Fast and Furious: Eric Holder’s bizarre House Judiciary testimony

I believe that there is considerable extortion going on to prevent Congress from holding the DOJ accountable for this huge scandal. While most of the MSM may be willing accomplices, some may also be under threat.

I cannot prove this, of course, but this scandal is far worse than Watergate or Iran Contra. Reading the AP releases on is is like reading pages out of Orwell's 1984.

Gunwalker / Murdergate ping.

[Gaffer]

Watergate was about an after-the-fact coverup of a breakin whose purpose was ‘opposition research’.

F&F is about conspiracy, subversion and murder.

Which is worse in the scheme of things?

Holder is an unidicted criminal.

[Venturer]

Holder is protecting the President.

It’s just that simple.

[Condor51]

Rep. Issa has the patience of Job. I couldn't take Holder's BS and would have said ENOUGH Asshat! .. long ago. What I would have done yesterday during Holder's Lie Fest was call the House's Sergeant at Arms and said to him: "Put the witness in cuffs!"

What the hell, why not. If Barry and Holder want a Constitutional Crisis, bring it on.

“I have superior knowledge,” was Holder’s ultimate response.

Unbelievable! This smug, arrogant POS is no AG, he's an AH - enough of this nonsense, Issa! drag Holder out of chambers by his ear and lock him up in a small, dark room for 30 days.....then see what he has to say.

[Vision]

He’s a shameless two bit racist. Throw him out of office.

[Ann Archy]

Did that POS REALLY say “I have superior knowledge”? OMG!

[Jerrybob]

This guy -- Eric Holder -- gives slime a bad name; he was Janet Reno's deputy during the Clinton years.

All that is being accomplished in these committee hearings is that the committee is looking pretty weak and foolish.

I say LEAD THE SOB AWAY IN HANDCUFFS!!!! Show some spine, committee members -- if you have any.

[trebb]

“I have superior knowledge,” was Holder’s ultimate response.

I wonder if anyone had the presence of mind to ask just what this "superior knowledge" was and ask for documents to provide proof of it....I know; stupid question.

[rockvillem]

This guy -- Eric Holder -- gives slime a bad name; he was Janet Reno's deputy during the Clinton years.

And the guy who pushed the Marc Rich pardon in order to ingratiate himself with Dem power brokers and lied about his involvement. This guy has been lying his ass off for the last 15 years. He feels bullet proof because of affirmative action and because his boss came up through the same system, where skin color was all that mattered - not brains, not integrity, not honor, etc.

[Travis McGee]

Nobody died at Watergate, but the MSM went into a 24/7 full court press until Nixon resigned in disgrace, and the AG went to prison.

Where are the Woodwards and Bernsteins of today? Nowhere to be found. They are part of the coverup.

Welcome to the USSA, home of American Pravda, ABCNNBCBS, the WaPo, NYT, LAT etc.

[apocalypto]

Eve though Eric H. is a libability to B. Obama, Barack has kept this clown.

[MestaMachine]

"Superior knowledge."
Sounds like a confession of guilt to me.

[woodbutcher1963]

If Holder goes under the bus, he very well could take Obama down with him. However, this is just wishfull thinking.

[sam_paine]

An astonished Chaffetz said, “The email says Fast and Furious, you say it doesn’t. I’ve got it in black and white.”

“I have superior knowledge,” was Holder’s ultimate response.

Another missed opportunity. I don't think even Mark Levin would have been able to hit this one out of the park off the cuff, but in retrospect with time to think about it, there is a counter-dance move.

Couldawouldashoulda: "Mr. Holder, are you saying YOU know more than this committee about this matter?"

AH: "That's correct."

Couldawouldashoulda: "Then we must compel you to educate us on this matter. If you have more knowledge than we have, then it is your responsibility to bring us up to speed with the appropriate informative materials. Which of the subpoenaed documents that you have withheld from this committee contain this superior knowledge?"

[sam_paine]

If Holder goes under the bus, he very well could take Obama down with him. However, this is just wishfull thinking.

It's more likely the other way around.

Holder must help prop/protect the mob boss as Baracka is his final firebreak.

If Clinton keeps pulling the Jenga blocks out fromm under the admin, everything could collapse catastrophically...very...very...dangerous.

[Ann Archy]

BINGO!!!!!!!!

[Gaffer]

If anyone from the Obama administration should be indicted, tried and convicted/imprisoned, it is Holder and Napolitano.

[liberalh8ter]

I'm astonished (and suspicious) no one picked up on it. As soon as I read it, my blood pressure shot up!
