Fox News says the Justice Department is panicking.
Officials at the Department of Justice are in “panic mode,” according to multiple sources, as word spreads that congressional testimony next week will paint a bleak and humiliating picture of Operation Fast and Furious, the botched undercover operation that left a trail of blood from Mexico to Washington, D.C.
My prediction? Lots of sanctimonious posturing, some shuffling among the ranks and then back to business as usual.
Getting a little crowded under the Anointed One’s Bus, isn’t it? Don’t know how many more underlings will fit between the Axles, do you?
I’m afraid it’s going to be worse than that. I don’t know if he can get away with it, but I could see Teh One saying that all these problems arose from “a lack of firm and consistent leadership at the Bureau,” and push past all normal processes to shove Andrew Traver into the permanent directorship.
The only thing fast and furious about that operation is the overheating collection of shredders. I hear those things draw a lot of current. Maybe Obama can create some of those “green jobs” by hiring laid-off California state works to shred evidence by hand?
“My prediction? Lots of sanctimonious posturing, some shuffling among the ranks and then back to business as usual.”
I think you’re right about that; all they will do is throw a few middle-ranking people out the back of the sleigh, but the higher-ups will all claim they didn’t know a thing about it.
