Why is this man smiling? He's taking the Fifth, of course.
There are rumors floating about regarding the three Assistant U.S. Attorneys in Phoenix during the Fast and Furious clandestine operation, one of whom, Patrick Cunningham, has already resigned and claimed Fifth Amendment protections. I am reliably informed by an investigation insider that the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee will have an announcement on this in the morning. Look for it to involve some real Fifth Amendment Theater.
Gunwalker ping.
They have to show up at the hearing room to take the 5th. Great TV, political theater, and ad fodder. Can’t wait till Holder takes it too. Most ethical administration ever?

You’re acting on the assumption that any of the major networks will actually show it.
The Attorney General of the United States pleading the 5th....? Nah, that’s not news! Let’s talk about a conversation that Newt Gingrinch MIGHT have had 20 years ago! Now that’s important stuff....
Spot on VikingMOm.
A few weeks ago Attorney General Eric Holder appeared before Issa’s committee to answer questions about Fast & Furious.
He had to be forced to appear.
That evening on the N.B.C. news, it wasn’t mentioned.
