Connecting the dots of Fast and Furious was child’s play. There was only one purpose it could serve. The mystery is why people involved in that little conspiracy to destroy the Constitution aren’t in prison. People are still dying from Holder’s Obamaguns.

The mystery is why people involved in that little conspiracy to destroy the Constitution aren’t in prison.

Not much of a mystery.
You see, the Republican party is about none of what it claims to be about, they put on a show (with Issa) about investigating Fast and Furious but, in fact, did nothing.

Why?
Because they agree with the Democrat agenda. (More aptly described as The Statist Agenda.)
Look at how the Republicans failed to take advantage of the no-lose situation of attacking the NSA after Snowden's reveal. (At worst they would have failed at abolishing the NSA, yet had something to point to saying See, we are upholding the Constitution and garnered a lot of political capital — instead they sat on their hands, spoke from both sides of their mouth, and did nothing.)
Ir the IRS political targeting. (Again, many Democrats know that these tactics can be used on them too; Nixon did it — smacking the IRS down would only have generated positive political capital.)
Look at how, after gaining a landslide victory they backpedal on repeal of ObamaCare.

So, why then didn't they capitalize on these no-lose scenarios?
Because the moment they would have appeared to do something they would have been pressured into following through — moreover, their fellow congressmen [on both sides of the aisle] would be pressured to act.

They are statists and cannot bear the thought of harming their god: government.
