Eric Holder debates definition of ‘lying’ with congressman
The Daily Caller ^ | December 08, 2011 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 12/08/2011 10:23:31 PM PST by george76

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.

The Department of Justice is in good hands ...
Their boss parses the definition of 'lying', and defends liars... Wonderful.

You nailed it!

In my opinion, this gun running effort to create an excuse for my gun regulations reaches right to Obama himself. If it can be proven, it will be sufficient to bring impeachment charges against the President.

I think Holder needs to do some time in a federal prison for perjury. Wasn't one of GWB’s people convicted of perjury?

Democrats never lie. They only make purposeful misstatements.

They all need to go the way of ‘Blaggo’ Yes I know he was the token bad guy, but so many more need to go to jail, for more reasons than I can count! Most everyone in the Democrat party, and some Republicans.

Agree.

By the last session, after listening to hours of Holder's evasions and dissembling, Republicans Darrel Issa (CA-49), Trey Gowdy (SC-4), and Sandy Adams(FL-24) were clearly livid. I don't know anything about Gowdy, but I think he wanted to drag Holder out and kick the cr@p out of him.

Holder was so bad, the worst rats in Congress, (Sheila Jackson Lee and Maxine Waters) couldn't come up with any sort of defense.

Gop need to grow a set of go nads and really challenge Holder and obammy on fast and furious or forever be called gutless patsies.

Direct from the LibLeadership...a new example of moral relativism:
“Holder responded that whether a statement is a lie or misleading comment depends on what the person making it is thinking at the time.”

Ignorant beyond belief. I fear for the nation.
