Two senior Republican lawmakers asked the Department of Justice to review how it enforces abortion regulations and detail actions it has taken to enforce the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, a 2003 law that bans late-stage abortions. Asked whether her department would open an investigation, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said: "At this point, we are going to review all the information and determine what steps, if any, to take at the appropriate time."Translation: Cold day in hell, chumps. Cold day in hell. The DOJ could do a pretend investigation and claim it found nothing, but that would run the risk of more videos coming out that clearly show Planned Parenthood is flouting the law and brazenly so. Lynch will almost certainly just wait it out until the media takes its cue to drop any obligatory attention to the story and re-relegate it to conservative alternate media - essentially putting in the same category as Benghazi and the IRS scandal. It's not real news unless we say it is. Of course, there's nothing stopping a congressional committee from doing its own investigation and issuing subpoenas, and that's a very real possibility. Just because Planned Parenthood and its helper Lynch try to wait out the news cycle doesn't mean the strategy will work. But that's clearly the idea. See no evil, hear no evil . . . and needless to say, report no evil.
