In other words...
The FBI isn't investigating anything and stonewalling Congress.
Is there any doubt in anyone's mind that Obama and Holder are behind it?

Issa: FBI impeding inquiry into IRS targeting of conservative groups - Washington Times
The Houses chief investigator says the FBI is stonewalling his inquiry into whether the agency and the Internal Revenue Service targeted conservative group True the Vote for special scrutiny, and Rep. Darrell E. Issa is now threatening subpoenas to pry loose the information from FBI Director James B. Comey Jr.
Mr. Issa, California Republican, and Rep. Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican, are leading the House Oversight and Government Reform Committees IRS inquiry. They also said the FBI is refusing to turn over any documents related to its own investigation into the IRS, which began in the days after an auditors report revealed the tax agency had improperly targeted tea party groups for special scrutiny.
Six months after it began, the FBIs investigation has resulted in no release of information. The congressmen said the FBI even rescinded an offer for an in-person briefing with the assistant director in charge of the investigation. The reversal, after the FBI consulted with the Justice Department, suggests political meddling, the two investigators said.
The departments tactics have impeded a congressional investigation and interfered with the committees access to documents and information. Obstructing a congressional investigation is a crime, Mr. Issa and Mr. Jordan said in their letter to Mr. Comey, warning that if they dont get the information they will use compulsory means.
