Wisconsin Republican Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner and Attorney General Eric Holder had a sharp back-and-forth on whether or not officials in the Department of Justice lied to Congress. The questioning was during Thursday morning’s House Judiciary Committee hearing on Operation Fast and Furious.
...
Sensenbrenner followed up again. “Tell me what the difference is between lying and misleading Congress in this context?,” he asked Holder.
Holder responded that whether a statement is a lie or misleading comment depends on what the person making it is thinking at the time.

Defining the word ... is ...lying ?
Impeach Holder. He needs to go.
Yet another definition of “is”...from a clintonista who should know.
I think he’ll be gone before January.
When a defendent has to resort to trying to define specific words as not meaning what they mean or whatever, you know you have him dead-to-rights, because he’s not making the case that your evidence isn’t valid.
Two politicians debating on what “lying” means.
Stalin and Mao debating on what “evil” means.
According to Holder all our politicians and bureaucrats before voting/acting should be/need be vetted by a shrink so that the public can have all the scoop. Imagine what would come forth from Obama.
Too bad there are no longer any newscasters who might mention or compare Holder’s lies to Ron Ziegler’s infamous statement, “That statement is no longer operative.” Nahhh, never happen.
It’s funny, now lying means something completely different than when Bush talked about yellowcake.
Kinda like, that depends on what the meaning of 'is' is.
Very.
Now, if the media was only half-assed interested in the truth of the situation or sense of the situation, he would have been gone three months ago.
Stalin and Mao debating on what “evil” means.
Actually, no.
Sensenbrenner, one of the House Managers in Clinton's impeachment proceedings and a stand-up conservative with an ACU rating in the high 90s is not to be lumped into the same category as the asshat partisan liar and Obama apologist Eric Holder.
I hope that helps.
You took the words right out of my mouth (only said better).
That’s an interesting admission that he was in fact lying, since he knew that he was not being forthright with Issa from the very beginning.
time for this unprincipled liar to go.
I wish, but I doubt it.
Unless someone does a Vince Foster on him.
Kinda' like dim-0-crats Barney Frank and Zoe Lofgren on " ... high crimes and misdemeanors ..." during Bubba's impeachment hearings.
that works too. :).
Holder needs jail time. These pussy Republicans calling for his resignation need to re-evaluate their conservativism.
