GOP lawmakers press Napolitano over decision to release illegal immigrants
“While the administration is clearly embarking on a campaign to scare the public and Congress about the realities of budget reductions, it is clear that you have not planned adequately for the March 1 sequestration,” said Grassley and Goodlatte in the letter dated Feb. 27 and released Thursday morning.
“Simply blaming budget reductions as a means to turn a blind eye toward the national security of the American people is a dangerous plan and one that calls into question the department’s preparations for sequestration.”…
Grassley and Goodlatte asked Napolitano to provide them with a number of details about the release of the illegal immigrants, including a cost analysis, the criminal records of the aliens released and which agency officials were involved in making the decision.

She’ll get right back to them on that.

Why bother? When was the last time that Republicans held obama, or anyone in his administration, responsible for any of their crimes? When obama is arrested and charged with TREASON, then we will know that Republicans are serious and have finally decided to do their jobs.

Janet responds, “Cause I could. What are you going to do about it? Hold me contempt, like my homie AG Holder? How’d that work out for you?”

Okay maybe she’ll just think it really hard.

Good. You know when the WH completely shifted blame to Big Sis that there was backfire they unanticipated.

I suspect you nailed it.

At this point what difference does it make? Republicans won’t do a damn thing about it.

Napolitano doesn’t pee, without Jarrett/Obama’s permission.
The buck stops higher.
Obama and Napolitano are national criminals.
She paid people overtime to release the criminals last weekend, without notifying the cops, sherifs and the public.
She s/b hanged.

Yeah, yeah, kick the can for a few days and then the SRM can step in and start speculating that the Republicans are obsessed with a totally resolved non-issue because they’re racist.
