The attorney general impeachment quinella

It is tough to make this bet on who comes in first and who comes in second in the Attorney General Impeachment Derby.  

A quinella is a horse racing bet in which the wager must be placed selecting first and second place finishers in order.  After the recent Lynch testimony, in which made it clear that she answers to no one except Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, she is right up there on the inside rail with Eric Holder.

Both Holder and now Lynch refused to answer questions from the people, via their elected representatives, in hearings held by the House of Representatives.  Why aren't more people upset about this?  We are entitled to know what goes on in our government.  Call me old-fashioned.

Lynch left 74 questions unanswered and essentially revealed nothing.  She invoked a new tactic in which she declared she could not comment on closed cases.  The old game, used frequently by Obama, was that commentary must be withheld regarding "ongoing investigations."  The conclusion is this: there will be no answers to any questions in either case, ongoing or closed.  Journalists sit drop-jawed, with their eyes rolled into the back of their heads. 

Eric Holder withheld Fast and Furious documents, refused to reveal who ordered the gun-running program, and issued false dates on officially submitted letters.  Obama invoked "executive privilege" and still withholds a tome of documents.  In each case, information was intentionally withheld from the public to protect someone from something.

So once again, we get the subservient attorney general answering "up" the chain rather than "across" to the representatives or "down" to the people.  I would speculate that there must be more power in the legislative branch to deal with this deceptive form of governing than is being used.  Let us conjure up the power to put a halt to this behavior.

Obama has six months to go.  Impeach Lynch, and do it now.  We have no government if those in power are not accountable, responsible, or open in their dealings.  We instead, by logical conclusion, must have something other than a representative arrangement.  Washington has become a fiefdom separated from the remainder of the country in matters of accountability but remains omnipresent in spewing idiotic regulations that hamstring commerce and twist our national ethos with bathroom accessibility mandates.

The time is right to fire a shot over the bow of Mr. Obama's disregard for our form of government.  Impeach Lynch, and stick another bow on Holder, whose departure from office was likely a concession to avoid impeachment, a de facto impeachment of sorts.

Maybe Holder has already won.  But certainly, both he and Lynch belong in the "winner's circle."
