No doubt upon the legal advice of Eric Holder (that icon of Gunrunners into Mexico (attempting to subvert info on guns in the hands of cartels and Mexican criminals as the fault of our Freedom to bear arms), protection of New Black Panther thuggery, etc.):

Holder should be brought up on numerous charges of violating all sorts of laws. Oh, I guess you can’t do that to the AG of the USA, can you?

I hope McConnell was talking about Obama, Holder and Napolitano.
