....in large, compartmental and geographically diverse organizations such as the US government? Do you know the tactics and impact of purposeful inaction, of transferring work to other sections without providing guidance or expectations? That's exactly what this report lays out.

Reading between the lines, one can easily surmise that the determinations unit manager and the EO director were in cahoots. I think it's good that Holder has initiated investigations, it needs to come out.

Lerner will go down for this, along with others. "I haven't done anything wrong!" (but I plead the 5th so as to not incriminate myself)

Pleading the 5th is a smart choice for her but she shouldn't have said anything at all. Right now her actions very much look like a violation of the Hatch Act and that is a fast-track for termination from government service. The Hatch Act is taught every year in mandatory ethics training. But, refusing to testify, well, that's not in the table of penalties so she has a much better chance of keeping her career taking that track.

So, sit in the corner and cry, "conspiracy bullshit." I'm gonna watch the show.
