“Journalists should not be at legal risk for doing their jobs,” President Obama said. “Our focus must be on those who break the law.”

Why bother? Holder, et al, can NEVER manage to find any of their wrongdoing. Not once in all the large and small scandal that this Admin has created have they been able to find (because they ignore) the obvious criminality that they have done. Whitewash, whitewash, whitewash.

In other news, DHS, the IRS, the DOJ, the EPA and every other agency have NO influence from the White House, including the fact they owe their JOBS to an Obama appointment.

What a bunch of crap.

Why, hell. Holder can put a sock puppet on each hand and have them talk to each other. Makes sense.

How any decent American can vote “D” for the democratic party is totally beyond me. This whole thing these past 5 years is incredible. And it’s getting worse.

This so reminds me of the Greek Council from Revenge of the Nerds. Stan Gable and Betty Childs will investigate the “crimes” that they themselves performed against the Tri-Lams.
