Eric Holder explodes at GOP rep: ‘You don’t want to go there, buddy!’ [VIDEO]

Attorney General Eric Holder exploded at Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert during a House hearing Tuesday.

In the midst of questions about the Justice Department’s failure to divulge documents about the Holy Land Foundation terror funding trial, Gohmert made a side comment about how the House of Representatives found Holder in contempt in 2012 for refusing to turn over documents related to the Fast and Furious gun-running scandal.

“I realize that contempt is not a big deal to our attorney general, but it is important that we have proper oversight,” Gohmert said.

“You don’t want to go there, buddy! You don’t want to go there, okay,” Holder shot back.

“I don’t want to go there?” the Texas Republican responded.

“No,” Holder said, leaning forward in his seat.

“About the contempt?” Gohmert asked.

“You should not assume that that is not a big deal to me. I think that it was inappropriate, I think it was unjust. But never think that that was not a big deal to me. Don’t ever think that,” Holder said pointing at Gohmert.

Eric Holder, your time is short. Soon you will be a mere stain on the American landscape.

What is it with Holder, Obama, and the rest of the bozos there. Make one comment that goes against them in any way and they explode. Gees, you’d think they were Muslim.

My question is this — Exactly what punitive power does Congress have?

When they hold someone in contempt and the person continues to be defiant, what can Congress do?

Who cares weather Holder considers it
unjust and unqualified, his feelings matter to me not
at all, why isn’t he being held in contemp?

Holder should already be in prison for perjury. Why is he still AG?

The Devil dislikes being mocked.

His servants (whether they know they are his servants or not) share similar character traits.

It’s not a big deal. He was held in contempt and there were exactly zero repercussions.

“You don’t want to go there”

I do audits where I work and hear that kind of thing on occasion, it usually means there something that needs to be discovered.

Gohmert is close to something, hope he has security.
