Ace:
What I glean from this is that the previous White House position — nothing more needs be done, this is all a “partisan fishing expedition” — is now inoperative, and a new defense — fire Lois Lerner and then claim that nothing more needs be done, this is all now just a partisan fishing expedition, again — is now in effect.
My thoughts exactly.
