#2 CNN + FOX NEWS this AM > looks like "last-ditch" talks at compromise have utterly failed.

Eric's ass is now grass - unless a miracle happens, its only a question of how many contempt-n-obstruction of Justice, Congress charges will be levied on the final list???

And iff he'll spill the beans on what the Bammer + top Admin knew???

#3 I'm betting that Team Ogabe is going to brazen this out. The MSM has so far succeeded in keeping F&F out of the consciousness of all but the most obsessive political/current affairs junkies (such as those of us here at the 'Burg). Some VERY conservative friends, who I think of as intelligent and reasonably well-informed folks, had absolutely zero knowledge of F&F until I mentioned it to them. Beside the smokescreen surrounding F&F, you have the upcoming SCOTUS ruling on Obamacare, which the MSM will damn sure use to keep F&F somewhere between the sports section and the Safeway weekly-specials ads.

#4 My sensing is a number of factors have placed Team Obama desperately on the ropes. The White house leaks scandal which is in it's infancy will surely soon begin to grow legs. The actual F&F event is now a side issue with the Nixonian cover-up the main event. Holder will likely not survive, and Articles of Impeachment could even be levied against The One. Has anyone seen Joe Biden recently? While I joined yesterday's chorus of Jimmy Carter mockers, he's got a point with the Drone Zapping, which is gaining negative momentum with our "friends" overseas. Add to this the issue of presidential toxicity and the declining turn out at the Democratic Convention [soon to be held at a cabin on Lake Norman]. With the anticipated sinking of Obama Care this week, he'll likely throw out some wild-eyed EO counter punch distraction, that will grab the news and anger many. Obama's "Good War" in Afghanistan is developing a very serious case of the suck, as are our relations with Pakistan, Turkey, Syria, Egypt, and Russia. Lastly, as campaign financial backers sense a potential November loser, Team Obama's resources are rapidly being depleted. No tickie, no ride.

Aside from a rained out golf game this week end, about the only thing that could make this month worse for Team Obama would be a scandalous Rielle Hunter-Lite [white woman in the oval office] disclosure or a Condi Rice decision to run as Mitt's VP candidate.

If we must, I for one am totally on board with a Biden - Pelosi ticket.

#5 Bezo, "Holder will likely not survive, and Articles of Impeachment could even be levied against The One"

Doesn't take any notice of the time factor. It is little more than 4 months till the election and most of that will be taken up with campaigning and vacationing. Holder may quit but that's about all that could happen before Nov.

Everything else will be postponed to next year and depending on the winners and losers all bets are off.

Keep hammering this to kill off any hope of Zero winning but with the MSM proclivities that may not be enough.

#6 Holder's resignation would be a lovely start. Yes Alan, not a great deal of time remaining before the election.

Or a Pelosi-Jane Fonda ticket. Ought to be a lot of Hollywood types that would cough up their hard- earned (cough, cough, ahem and ahem) dollars.

#8 We are up to 4

Democratic Reps. John Barrow (Ga.), Collin Peterson (Minn.) and Nick Rahall (W.Va.) will all vote in favor of contempt in addition to Rep. Jim Matheson (Utah) when the measure comes to the House floor on Thursday.

#9 The significant piece not yet picked up on by the MSM or COngress appears to be the coincidence of F&F and the opening to Mexican Law Enforcement of the ATF weapon tracking database. One site was put in the US Embassy in Mexico City and Mexican LE was allowed to run guns associated with cartel violnce against the US database. So the data would make it look like the bulk of cartel violence was from weapons from US gun shows and dealers. Only one problem, the database does not reflect the serial numbers of US Military Weapons, specifically all those given to Latin American governments, both US made and foreign made, and which have been sold out the back of the armories to the Cartels. So even though the majority of major cartel violence might be with milspec weapons, only the ones run against the ATF database would be linked to the US. Gee, does it look a little clearer now?
