A group of Senate Republicans pressed Attorney General Eric H. Holder on Friday to explain the administration’s policy for U.S. fugitives in Cuba, including a convicted cop killer, following President Obama’s announced normalization of relations with the communist island nation.

“As the nation’s chief law enforcement officer, do you support the normalization of relations with Cuba without the return of fugitives from justice for prosecution who have the blood of Americans, including law enforcement officers on their hands?” said the three senators in a letter to Mr. Holder.

The letter was signed by Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida, Ted Cruz of Texas and David Vitter of Louisiana. Mr. Rubio and Mr. Cruz are Cuban Americans.

The senators demanded information about the number of U.S. criminals currently harbored by the Castro regime and the indictments against the fugitives, as well as Mr. Holder’s legal opinion on the plan to remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism.

They also demanded an explanation of Mr. Holder’s involvement in the decision to free three convicted Cuban spies, including one convicted of a murder conspiracy, from U.S. prison and transfer them to Cuba.

Eric the Red being held in contempt of congress didn't seem to bother him, I doubt this letter will either.

It's sad that we have a law breaker as our AG.

Can’t he go after Sharpton to pay his back taxes??

[jazusamo]

Sharpton’s probably already paid him off.

Holder will flip them off, laugh, and walk away and the Returds will just wet themselves.

If they don’t like it they can always kiss his azz

Why are do many conservative posters on this website act like quitters?

I see a lot of whining and complaining that nothing’s going to be done so we might as well give up.

[reasonisfaith]

Point is, that kind of talk plants the seed for others to just give up. After all, “nothing’s going to be done about it.”

If I didn’t know better, I’d swear all of you are on the democrat payroll.

[reasonisfaith]

Let’s have some demands for action. Not just on this thread but on all of them.

Quit the whining. What are you, a bunch of quitters? Act like men.

[jazusamo]

Enlighten all of us what you think Holder will do.

[QuisCustodiet1776]

Dude. I just joined a militia.

I don’t think the ‘quitter’ appellation quite fits.

[reasonisfaith]

Then stop being a crybaby.

[bkepley]

Nobody is saying we should quit. We’re making sarcastic jabs at the disgusting Eric Holder and the truth is that the separation of power does make it difficult to do anything but complain.

[reasonisfaith]

Read my posts again.

[reasonisfaith]

It’s exactly what the leftists would want you to do.

[reasonisfaith]

I see it again and again on this good site.

[reasonisfaith]

It’s about boosting morale, troops. Don’t let the behavior of the enemy get you down. Sarcastic pessimism only works against us.

[jazusamo]

You read mine again, that’s an honest question.

[reasonisfaith]

Alright I will.

What I like about the infantry is when you have a disagreement, you duke it out and it’s all settled.

But we still know who our enemy is, right?
