Rep. King: Holder, Vilsack Knew Pigford Claims Fraudulent
Breitbart ^ | 5/2/13 | Tony Lee

Posted on 05/02/2013 12:24:26 PM PDT by Nachum

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) accused U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack of knowing that women and minority farmers fraudulently claimed discrimination to receive taxpayer-funded settlements, and they knowingly initiated more programs to facilitate more of these payments.

"It is my sense they know what they are doing," King said on "Breitbart News Sunday" on Sirius XM Patriot channel 125. "That's a heavy statement, but they knew what they were doing. They knew these were fraudulent claims."

King said as he "watched the actions of the USDA" under Agriculture Secretary Vilsack and the Justice Department under Attorney General Eric Holder, both of whom he has questioned as a member of the Agriculture and Judiciary Committees, he determined that Vilsack and Holder were not only "facilitating what was already there" regarding Pigford when they arrived.

And this is why Steve King deserves an upgrade to a senate seat. He doesn’t let this crap fly without speaking up.

Sounds to me like two people joined a criminal conspiracy by becoming principals after the fact. Get a rope.

Holder is above the law. Representative King should realize that.

..they also know that giving a tax refund to someone working on a green card for $25,000 because of 16 nieces and nephews is shady, but they still keep doing it

The administration is only carrying out their campaign promise: Redistribution of wealth.

Indeed, “the WON” has been downright diligent on keeping campaign promises.

“...I will stand with the Muslims.”

Anyone who didn't work their tail off to keep this usurper out of the WH has no right to complain.

Anyone who's not working their tail off to get these people OUT, is NOT a patriot.

Look to the lawyers. You can bet there are plenty of Dem lawyers and/or buddies of Holder and Obama who took a big chunk of this money on the way to the fraudulent recipients. Same thing has happened whenever there is a sexual abuse scandal aimed at a reform school or religious school (we’ve had a number of these in Canada). For every legitimate claim there are 5 bogus claims and we’re told that you’d be “punishing the victims all over again” if you doubted their authenticity. Liberal scams are all based on hucksters taking advantage of something that was well intentioned but poorly thought out and administered.

WITHHOLDER was suing Banks for taking advantage of minorities who were buying homes. WITHHOLDER should now sue himself for committing a fraud far greater than that. What’s with minorities anyway. According to the how the socialist democrats portray them, I don’t think they can walk and chew gum at the same time.
