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

For openers. I would not be at all surprised to learn that Holder, et al have the name, address and phone number of Boner’s mistress. Even better than that....what better way to completely compromise Boner than for Nancy Pluggugli to take him to bed one time?!

If the thought of that repulses you.....remember this: We already have photos of Boner all puckered up and KISSING the old heifer. And while it would be considered a high crime by the Mainslimes for BONER to go to bed with HER; Old Nan would be heralded as a heroine on the order of Joan of Arc, because she “took one” for the team.....and totally disempowered Boner.

There’s got to be some VERY POTENT “something” lurking in the shadows for Boner to go out of his way to IMPEDE Issa like he’s been doing.

I have been suspicious of ol’ Johnny Boy from day one because he dresses like a Don Juan ladies’ man, and that giggolo perpetual tanning bed tan is not normal for a down-to-earth regular guy.

THE TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION!!

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

Holder's arrogance cannot possibly surprise anyone at this point.

The fact that not one of Holder's questioners didn't jump all over this statement in a NY second is proof positive that there isn't a complete pair in the whole lot of them.

Pathetic.

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

I've been in many meetings (and dates, lol) where I walked away and thought "Damn, I should've said..."

Too many for me to sit back and criticize these guys from my armchair. It's certainly something they can fire a letter off on now, though. (Which will be criticized from the freeperchairs as "just another strongly worded...")

[liberalh8ter]

I can understand your point but I'd also bet on those occasions you were somewhat blindsided. The committee knew what they were dealing with and they knew he lied; they had proof in hand and they had him in a corner. That said, he burped out the equivalent of, “I know you are but what am I?” and they let it go. Instead, it should have been the last straw and this morning, that comment should have earned him a contempt charge.

[Starstruck]

Holder claimed that high officials in his department don’t review wiretap applications before signing them...

I work in the Engineering field. One thing that is pounded into the heads of the low level Tech to the Senior Engineer is that your signature is worth something. When you sign off on a document you have reviewed and agree with the contents. If there are additional documents referenced on the document you are signing you must review them also.

Do you think these Lawyers in the Justice Department who alledgedly didn't know what they were signing off on, would allow that to be a defense if a building collasped and people were killed?

This defense of the DOJ officials by Holder indicates he is either a perjurer (I didn't use the word liar)or totally unqualified to lead the department that is supposed to represent Law.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Breaking news: Holder is still a lying criminal.

Ditto. I've been there.
Holder's 'answer' doesn't pass the laugh test.

[Verginius Rufus]

I had not been aware of the allegations about Boehner having a mistress--or two--but they seem to have been circulating for more than a year. That could explain his timidity on Fast & Furious.

I guess that means he won't make the short list for VP.

[M Kehoe]

Bttt.

Which is different from a strongly worded letter in this climate how exactly?

[liberalh8ter]

A strongly worded letter is just that. A contempt charge can result in being locked up and earning the right to have your name added to a short list of contempt recipients. Not that Holder has much integrity but I doubt he wants that as his legacy.

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.

Errrr, uh, Mr. Holder. Did you not testify under oath before this very committee, some months ago, that you had not read any of these e-mails and knew nothing about any operations "walking" guns?

Mr. Holder. Were you born in Kenya too? Was that before you were born in Hawaii and after you were born in Jamaica?

[marktwain]

Not only does Eric Hold know nothing, he knows everything about nothing.
