Attorney General Eric Holder told senators on Wednesday that he did not respect the House members who voted to hold him in contempt for not cooperating in the Fast and Furious investigation, and that “the president, the White House was not involved in the operational component of Fast and Furious.” Fast and Furious was the Justice Department’s gun-running operation that allowed about 2,000 guns to flow into Mexico under federal supervision before authorities lost control of the guns. The operation began in the fall of 2009 and was

Damn fine point! Bump that thought.
The WH had no role? It must have been run by the senior center’s quilting club ladies.
Do you need to ask?
Well, it appears that Jesse Jackson Jr. may finally be going to prison ... after winning another election by a huge landslide. This time he had actually spent time in a mental institution and didn't even attend one campaign event, but he still won in a landslide. The Democrats, particularly blacks, will keep voting for them until they're actually in prison.
“Funny he is claiming no White House involvement; their use of Executive Privilege says otherwise.”
GOOD point, Tammy8!
In April of 2009, Atty. Gen. Eric Holder was in Mexico bragging about how much taxpayer money he’s going to spend on Project Gun Runner! Just last week he acted like he had never heard of it!
Holder: “Last week, our administration launched a major new effort to break the backs of the cartels. My department is committing 100 new ATF personnel to the Southwest border in the next 100 days to supplement our ongoing Project Gunrunner, DEA is adding 16 new positions on the border, as well as mobile enforcement teams, and the FBI is creating a new intelligence group focusing on kidnapping and extortion. DHS is making similar commitments, as Secretary Napolitano will detail.”

Do you have to respect the Congress to obey the law? How exactly does one defy a Congressional subpena for 2 0r 3 years, and then complain about 'unfair' treatment? He's still just blowing smoke - he has no intention to comply. Ever.
JJJ (Jesse Jackson Jr) might be “the exception that proves the rule.” He wasn’t that important, and a lot of race-whore politicians are still riding very, very high.
Yes she is the female reporter that was called such vile names. So much for Democrats being the party supporting rights of women, what a joke that is.
Why can’t we talk to those witnesses then?
1. He is the chief law enforcement officer. Therefore it "happened on his watch" and he is responsible. If he was involved, that's bad. If he wasn't involved, that's bad too.
2. In any case he and Holder both appear to be involved in the cover up. And that's another bad.
Whaddaya mean "until."
It will not be the least bit surprising if he's reelected by an even larger margin while he's actually locked up in the penitentiary.
All he has to do is claim to be Nelson Mandela. I wouldn't be surprised if the real Mandela actually campaigns for him.
How can they have it both ways? They need to be nailed for this.

Very good point! No one believed Holder and Obama were personally handing out firearms. We have to watch their wording on every single thing...
Thanks for that info. Yes there is a long list of things this Administration needs to answer for.
...and remember crack addict mayor barry “the bitch set me up” of WDC. A group of supporters went up to prison when he was released and brought him triumphantly back to WDC where he has since been reelected several times to a coucilman-at-large position.

“.....in the operational component...”
Notice that it’s a qualified denial.
Authorizing and being kept advised as to the progress of this scam, as well as hiding the truth, likely doesn’t fit within his definition of “operational component”.
I think the case about executive privilege is still pending in the courts though I could be wrong.
