Gunwalker scandal rumors, wild and tame


"Hey, Boss, I heard that Janet Napolitano's gonna throw us both under the Gunwalker bus."

David Codrea reported yesterday a rumor which I have also heard: "Will Holder Hold Preemptive Press Conference Before Hearings?" He writes:

I'm ordinarily loathe to pass on unverified reports, but this whole Gunwalker mess started exactly that way, and the track record for corroboration has been pretty good so far.

With that as caveat, a little bird told me that the title question is one worth asking.

I've actually heard more intriguing speculation, but at this point let's just see if anything comes of this.


There are a lot of rumors floating out there in the Gunwalker smog. Here's one from an email the other day:

A good friend of mine who's pretty close to this tells me that video evidence has surfaced in this 'issue'. Lets just say that this evidence is damning would be putting it mildly.

Very damning. Not sure it'll see the light of day, but it has started a few other avenues of discussion within the ranks of the 'almightys' cabinet.


This fellow is not the only one I heard the "damning video" rumor from. An even more improbable rumor (also heard in more than one place)is that Janet Napolitano, who does have political ambitions after the Obama administration, is making her own calculation how to get out the way of future Gunwalker prosecutions.

That's the nice thing about rumors: they could be true, they could be false, but they keep everybody guessing.
