If you take the 5th before testifying, it surely indicates that you have something to hide and so when the Department of Justice's point man on Fast and Furious takes the right not to incriminate himself, one has to wonder who else knew about this and when did they know it. Seems to us we are going to have another Watergate cover up scenario. The questions are 1) will there be others who stonewall Congress 2) can the damage to the Administration be held off until after the election and 3) is Holder going to end up holding the bag by taking "one for the team?"
We believe that there will be others who will resign, that the damage might not be completely clear until after the election as the Administration will do everything in its power to put it off and Holder will resign and go work for Buffett.(As a favor to Obama putting the Keystone pipeline on hold.)
So what do you think? We see this Administration as corrupt beyond imagination and cannot wait for the last day we are blessed with MeeeShel being our First Lady!

DOJ Official Who Took the 5th Resigning – Issa Goes After Another…
J. Patrick Cunningham took the 5th and is now running away to the private sector. Congressman Darrell Issa is now turning his attention to Federal Prosecutor Michael Morrissey to testify just prior to Eric Holder once again coming before Congress to answer for the deadly debacle that was Fast and Furious.
Morrissey worked directly under the supervision of now-outgoing U.S. Attorney J. Patrick Cunningham. The swift departure of Cunningham – a man the Eric Holder DOJ indicated should be the primary point-man for any and all questions pertaining to Fast and Furious, has only added to the appearance of some serious and ongoing cover-up manipulations byAttorney General Holder. If Michael Morrissey were to plead the 5th as well instead of answer questions from the Congressional committee, this appearance would most certainly be further solidified.
Eric Holder is scheduled to appear again before Congress on Fast and Furious next Tuesday.
