#1 If we had a real AG, there would be special prosecutors and independent counsels going after this with subpoenas and prison time.

#2 "When I said back in March that your allegations of spying were beyond the scope of reason and couldn't be farther from the truth, I misspoke. It was a speak-o."

#3 Disband every alphabet agency and start over.

No previous employees can be hired for the new agencies.

#4 Appears the regime has set aside EO-12333 (Collection Against U.S. Persons). I hope it is soon discovered that Lois Lerner was one of their personal information conduits. I've always thought Brennan to be one of the puppet masters. Perhaps someone will stick his apology up his arse and file charges.

#5 Excuse me but isn't that a bit similar to, err.. Watergate?

#6 Using govertment agencies to go after political opponents? Yeah Nixon did that, it was criminal and evil. But Obama is different, he's a "progressive" and therefore beyond reproach, at least in the eyes of the press and Dems. /sarc

#7 If we had a real AG, there would be special prosecutors and independent counsels going after this with subpoenas and prison time.

Why would Holder bother when he's the odds-on favorite to have authorized this?

#8 It is past time for Brennan to resign, or be fired. It is past time for subpoenas and prison time.

#9 I wonder how much the Senate et al are sweating that there's not a Snowden mole in the CIA with reams of goodies for Enquirer or Drudge to unleash upon them? Now that would be reality TV.

#11 But Obama is different, he's a "progressive"

Nixon was a progressive, too, as was everyone to the left of Goldwater, as I understand it. But he was a Republican progressive, and therefore beyond the pale.

I'm bettin' he wouldn't mind sending up a patsy or two, as long as it was not one of his people.

#13 "his people" - you mean not prosecuting someone because they are black? Thats been his m.o. since he took over as the most corrupt AG in history.

#14 The political reality of not impeaching Obama is clear, since it would mega-rally his base who have no idea about the nature of the Republic's structure or separation of powers, but impeaching Holder, Johnson, the EPA and IRS liars, should be started. The problem in waiting it that it just emboldens them to step farther across the line in their quest for an Imperial Presidency and fiat power by EO. The firewalls of government structure are melting before our eyes and public trust in governance and citizenship is almost evaporating before out eyes....after November, there will be even worse, regardless of outcome, because the losers will feel the need to act in ways that are even more destabilizing.....
