Yup, the White Hut desperately needs a sacrifice to try and take some of the heat off.

It would be delightful to see Holder cut loose. He'd be mad as hell at the administration, but more importantly, he'd be vulnerable. A little heat from Issa, an indictment, or lawsuit and he'd strike back the people who put him in his predicament.
It would be ecstasy to watch him burn; it would be even better to watch him turn on his betrayers.
But, Valjar knows this.So does 'bam.
