This story will get a lot of very loud coverage from the MSM for a while, for two reasons. First, the MSM can "demonstrate" that they're not totally in the tank for Obama. But I put "demonstrate" in quotes for a reason. Their real purpose here is to distract America from the story of the Benghazi cover-up, if they can. Thus do they protect their chief. If I were really paranoid, l'd say that Team Obama was holding the IRS scandal in reserve for when they could really use a diversion. Like now.

If the Dems lose in '16, BHO can go Clinton one better - have a mass pardon in time to shuffle them all into the inaugual ceremony & jeer the incoming president.

Does it work both ways - can a governor pardon a federal felon?

I don't THINK a federal offficial can issue a pardon for a conviction handed down by a state jury. Can anyone here speak to this?

So we got guilty verdicts for Gosnell & Arias in the same week. Maybe there's some justice left in our old justice system after all.

Even if every bit of this is true, the press is only trumpeting it to distract the nation from the Benghazi cover-up.

Remember, everyone - feeding the trolls just encourages them, whether they're posters or columnists.

Respectfully, I must disagree. True Constitution-thumping American conservatives are Republican In Name Only. The people listed above are real-McCoy Republicans, in good standing with their party.

The Republican Party will survive and thrive just so long as America's conservatives can stomach the thought of voting for Toomey, Snowe, Romney, Schwarzenegger, Bush/Bush, Specter, Dole, Murkowski, McCain . . .

Oh, well . . . Go, Rangers! And Go, Conservatives, where-ever you are!
