A "furious" Rep. Peter King, the hawkish, maverick Long Island Republican, blasted a "disgraceful" Eric Holder for opening an investigation of CIA interrogators and chided his own party for what he described as a weak response to the move in an interview just now with POLITICO.
"It’s bulls***. It’s disgraceful. You wonder which side they’re on," he said of the Attorney General's move, which he described as a "declaration of war against the CIA, and against common sense."
"It’s a total breach of faith, and either the president is intentionally caving to the left wing of his party or he’s lost control of his administration," said King, the ranking Republican on the House Committee on Homeland Security and a member of the House Select Committee on Intelligence.

I don’t wonder - I know. They are America’s domestic enemies.
0Bama the Oath Breaker.
The whole bunch of Rinos up there need to be sent home come next election!
Yep.
I like Peter King. He can be a bulldog. But there are scads of GOPers that really need to grow some balls. Of the conservative variety.
That is a conflict of interest that the Attorney General should investigate.

Surprise, surprise.
Continuing his tradition of “pall’n around with terrorists”, Obama proves Palin right.
Disgraceful. But, like many of his misteps, he is opening the eyes of the people in this country.
Generally, when a government goes out of control a lot of backs get stood against a wall, and then a thing called, ‘revolution’, begins.
I just called Congressman King’s office to say “Thank You!” for speaking the truth.
The number is 202-225-7896.
That was after I called my congressman and senators and told them that Holder has to be opposed in this non-sensical witchhunt.
You can be angry and stew, or take action. Call.
Quoting a FReeper during the campaign:
"Of course Obama loves his country, it’s just that Sarah Palin loves mine."
Peter King was making waves for a long time, touting himself up as a Senate candidate against Kristin Gillibrand for 2010. He seems to have backed away from that now, especially since he knows he'd get steamrolled by George Pataki if the two of them were in the primary. Any chance we could talk him into running for NY's other Senate seat, currently held by Chuck Schumer and also up for re-election in 2010? Why Pete you're such an articulate GOP leader, no doubt you'd defeat Schumer in a landslide. Run, Pete Run!! Heh heh heh.
Don’t have a KOW, man.
I don’t wonder a bit. The democrats are the enemy within and if allowed will destroy America for their own power. I would love to know how much $$ they get from our enemies to do this?
Frankly, the fact that not one in each house had the nads to ask the eligibility question tells me they are all worthless along with the 9 at SCOTUS.
I have no problem with that formula.
Steve King is in the top 1% of politicians, IMO. Along with Hunter, DeMint, Pence, Inhofe, etc.
Well, I wouldn’t want the CIA mad at me, I figure there are some good men still in power there somewhere who won’t take this sitting down or bending over for Zero and Holder.
Gosh, I miss Bush, but gee I miss Clinton
I have been very pleasantly surprised by Rep. Peter King. I remember when he was a RINO, but since Obama was elected, it seems he grew a pair.
