My Congressman obviously came armed and ready to take on Holder..........Update at 10:25am EST: Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) asks Holder if he thinks the ‘buck stops with you.’ Holder basically accepted responsibility without accepting accountability. He also referred to the February 4th letter that DOJ ultimately withdrew. Called for Deputy Attorney General Lanny Breuer to be fired. Sensenbrenner is asserting that someone at the DOJ ‘lied’ and that ‘heads should roll.’ Holder says no one at the Justice Department ‘lied’ (that’s a lie).
Update at 10:29am EST: Wow. Sensenbrenner is threatening impeachment. In response, Holder whips out the tired ‘Inspector General’ argument.
Nice link. Thanks. Gonna be entertaining.
The word “impeachment” was used in earnest.
Thanks ~ This is perfect for those of us who dont have cable or high speed connection ~
Steve Cohen D-Tenn. issued leading question to Holder essentially saying there are so many guns in Mexico already that Agent Terry might have been killed anyway.
Sickening gutter trash. I want to vomit.
"Update at 1:15pm EST: Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX) focuses on the hundreds of Mexican nationals that were killed as a result of this operation. Says willing suspension of disbelief is needed to accept Holder's claim that he didn't know about Fast and Furious...
Random thought as I ignore the ponderous musings of Judy Chu... Isn't it noteworthy that none of these Democrats seem to be overly concerned abou a black Attorney General's culpability in the deaths of hundreds of Mexican nationals? Interesting way for Democrats to court the hispanic vote."
Great observation.
