6. Tap Dance, Issa...Tap Dance...

Looks like Issa is getting some cold feet...or even more to his character, he's passing the buck. For the past year and a half he's been under a lot of pressure to find something/anything to paint this Administration as corrupt. F&F has been his best hope and it's been a half-assed investigation. He knows his case isn't against those in this administration but in the previous one and if he pushes too far this fiasco could backfire on him. His job was to get the ball rolling...he's done that, it's now in Boner's court to see if he follows through with a full contempt vote. If all falls apart...which is likely...he's got a fall back position.

This deal is a lot of noise during the election cycle...totally political. The "base" has been howling for some red meat and Issa threw them some. The truth is this "contempt" is going nowhere and will never be litigated. The endgame here is to try to push Holder out before the elections and hoping that poutrage would do the job. It's failed. Next stupid rushpublican trick...
