Really?
You don't know?
The first openly criminal National Executive Department in history?
To add insult to injury, constantly daring us all to "do something" about it!
But if he hasn't been convicted yet of anything...
S-A-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y!
I don't think that even the magic negro's magic pen can issue an open "Future Pardon."
They only showed it because they think it makes Eric the Red look assertive.
Pantywaist biotches are like that.
I could imagine him putting his hands on his hips and flouncing out of the room, feeling that his last strange little remark was some kind of ultimate catty put-down. Frightening thought that he’s the AG.
More importantly, how can this low-life get impeached from the office of AG?
The guy has got no moral asparagus at all.
“Outtacontrol” does not begin to describe this outburst. Eric Holder is in the wrong, he knows it, and he is saying, “So whatcha gonna do about it?”
Cuffing Nazi. Does anybody remember what happened to John Newton Mitchell? And Mitchell was FAR more circumspect.
First blackism.
Sadly, the presidential pardon authority is such that in past, even after a president leaves office, congress has behaved like he created “pocket pardons” for everyone in his administration, for any crimes they committed during his presidency.
Though this is a loathsome practice, Republicans figure that if they start prosecuting all the former Democrat cabinet officers who committed heinous crimes, when next the Democrats are in office, they will prosecute all sorts of Republican apparatchiks, for any or no reason, just to get even.
It is one of the few remaining “niceties” that the Republicans and the Democrats still keep. Mutually Assured Pardons.
However, conservatives could definitely rock this boat if they get control over the Republican party, the end result being a lot of Democrats going to the big house. Just another reason that both the Democrats and GOP-e are terrified of them.
You have to admit that seeing people like Holder, Sebelius, James E. Hansen, et al., wearing prison jumpsuits, would have a cathartic effect on society.
In trying to get a chance to respond to Holder’s comments, a flustered Gohmert shot back, “[Do not] cast aspersions on my asparagus.”
I heard Gohmert on a satellite radio show last night. He said the phrase goes back to a famous prosecutor he admires. The guy would say it when the tension in the courtroom was too high and he needed people to relax a little. Gohmert said he used it many times while a judge or attorney. He said Holder thought it was a gaffe and was using it to embarrass and call attention to Gohmert's earlier mistake when it wasn't a mistake at all.
Hard to believe somebody would say something that dopey in court. Makes Gohmert look like a Gomer.
I was a juror at a child molesting trial last month. At least once or twice a day the judge or one of the attorneys would say something to break the tension and it certainly did help. I could believe they all have their catch phrases they fall back on.
I despise Holder, but knowing the context, that’s pretty funny.
It’d be funnier if Holder choked on some aspargus at lunch.
I think Rep Gohmert is the best (not just for this exchange, but I’ve heard him on other hearings, on the House floor and on TV interviews). He has my utmost respect. I’d love to see him as the next Speaker of the House.
I don’t recall the issue, but I called his office last year and said that I thought he was great, please tell him that I support him from far away, and to vote X on the issue.
Speaker Johnny Boner would never approved that.
Ditto!
Listen closely.
