He's not the one taking the 5th or being held in contempt.

You're right. He's a congressman. He'd never doing anything below the belt.

If he is, then charge him with something.

Why? It's more fun just watching him destroy himself. He's accomplished nothing in 6 years of investigating.

Because the administration has immense power to stonewall and has used that power repeatedly.

The most transparent administration ever, remember that? Yeah, sure, right.

True, they aren't doing anything that previous administrations haven't done. Except, of course, claiming to be the most transparent administration ever.

Well, that and they're a lot better at it. Let's remember, it was the lovely and talented Janet Reno that appointed the SP in the Clinton admin, and it was Ashcroft that did the same in something as silly and inconsequential as "outting" a desk jockey analyst.

So we'll see if the contemptible holder finally sees something more than racism in all this smoke, but I doubt it. The idea that he would appoint a SP to actually hold anyone accountable in this administration must be akin to drinking bleach.

It appears the "most transparent administration evah" would take a live boy/ dead girl type scandal to trigger a legit investigation, and even then I wouldn't hold my breath.
