The “lower-level” scapegoats are starting to sing.
This was inevitable. And since these people follow the Clinton playbook (they are, after all, many of the same people), you can expect vicious attacks on their character and credibility once they come forward.

My thoughts on the IRS crimes, over at PJMedia.
The current state of play. This is disturbing:
Bolden has acknowledged in congressional testimony, most recently in an April 25 hearing of the Senate Appropriations commerce, justice, science subcommittee, that without a fully funded Commercial Crew Program, the agency may have to pick only one aspiring provider to fund.
That could happen as soon as next summer, when NASA plans to award the next round of Commercial Crew funding.
They make it sound like he’s issuing a threat when that’s exactly what Congress wants them to do. If I were Bolden (or rather, if I were administrator — obviously if I were Bolden I’d do what Bolden would do), I’d be figuring out a way to avoid the down select with a smaller budget. But if I were administrator, a lot of things would be done differently.

I hope that this is the week that the American people finally wake up, after having stared into the abyss.
…or actually accomplishing something?
This isn’t exactly breaking news.
OK, so if I’m understanding Carney and Obama and all the president’s men correctly, the only part of the federal government over which Obama has any insight or control is Seal Team Six?
