Q: When I first heard about the information sharing issues, my eyes nearly popped out of my head.
MELSON: Well, so did mine.
Q: I’m curious when you communicated that to the DAG, did his eyes pop out of his head, did he think this was a big problem.
MELSON: I can’t tell you what he thought or how he thought. But he simply said, “We will have to look into it.”
Oh my, oh my, oh my.

PS… Yeah, that’s a little obscure, huh? Sorry: there’s some stuff going on. Real quick: Melson is the guy formerly designated to be the fall guy on the DoJ’s Fast & Furious coverup; that exchange is probably the basis for the report that Deputy AG Jim Cole was briefed on F&F; and Cole is probably going to be the next guy designated to be the fall guy on F&F.
The domino effect… Too bad it won’t reach as high as it probably should
@qixlqatl – It might reach higher than you think. Most of the people in that chain are more interested in advancing themselves/saving their own hide than in advancing the administration’s agenda. And in this case, there are likely to be much more serious consequences than a lost job and a cushy lobbying job. On top of the Congressional investiations, Mexico is pushing for extradition. /evilgrin
