#8 Cynic that I am, I can't help wondering if Lieberman is more interested in sweeping this thing under the rug than he is in exposing it. My impression of Bersin is that he is a climber always on the lookout for newer, bigger opportunities. Maybe he'll run for a state wide office. I doubt if the LA Times would look too hard for any complicity on his part with F&F. Could also be that he just wants to get away from the stink. |

#7 *cough* Presidential pardon *cough* Was it wrong of me to think 'British Petroleum' when I saw BP? Or is this just a shorthand that 'those in the know' already are aware of? |

#6 He has no immunity whatsoever, whether a government employee or a private citizen, unless the DoJ specifically grants him immunity. |

#5 Correction these guys do not fall on their sword, they fall into a big pile of money. Onto a lucrative paycheck in the private sector for his import/export "expertise." But at least he will no longer be gun-running for the Cartels on the taxpayer's dime. |

#4 The resignation wouldn't give him immunity from a Senate subpoena, would it? He still knows what he knew and was responsible for what took place at the time in question, though he won't be after the 30th, right? |

#3 OK, I understand cockroaches fleeing from the light, but it seems a little early in the game to be falling on your sword. Also, as head of the BP, doesn't he have some government immunity and access to DOJ legal resources? |

#2 Alan was a US Atty, Supt of San Diego City Schools, et al, and a RECESS APPOINTMENT. That alone should tell you he was damaged goods, like much of Obama's political apppointments |
