#1 They're following standard lawyer practice - deny & delay. So, Mr. Issa, what are you going to do about it? What CAN you do about it? D**ned little.

#2 Contempt citations for un-produced and overly redacted documents. The trick is to get mid-level bureaucrats on the hook for jailtime and loss of pensions if they don't roll on the higher-ups

#3 Like the amazing product that is both a dessert topping and a floor wax, Obama has managed to become both Carterous and Nixonian. Impressive, but not in a good way.

#4 If Issa is frustrated he should think about how frustrated the citizens of the United States are with Issa. Issa is the only person outside BO's political machine that has the power to issue a subpoena that cannot be quashed. In about two hours time one of his staffers could write the 6 subpoenas that would settle all the issues of eligibility that continue to fester and divide our country.
As far as the NRA they have been sitting back and taking notes. They are very effective at what they do and "Gunrunner" has given them the ability to defeat any gun control legislation for at least 40 years. The anti-gun folks don't like the overwhelming statistics that prove gun control increases crime and inversely more guns equals less crime.
The democrats political machine has shown by "Gunrunner" they will facilitate mass murder, engage in crimes against humanity and when caught tell the house of representatives and the American people to pound sand; all to create a crisis that would be bootstrapped to get legislation for firearms confiscation. All those involved deserve the needle just like McVey. The NRA will be more than willing to rub the democrats nose in "Gunrunner" for generations to come.

#5 The gun grabbers in the administration are trying to create a false issue in order to introduce even more restrictive firearm legistlation--probably aimed at gun dealers.

One key person in Operation Gunrunner seems to be White House National Security Director for North America Kevin O'Reilly. Newell talked to him about this operation. How much did he know? Apparently Op Gunrunner was a multi-Federal agency initiative. Issa needs to find out who in the various agencies was involved and who involved them. Issa needs to go on up the chain. Someone authorized this operation. It is looking more like Holder/Obama.

Issa may be trying to keep this mess before the public as long as possible to eke out political advantage prior to election time. The Donks are going to have to distance themselves from Obama or defend Obama's attempt to neuter the 2nd amendment. Either way it will be an awkward and difficult issue for the donks.

#6 Eventually the gun dealers who let the guns walk, regardless of whether the BATF told them to or not, will be prosecuted and shut down. Following illegal military orders or government instructions does not get one off the hook.
