Holder to Issa: Your conduct as a member of Congress is really pretty shameful, you know

Well, this is rich. The guy who happens to be in contempt of Congress for unresolved questions and stonewalling over a deadly gunwalking scandal, and whose department is currently under investigation for tapping into a wide swath of AP journalists’ phone records — and who conveniently just can’t seem to remember when it was the he recused himself from what he acknowledges is that very serious case — has zero reservations about dishing out scoldings for other people’s ostensibly unacceptable behavior. Via ABC:

Issa should have pounded on the table and said, “and you, sir, are a disgrace to the legal profession and especially one to the office of Attorney General of the United States of American”.

[atc23]

Well, you’re better than me. If Eric Holder said that to me, 24 hours later he would have been fishing his teeth out of the toilet bowl

Their rude interrupting behavior is an indicator of how desperate and scared they are. The more afraid they are, the more likely they will blurt something out. The more likely they are to go off script. The more likely they are to turn on each other. Someone will crack. How many of them are going to willingly crawl under the bus? Some will, but not all.

OK....SJL is ....unpleasant....and said something about a flag on Mars.

The collective IQ of every racist House member on camera today did not exceed 12.

How dare Issa question Holder!

It’s downright racist!

[generally]

I’m hoping this is an indicator that Issa knows he’s right and Holder is going down. Holder is interrupting because he’s panicked.

I listened to coverage of this exchange on NPR tonight. Interesting. They explained why Holder interrupted. They never explained what Issa was saying. No bias there. /s But at least they are covering it.

Some will jump ship, but people like SJL will hang on for dear life. Jackson Lee is a racist. I never see her demand respect for a white man.

They are panicked and you are right, someone is going to mess up. They have no patience. In obama’s oresser with Cameron he unwittingly gave us a timeline to work with and that was a gift that will keep on giving.

[Truth2012]

I was pleased to see Shelia’s panic. I really don’t care for her.

Holy Cow....this is BIG!

[Political Junkie Too]

There is that "shame" word again. It must be their new theme.

......Claim you or anybody else cant answer any questions...because your doing an “ongoing investigation”....

Janet Reno pulled out that phrase like a six-shooter to every question

[Rennes Templar]

I would have said, “With all due respect Mr General, this hearing is about your behavior, not mine”.

[faithhopecharity]

Gee, that’s not smart... to publicly insult a Congresscritter, and one that is investigating you, too.

(Does Holdre have a PhuqueThePigs bumper sticker on his car, too?)

RE: "Holy Cow....this is BIG!"
I believe it might have the dimensions as things develop to even be a Holy Smokes. :)

Seriously. The word impeachment looms in the minds of more on both sides of Congress. Reid and Pelosi had better watch their ass. Their own may turn on them if things continue on current glide path.
Many slime balls will put electability ahead of their allegiance to the British subject once things get out of hand for them.

“Holy Cow....this is BIG!”

Is Sheila Jackson Lee clergy?

When is somebody going to stand up to this liar and tell him to shut up and listen. The Republicans run from him.

[VRWCarea51]

Issa knows what he is doing. That is why he challenged holder’s lies then let him throw a tantrum. Issa has the documents that compromise both Holder and the White Hut.
He needs to get them from the source.

When the court forces the release either Holder will resign claiming political witch hunt or the Nero bus will run him over by claiming they didn’t know anything about it and relied on Holder’s recommended station to claim E.P and firing his butt

[SaraJohnson]

And Issa was a beast today. That man doesn’t put up with any bs!

Wow! What did he do?
