Strange news day, notwithstanding some bad news as usual, there’s actually a few good news stories today.

Good news? Naah.

All talk, no action. Krauthammer was right the other day, the administration has run out the clock on any Benghazi outrage, and they'll do the same here.

This is smoke and mirrors. To the morons who voted for Obama, Holder is a hero for telling off congress, and the Republicans are engaged in a groundless witch hunt. I don't think this is swaying any opinions.

I'll get excited when they jail the AG, not some low level retired patsy like Lois Lerner, and they are a long, long way from jailing her, let alone anybody important.

Holder is on the way out, he doesn't give a rat's rear end what the House does. He'll stall, like he's done on Fast and Furious, and like with Benghazi, the press will yawn, and nothing will happen.

On his way out the door, Obama will issue pardons left, right and center, and whoever is in what is left of the White House, Rat or Rino, will claim with a dignified tone that what's in the past should stay there and there will be no justice for what's been allowed to happen.

I'd love to be wrong, but I'm afraid that's exactly what will happen.

““They will never have the balls to actually arrest her.”

That’d be my guess, too.”

All smoke no fire. They will not touch her.

The House GOP leadership and 90 percent of the rank and file have already has shown their true stripes with a “repeal and replace” attitude towards Obamacare.

We got the new taxes called “airline fees” in the Paul Ryan and Patty Murray budget deal.

And then the Republican leadership pushed through a higher credit card limit for the country called the “debt ceiling”.

The tax and spend liberal Republican leadership has to put on a dog and pony show for the primary elections in the face of conservative challengers.

So we get all this noise about Lois Lerner.

Perhaps they'll make her watch Ono's off Broadway musical Hiroshima. A survivor of the WWII event called watching that play, "The most horrifying experience of my life."

If Eric the Red doesn't act on Lerner I pray to God that a threshold of corruption by Holder will be breached precipitating impeachment proceedings against him.
That would be Justice Squared.

It seems that they are dotting all the I’s and crossing all the T’s clearly telegraphing what is coming when it is determined the DOJ is not going to act.

The timing is important to haul her to the congressional jail in mid September.
