Democrats are playing the blame game as to why Villafuerte withdrew her nomination for the U.S. Attorney position for Colorado.  An aide to Sen. Mark Udall gave his observation.

According to Alan Salazar, an aide to Senator Mark Udall, among Villafuerte's most prominent and powerful backers, much of that guesswork has simply been wrong.

"The notion that we got behind closed doors and pushed her out is total bullshit," Salazar says. "It didn't happen. In fact, it was just the opposite."

Operation C.Y.A. begins.

"Mark felt an obligation to talk to Senator Sessions to see if this delay was about stopping the confirmation," Salazar says. "He was thinking, 'How do we fix this? How can we have Stephanie answer any and all questions so the confirmation process can go forward?'"

Time will be the only thing that acquits or convicts Villafuerte.  In the mean time all we can do is sit back and enjoy the spectacle.
