"Eric Holder, I think, is a far Left candidate that will not be welcomed by a majority of the country."
-Katie Pavich Not the first time speculation of his presidential run has been floated. Holder was the only US Attorney General in the history of the Republic to be held in both civil and criminal contempt during his time in office. He was Barack Obama's partner in crime, in decimating race relations during his tenure, opposing voter ID laws, fostering citizens' rights for enemy combatant terrorists and blundering in his disastrous attempt to foment new restrictions on the Second Amendment, with his ill fated Fast and Furious gun running scheme. That said, he may be the best that Democrats can offer!
U S Attorney General Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress on two separate votes, one civil and one criminal. I heard Mr. Holder give a statement in his own defense, where he tried lamely to state that Fast and Furious was a continuation of a Bush era program. Unfortunately for Holder and other liars in this administration, operation Wide Receiver, which was started under the Bush administration, with the knowledge and cooperation of the Mexican government, was able to actually track a much smaller number of guns. The program was shut down two years prior to the Obama administration's Fast and Furious, because of the difficulty in keeping track of the weapons.
In addition, the Obama administration did not inform the Mexican government of the program, nor were any arrests made, as was the case under Wide Receiver.
Fast and Furious is a wholly owned subsidiary of the oxymoronically named "Obama Justice Department", which sent false testimony to Congress denying that the program even existed.
Tell that to Border Patrol agent Brian Terry and some 200-300 dead Mexican citizens killed with weapons obtained illegally and "walked" across the border, aided and abetted by the Obama DOJ.
Martha Stewart was found guilty on four counts of obstructing justice for lying to federal investigators. She was sentenced to five months in prison.
Roger Clemons was charged with lying to Congress, facing up to 21 months in prison if convicted. He was acquitted.
Scooter Libby told the truth to Congress, but his recollections differed from another witness, so he was sentenced to a 30-month prison term, which was later commuted.
Eric Holder both lied repeatedly and presented false testimony to Congress (Mr. Holder believes there's a difference!). In addition, he refuses to turn over documents that could clarify exactly who is responsible for the Fast and Furious debacle which lead to the death of Border Patrol agent Brian A. Terry and literally hundreds of Mexican citizens.
Guess which one of these four is not or has not been under indictment for lying? Guess which one liberal Democrats are trying in vain to defend?
"...to undermine the person who is assigned to block the voter suppression in our country..."
-Nancy Pelosi
Hey, Nancy! What do you call someone who is "assigned" to do something and then doesn't do it? Note she didn't say "the person who actually has blocked voter suppression in our country", because that would mean doing things like prosecuting the New Black Panthers when they practiced voter intimidation in Philadelphia, which he didn't.
Why is it that when anyone else lies to Congress over matters as insignificant as to whether or not baseball players used performance enhancing drugs, they throw the book at them, but when someone sworn to uphold the law, who holds the highest law enforcement office in the land, lies over policies with international repercussions, that got people killed because of seeming incompetence, with indications of a cover up of that incompetence, which could reach to the highest levels of government, partisan hacks like Nancy Pelosi can't even generate a little faux attention?
No, Nancy Pelosi, running away from Holder's lies and incompetence like Barack Obama running away from his record on the economy, is left with nothing but race baiting innuendo.
Someone tell me again how this ditz got to be Speaker of the House? This Halloween, when you need to tell a scary story, tell the one how Nancy Pelosi was second only to Joe Biden in the line of succession to the Presidency. But first, warn anyone with a weak heart!
Holder refused to say whether or not he would voluntarily appear before the committee again, but only that he would "consider it". (Issue the subpoena, Mr. Issa!)
Striking too, the five boxes of email that was provided by just one gun dealer compared to the amount of evidence the entire DoJ was able to contribute.
It is hard to believe that there was not a single email from the Attorney General regarding an operation that required the purchase and distribution of guns, which were to be sold illegal, with a near certainty that they would be transported into a neighboring country and used by violent criminals.
How incompetent is the oxymoronic Obama Justice Department, that no one knows who authorized this program? Can you say "cover up"? Sgt. Eric Shultz knows "nussing".
For the good of the country, Holder should immediately resign. Failing that, Obama should fire him. Failing that, we need to clean out this entire rat's nest in Washington in November of 2012.
PHOENIX - Weapons linked to a questionable government strategy are turning up in crimes in Valley neighborhoods.
For months the ABC15 Investigators have been searching through police reports and official government documents. We’ve discovered assault weapons linked to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ controversial "Fast and Furious" case strategy have turned up at crime scenes in Glendale and Phoenix communities.
More guns sales ineptly handled by BATFE are showing up at crime scenes on this side of the border. The story and the reporter repeatedly talk about this as a "strategy".
This was hardly a "strategy". At best it was a tactic, so poorly thought out and ineptly implemented as to assure its failure from the beginning. The architects of this clusterfumble are trying desperately to cover their tracks and find a scapegoat they can blame this on. Remember when the White House couldn't remember or find out who hired Craig Livingstone ? Good luck finding the fingerprints of anyone high enough up the food chain to be truly responsible for the "Fast and Furious Foul-up" on this In other news, the BATFE plans to let children play with matches as part of a "strategic" plan to watch children get hurt. Eric Holder could not be reached for comment.
