So Burke "It's all a LIE!!" of the AZ AG office

is full of crap? Not exactly a big surprise, is it?
Now we find out, thanks to an email provided to Sipsey Street, that Billy Hoover wasn't the only ATF manager who thanked Dennis Burke for his hardline approach to the Grassley letter.

From: Melson, Kenneth E.
To: Burke, Dennis (USAAZ)
Sent: 2/3/2011 7:51:58 PM
Subject: Grassley

Dennis: I just got back from the Interpol meeting and wanted to thank you for your help on the Grassley response and for your work on Fast and Furious. Ken

This email is proof that if Melson ever was "sick to his stomach" as he claimed to the Issa and Grassley investigators, then he must have found the Phenergan pretty quickly.

This Melson email to Burke shoots his "What, me Gunwalker?" defense in the head.

Dead.

It is obvious that the Committee has some more questions -- hard questions -- to ask Kenneth E. Melson. The principal question for the rest of us onlookers is, who is playing whom?
Back at the time of Melson's testimony I gave him a certain benefit of doubt, that maybe having the costs of this operation thrown up before him really might have broken through; apparently I need to stop giving any of these people any such benefit.

Also, further rumors the gentleman reports from Sodom on the Potomac:
1. Committee is said to be ready for a document dump today, possibly emails from Dennis Burke to Holder and Napolitano, among others, that will blow those two Gunwalker conspirators out of their jobs.

2. Kevin O'Reilly, erstwhile State Department employee of Hillary's, fresh from the desert clime of Iraq, is said to have retained his own attorney and either has, or soon will, make his statement before the committee investigators.

3. Lamar Smith, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee from Texas, may, according to conflicting sources, either be about to cravenly fold on a sell-out deal with the Obamanoids to stop the damage at Eric Holder's career and call it a scandal, or is a stand-up guy who is determined about to take the scandal to the next level, no matter what the damage the truth has to the administration. Place your bets, for the roulette wheel is turning.
If you live in Texas, especially in Smith's district, it might not be a bad thing to call and present an opinion as to which he should do.
