Sipsey Street Exclusive: More DOJ Whistleblowers Emerge, This Time From DC. Do they bear "the keys to the kingdom?" "There sure is a sense of renewed enthusiasm here."

The keys to the kingdom.
Multiple, previously highly credible, sources close to the Gunwalker investigation report that there are at least one and perhaps two sources within the Department of Justice headquarters who have approached the Issa Committee seeking whistleblower status. One source, who reported that there were at least two of Eric Holder's subordinates who "came in from the cold," characterized them as "high-level" DOJ employees "with knowledge of Eric Holder's actions before and after" the 4 February 2011 DOJ letter denying that the DOJ and its subordinate agencies knew about "gunwalking." That letter has since been admitted by DOJ to have been a lie. If true, one or both of these whistleblowers may be the so-called "mole" -- a source within DOJ said to have been leaking documents, including the wiretap affidavits, to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
What they bring with them from the cold, according to one source, is "the keys to the kingdom as far as Holder is concerned," adding "if this comes out before the (contempt) vote (on 20 June), then Holder is toast." Said another, "not even Boehner will be able to stop it. Hell, he'll really jump on board and act like it was his idea."
This surprising development has re-energized the investigation staff, which was widely rumored to be floundering after the reluctance, not to say opposition, of the GOP leadership became known some months ago. One source called these whistleblowers "game changers" while another, after speaking of the frustrations of recent months said, "But there sure is a sense of renewed enthusiasm here."
The emergence of two more whistleblowers, this time from Eric Holder's inner sanctum, may be one reason Congressman Issa sent this final offer to Attorney General Holder offering what sounds like one last chance to negotiate seriously, or else. When I commented upon this to one of the sources, "Oh, yeah, he's got the 'or else' in his pocket . . . more than one actually."
Other reporters are now chasing this story, so I expect we'll be hearing more on this development sooner rather than later.

"if this comes out before the (contempt) vote (on 20 June), then Holder is toast."

That statement shows deception. What would be the reason for this not coming out before the June 20? Are the "whistle blowers", or Issa and his staff hiding it for some reason? Is Boehner, with tears in his eyes and no nuts in his sack, demanding it not be released?

Mike,
Others may run their own flag up the pole and say "Look at me!" but your readers know who did the work and who has the brass nads.
Keep the pressure on.
The Devil couldn't kill you and there is a "Just" God in Heaven.
Thank you!

Sounds more like Issa & company have caved.

The only surprise to me about whistle blowers from DOJ coming forward is the time it took them to do the right thing. After all, their associates were engaged in accessory to murder and conspiracy and have been playing games for 18 months. I wonder if the Wire Tap Apps brought them out - since that appears to be the first game changer. Issa and Grassley both acted on Thursday that Holder was just about out of time.

I hope he/she/they have some choice words for Schnedar and her IG investigation.

Thanks Mike for bringing us some great news on top of great news!

I am liking this-- this is how the high and mighty fall. This is way better than any entertainment available on the planet.

But we shall see.

If Issa actually has an "or else", he should be moving for impeachment, not negotiation of "which parts of the items we have independently identified in spite of the DOJ's obstruction will be officially turned over for us to 'prove' what we actually knew all along."

don't forget that this is not a trial (yet) but an investigation, and they investigators are simply letting the perps rack up as many charges and counts as they can, while simultaneously playing dumb/powerless...all the while knowing what incriminating evidence and witnesses actually exist.

Because they have enough to cook somebodys goose, but good, and can probably get multiple geese by doing just what they are doing.

Cop work 101.
