“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

~ George Washington (1787)

Justice Department official takes the Fifth on "Fast & Furious"

From Hot Air:  "DoJ figure taking the 5th in Fast & Furious probe".

"One point is pretty clear, though.  Officials at the DoJ involved in this operation are fearing criminal prosecution, which means that this scandal just went prime time."
It's past time to clean house in Washington, D.C.
