Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin had a little more luck. Stating that he wanted to “pin down” who authorized the subpoenas that yielded the AP records. Was it deputy attorney general James Cole, Sensenbrenner asked? After repeating that he couldn’t be sure due to his recusal, Holder confirmed that it was — but only after receiving a note from his staff. (Multiple members subsequently suggested Cole should testify, though Holder noted that he probably couldn’t respond.) Sensenbrenner continued: Why were you recused? “I was interviewed as one of the people who had access to the info,” Holder replied — in other words, he was a potential suspect in the leak. Sensenbrenner, frustrated at not getting a response, suggested Holder go to the Truman Museum and “take a picture of the thing on his desk that said ‘the buck stops here.’”

You can look at it as lying, covering up, but also these guys are incompetent. Lazy. Entitled. They just make up crap as they go along.
Holder is just another in the long line of Democrats who try to recreate the indignation of Joseph N. Welch telling Senator McCarthy “Have you no sense of decency, sir...” when McCarthy was pressing for an answer from a young lawyer on a fact Welch himself had confirmed in a New York Times article weeks before. As then, the media loved the “righteous indignation” in response to an attempt to get the truth out - whether or not it embarrasses the current Democrat or communist (sorry if I repeat myself) being questioned.
I cannot believe Issa didn’t take him apart in that, what a wuss.
