Reply #33: While it's not really clear whether they're DoJ, OLC, or IG ...

... it's VERY clear that they understand the culture!! Very much so. Having worked in corporate internal audit and alongside corporate counsel, the attitudes and perspectives being portrayed are familiar to me, if not the particular organizations and their relationships in the Executive Branch and the variants of government insiders. Those comments are very clearly from the perspective of an insider ... and very aptly portray the culture of corruption.

I also find myself very much in agreement with this post ...

In my view the question of "are there one, two, or more programs" isn't relevant: The _known_ information shows there's been _illegal_ activity.

Whether there is _alot_ of illegal activity; or whether there is _multiple_ or _many_ program's merely confirms the foregone conclusion: There's illegal activity.

Time to stop digging for "confirmation" of what we know; and compel Congress to explain why -- despite the known illegalities -- they continue to fund what they know, or should know is illegal.

Murtha's cutting of the DoD COngressional liaision office budget shows that the budget tools are there: "Mr. President, cooeprate with our inquiry; or you get no money." The arugment that the GOP is 'blocking' the DNC is fiction: The DNC can cut the money and _make_ the GOP "pass" an Amemdnet to add money back.

Again, I appreciate there are people who want to spend time getting clues and "figuring things out" -- in my view, it would be more productive to take the information that we have, and give it to the DNC is a simple format: The FISA violations are known to be illegal; either cut the money, or we're going after you wtih prosecutions.
