Feinstein, Reid, Boehner, Issa, etc. Remember this always:

The only real "transparency" involved in the stunt that Feinstein pulled yesterday is that you got to see the ugly underbelly of "politics".  The report itself is crap, and she and everyone else knows that it's crap.  It was "written" before the (cough!) "investigation" ever took place, and it was written entirely by Democrats WITHOUT INTERVIEWING A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL INVOLVED IN THE PRACTICES THEY WERE "INVESTIGATING"!!  

In fact, they actually REFUSED to interview people who came forward and requested to be interviewed.  Now, people, if you can't see through that, you're blinder than Stevie Wonder.

There are three factors behind Feinstein's ugly dog-and-pony show:  She was enraged that the CIA apparently spied on some Senators - including her - and this was payback, pure and simple (yes, politicians can be and are petty, and perfectly willing to commit acts of utter mayhem to get even with their perceived "enemies" - you should never believe otherwise). 

And, there's the little matter of political revenge for the midterm elections, which you must never underestimate.  I guarantee that if the Democrats had not lost control of the Senate, this report would not have been released to poison the climate for the next session of Congress.

Third, it's no coincidence that Feinstein hit the Senate floor at exactly the moment that Gruber was getting grilled in Issa's committee.  What can distract us from something like that?  Only a bigger distraction!

Anyone who buys Feinstein's high-sounding "motivations" for releasing this report should never be sent to town to buy milk, or entrusted with minding her baby sister for an hour. 

And this fundamental reality (that politicians do POLITICS)  holds equally for Reid, Boehner, Schumer, McConnell, Issa, and the rest of them.  IGNORE what they SAY their "motivations" are and LOOK FOR THE POLITICAL REASON. 

I mention Schumer as a great example.  Recently he came out with "regrets" about Obamacare, and immediately people jumped to the silly notion that he was having a stab of conscience for all the damage that Ocare has done - and will do a lot more of.

Read what he said with your new political eye, and you'll see that his "regrets" were not the result of some "Damascus road" enlightenment, but rather his REGRET WAS ABOUT THE POLITICAL FALLOUT FROM OBAMACARE THAT COST THE DEMOCRATS THE SENATE.  It's all right there in his full remarks if you care to look. 

I'm just sayin'.  Doctors do doctor things.  Plumbers do plumber things.  Librarians do library things.  And politicians do political things.  Put that in your back pocket, and don't leave home without it.
