Eric Holder explodes at GOP rep: ‘You don’t want to go there, buddy!’ [VIDEO]
Daily Caller ^ | 04/08/2014 | Caroline May

Attorney General Eric Holder exploded at Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert during a House hearing Tuesday.

In the midst of questions about the Justice Department’s failure to divulge documents about the Holy Land Foundation terror funding trial, Gohmert made a side comment about how the House of Representatives found Holder in contempt in 2012 for refusing to turn over documents related to the Fast and Furious gun-running scandal.

“I realize that contempt is not a big deal to our attorney general, but it is important that we have proper oversight,” Gohmert said.

“You don’t want to go there, buddy! You don’t want to go there, okay,” Holder shot back.

“I don’t want to go there?” the Texas Republican responded.

“No,” Holder said, leaning forward in his seat.

“About the contempt?” Gohmert asked.

“You should not assume that that is not a big deal to me. I think that it was inappropriate, I think it was unjust. But never think that that was not a big deal to me. Don’t ever think that,” Holder said pointing at Gohmert.

Congress has no police capability; however, it has the purse strings to eviscerate any other branch of government that opposes it. If only it had the will.

My sound card is shot, but I HAD to at least see and I'll tell y'what I saw ...

I saw a TKO by Louis Gohmert !

Holder looks down, out from under his eyebrows, almost smirking ... Louie stands head tall, square and never changes his demeanor.

Can't wait to get my sound fixed, but what I saw was GREAT !

I have a question.

Can a President pardon someone for crimes that are undiscovered and not yet prosecuted?

Because if not, Holder better flee the country soon.

Eric Holder, your time is short. Soon you will be a mere stain on the American landscape.

If full justice were done, he'd be staining a rope as well.

Eric is scared. He must know what’s coming.

Way to go Louie! Get under their skin. The mask will be drop, and people will see the lying demon lurking there.

When they hold someone in contempt and the person continues to be defiant, what can Congress do?

Strong words.

If he hadn’t been sitting down he’d have pocked that nasty finger right in Louie Gohmert’s chest. It was clear that LG touched a nerve.

Agree. When Holder wasn’t held in contempt for perjury at that moment, and not subsequently held responsible, the message to the administration was clear, . . . pigmentation immunity is real.

Consider this response from AG Holder as an example of "the best defense [of your misdeeds] is a good offense" strategy ...

It was also used successfully by Holder's boss in a debate confrontation with Romney ...

Knowing what we know now about the Benghazi lies, compared to how raw it still was then in 2012, makes this even more sickening.

This is a liberal ploy. Get caught in your lie? Express outrage and lie even more.

“I realize that contempt is not a big deal to our attorney general, but it is important that we have proper oversight,” Gohmert said.

“You don’t want to go there, buddy! You don’t want to go there, okay,” Holder shot back.

“I don’t want to go there?” the Texas Republican responded.

Should have responded:

"Oh, I went there. I went there so far that I will need to call Delta to come back. I went there and I set up camp. Veni, Vici, Bitchi: 'I came, I saw, I went there.'"

Good for Congressman Gohmert, he touched a nerve of this sorry excuse for an AG, Holder.

No Segue between the contempt accusation and the same sex marriage question. I was like WTfracking did that come from.

The Congressman could have really opened up on Holder and I’m somewhat disappointed he didn’t.

Or was Holder’s response designed to illicit an angry reaction and the Congressman avoided it?

Impeach Holder already. It’s clear he’s not going to uphold the law nevertheless provide the oversight committee with requested materials.
