Have they no shame? Just days before it was announced that documents regarding the Fast and Furious gunrunning scandal were to be released after being hidden for six years under executive privilege, there was former Obama attorney general Eric Holder responding to a question on Bill Maher's show:
"Did you protect President Obama?" Maher asked Holder on Friday.
The former attorney general drew applause from the studio audience when he quipped: "The difference between me and Jeff Sessions is, I had a president I did not have to protect."
Holder had used nearly the same line in an interview with The Washington Post last month. Maher didn't challenge him to defend it, but some critics have accused Holder of protecting Obama for years.
In 2012, Holder became the first sitting attorney general to be held in contempt of Congress – in a 255-to-67 vote – for refusing to turn over documents related to a botched gun-running investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Holder did have a president to protect, as well as himself, partners in a criminal scheme to run guns into Mexico and into the hands of Mexican drug lords, guns that led to the deaths of border agents Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata. He was protecting a president who recently made his own self-serving and false claim:

How queer that Fakebook still is not “trending” this devastating news.
If you search Eric Holder, you see years old articles.
If you search Fast Furious, you see movie news.
However, if you search Fast Furious DOJ, boom there it is in articles posted on Fakebook.
Such deceit.
What is the penalty for “Contempt of Congress”
Apparently nothing.
Which of course the fake news media ignores.
Its Trump who’s suspected of being illegitimately elected.
Whether Obama and Holder actually broke the law is yesterday’s news.
It’s going to be interesting if the media really stays committed to Fantasyland.
I’m picturing Trump putting out documents, recordings, video, bank records, and courtroom testimony which all demonstrates the deep corruption of the Obama administration.
And if the media just says, “Nothing there. Not even gonna report it. Because Obama is totally scandal-free.”
I don’t know what happens next. But I would think the FCC might be justified in shutting down news outlets which tell lies for a living.
Apparently nothing."<>
Probably for the best or most FReepers would be in serious trouble!< /SARC>
I remember when he said this in 2013: “I’m still the President’s wing-man, so I’m there with my boy.” What did mean by that? The wingman protects the lead by watching his back.
When caught, they said they planned on “tracing the guns,” after they facilitated (often initiated) their illegal transfers into Mexico. And how exactly were they going to do that? Tracking bugs? Nope.
Their giant lies will finally be exposed. Holder needs to be charged with murder. No statute of limitations.
Holder did not have to protect the Kenyanesian Usurper because BOTH parties colluded to violate the Constitution.
Obama has used their culpability in his crimes as his shield.
At the time Fast and Furious was in the news, I asked my hard core Leftist brother, who lives in Oregon, if he had heard of Fast and Furious. He said ‘you mean the movie?’. It simply wasn’t reported in Leftist areas. I tried to tell him what was happening and he didn’t want to hear it. There was a hard core Leftist in the WH and my hippie brother wouldn’t listen to anything that might sully his pResident.
That’s for sure
....so many Obama idiots I want to see on TV walking in orange jumpsuits....to prison.
Rule of law, check$ and balance$. Culprits of the most corrupt administration in the history of the republic ALERT!
I have an idea; let’s “rigorously interrogate” Holder until he sings.
