If it is absurd....why hide the documents?

It’s weird to live in a post-Clinton world where perjury is only occasionally a serious matter, depending on who does the lying under oath, and which authority is being lied to.

It took nine months for Eric Holder’s Justice Department to admit that letter was false and retract it.

Obama and Holder made purely political calculations that this scandal would be swept under the rug by the media, giving them plenty of room to stonewall investigators until after the 2012 elections. The first level of stonewalling involved denials that were indisputably proven false, and subsequently retracted. Level Two involved claiming that the surrender of documents would imperil criminal prosecutions under way because of Operation Fast and Furious. That little tactic quietly dissolved when it became apparent there really weren’t any notable prosecutions coming out of the gun-walking program… which is one of its more curious attributes.

Level Three of the Administration’s foot-dragging was the preposterous “internal investigation” that Holder constantly references, and which has now allegedly been in progress for years.
