(Reuters) - The Obama administration on Monday pushed backed against Republican accusations that Attorney General Eric Holder lied during a congressional appearance last month about his involvement in leak investigations that involved reporters.
Republican lawmakers have called Holder's credibility into question by alleging that he failed to tell the truth in testimony to the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee about the Justice Department's secret seizures of journalist records.
Holder told the committee on May 15 that he was not involved in the potential prosecution of a reporter under the 1917 Espionage Act. Reports later surfaced that he had signed off on a search warrant and a subpoena for the records of Fox News reporter James Rosen.

I’m saying he’ll be out by the 8th. Actually out Friday night with the news breaking Saturday.
Well, we weren't going to prosecute him, we just wanted info.
And if you weren't going to prosecute, why was he considered a flight risk??
They lie so profusely, they don't even know when they're lying.
P.S. Watergate was a hangnail. This is a stroke during triple by pass surgery....and there's a power outage in the operating room....and the generator won't fire up.
Au revoir Mr. Holder
Holder can’t even respond to the House GOP in writing, he has a subordinate do it. He’s gone this weekend.
Obama wouldn’t recognize a lie even if Bill Clinton explained it to him.
Alternate reality
“Define lie”
I think it’s important to remember that cornered rats are very dangerous. The WH is no doubt in full double secret probation damage control mode now, and plouffe’s childish tweet about Issa on another thread is evidence. The bam is said to be a “community organizer” which is code for agent provacateur and political agitator. It’s only Monday, so it’s going to be a long week. Expect them to throw everything in their arsenal to see what sticks.
Memo to Barry: Uh we all kind of heard him lie on TV.
Anyone working in our criminal gov’t, let alone 0bama should be ashamed of themselves. Our Forefathers would’ve eradicated these cockroaches years ago (my apologies to cockroaches).
It’s always the Obama Administration and never Obama.
When it was the Bush Administration it was always just Bush.
It’s more difficult to target a whole administration.
“It’s more difficult to target a whole administration.”
...yet surprisingly easy to target half of American voters.
So DOJ can get a search warrant for people they have no intention of prosecuting? Who can’t they get a warrant on then? Wow... Down is up.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Reuters doesn’t say that democrats are concerned too. It’s always the mean old GOP.
I willing to bet good money Holder will never resign...or forced out...
He's the top cop in the Obama criminal enterprise...
He provides cover for Obama and the ability to move against their enemies...real or perceived
The only way Holder is leaving is the "Ron Brown" exit...
“Wanna buy a bridge?”
$5 bucks he is gone within 7 days.
