In the Samuel Beckett play, there are those gathered waiting for a man named Godot.  Godot never arrives.  Not one of my favorite narratives.

I like when things that are incomplete become completed.  There is a satisfaction involved.  The events and players in Washington, D.C. offer little satisfaction in completing what is the promise of transparency.  We wait.

Darrell Issa is waiting for the president to supply the entire cache of documents involving Fast and Furious.

For Janet Yellen to tell us about the results of the investigation into the leak of the Federal Reserve minutes from years ago.  There was an internal investigation, which was apparently terminated by those being investigated.  Congressman Sean Duffy has called for more information.  What’s the hold-up?

Hillary, where are those Goldman Sachs transcripts?  Did you “look into it” as you promised?  What did you find?

Regarding Benghazi, who gave the “stand down” order that has been corroborated by so many?

The 9/11 Commission is withholding 28 pages of the report.  Why?  And whom exactly is the Commission working for if not the American people?

Nidal Hasan. There is no chance of executing an innocent man in this case.  So when is the execution date?

Hillary’s emails come out in tranches years after the initial requests.  We still wait for an FBI decision even though Hillary admitted to cleaning the server that held official government communications.  That in itself is indictable.

In so many matters of government and politics, there are convenient roadblocks for those wishing to keep sunlight off the topic at hand.  Lois Lerner and the 5th Amendment invocation point out that federal employees do not have to report to their employers if they choose not to do so – a unique situation that should be reviewed.

Executive privilege becomes executive misuse of power at what point? 

The waiting game is high sport in politics, and as in the play by Beckett, that which is waited for never seems to arrive.  Perhaps that play was a commentary on Washington, D.C.
