“There will be no Fifth Amendment Theater tomorrow of the Phoenix US Attorneys being forced to say their ‘I-don't-wannas’ in front of the cameras,” Mike Vanderboegh of Sipsey Street Irregulars files in an exclusive report today from Washington, DC.
There will be only one panel of one -- Eric Holder. This is viewed by many who have been following the investigation as a serious mistake. Said one, "More simple browbeating of Eric Eric Holder without dramatic new evidence to impeach his story is going to look petty, mean and impotent.
Perhaps. After all, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa has pledged “We are still going to bring him forward” in response to Chief of the Criminal Division in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Arizona Patrick Cunningham’s decision to invoke his right not to self-incriminate after being subpoenaed to testify. And Issa has further demanded Justice stop blocking testimony from Cunningham underling Michael Morrissey. Advertisement
Compound this with a return shot from Committee Democrats attempting to absolve their administration allies, an outraged response from Sen. Chuck Grassley of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and yesterday’s stunning, knives-are-out ultimatum by Issa to charge stonewalling Attorney General Eric Holder with contempt of Congress, and it would appear an opportunity to show the American people an ongoing cover-up happening before their eyes may be lost.
And perhaps not. Again, per Vanderboegh:

With that being said I think my Wager on Eric Holder Never Being Held Accountable under the LAW will have to be at least $500 if Ceaser’s will give me 3 to 1 odds or Better. Anybody Else??
Yes, what I am hearing is they are saying Eric is not to be blamed but the ATF is?
Holder is now being sworn in.
Disavows guns walking. Learned early last year “I TOOK ACTION” Double HAH! HAH!
Present and accounted for, with popcorn popped and watching streaming video at Foxnews.
Thanks for starting this thread...I have been waiting in EAGER anticipation for this one...Have to run dog to vet in about an hour.
I counted 7 proveable lies in this openin by Holder
Yeah and holder is pretty much saying “I want to make sure that this never happens again”. I don’t see much grilling going on....let’s wait and see.
So what? Nothing is gonna come of this. It is ONLY theater. I'm just watching in order to kill time until the weather clears up so I can do some outdoor work.
Stonewall....Holder is using Executive Privelege to hide communications and responsibility, and is Blaming Bush.
NOW the separation of powers means something. But not when his boss tells Congress he will do it [whatever the ‘it’ of the day is] without them.
Misguided and inappropriate are the buzz words of the day.
