Cummings seeks dismissal of Fast and Furious suit against Holder
Examiner ^ | 12/26/12 | David Codrea

Posted on 12/26/2012 6:30:56 PM PST by Nachum

A little-noticed brief filed last Thursday by House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Ranking Member Elijah Cummings and fellow Democrats John Conyers, Jr., Henry A. Waxman, Edolphus Towns and Louise M. Slaughter, asks the United States District Court for the District of Columbia to dismiss without prejudice the civil complaint by the Oversight Committee against Eric Holder following the Attorney General being found in contempt of Congress for refusing to produce subpoenaed documents related to the Fast and Furious gunwalking investigation.

Characterizing the committee’s actions as a “rush toward unnecessary conflict” and referring to such litigation as “unnecessary and premature,” the petitioners ignore official stonewalling now measured in years, documented lies submitted to congressional investigators, and the deliberate indifference shown by Cummings and other Oversight Democrats when publicly asked to look into allegations of waste, abuse, corruption and fraud by Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives management long before the public had ever heard about Fast and Furious. Had they provided such high-profile scrutiny, there is every possibility gunwalking attempts would not have been dared, and those killed as a result might still be alive.

This is a bunch of black solidarity racists including veteran communist sympathizer John Conyers (along with Towns), a white liberal Waxman who is certifiably insane (and in love with himself), all who will protect corrupt black government figures at all costs.

Given Holder’s record of betraying the principles of our country (pardons, Rich, reduced prosecutions, coverups of Fast & Furious), if a white AG had done this (i.e. Watergate for example), he would have been driven out of town.

In this case, the black racists have circled the wagon to protect someone who should be in jail, not in DOJ.

Thinking blacks are ashamed of these political clowns, while thinking whites are ashamed of Waxman and his clones, Pelosi, Reid,Boxer, Debbie Wasserman-Schulz, Schumer, Durbin, Mikulski, Franken, and Alan Grayson (Mr. Psycho of the Year).

Our country is in great trouble and these are the people who got elected to direct us. God help us because the American voter won’t, anymore.

He is a scumbag...he’s the one who said white Tea Party members spat on him and there was no video evidence to back up his racist claim.
