“There will be no Fifth Amendment Theater tomorrow of the Phoenix US Attorneys being forced to say their ‘I-don't-wannas’ in front of the cameras,” Mike Vanderboegh of Sipsey Street Irregulars files in an exclusive report today from Washington, DC.
There will be only one panel of one -- Eric Holder. This is viewed by many who have been following the investigation as a serious mistake. Said one, "More simple browbeating of Eric Eric Holder without dramatic new evidence to impeach his story is going to look petty, mean and impotent.
Perhaps. After all, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa has pledged “We are still going to bring him forward” in response to Chief of the Criminal Division in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Arizona Patrick Cunningham’s decision to invoke his right not to self-incriminate after being subpoenaed to testify. And Issa has further demanded Justice stop blocking testimony from Cunningham underling Michael Morrissey. Advertisement
Compound this with a return shot from Committee Democrats attempting to absolve their administration allies, an outraged response from Sen. Chuck Grassley of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and yesterday’s stunning, knives-are-out ultimatum by Issa to charge stonewalling Attorney General Eric Holder with contempt of Congress, and it would appear an opportunity to show the American people an ongoing cover-up happening before their eyes may be lost.
And perhaps not. Again, per Vanderboegh:

I’d have holler’d...then act like one
Holder does it backwards,in high heels
I didn't post that. Other people are tired of your "over the top" attitude as well.
“Holder is pointing his finger now.”
Je$$e Jack$on: “Keep your finger in your pocket.”
Tierney has just read a pile of hearsay Evidence from some Hearing, and I don’t know how they can rebut this without him Testifying. He says Justice had no knowledge in that hearsay, but Holder just confirmed he knows nothing (the Sgt. Shultz defense....)
LOL
Issa is not going to allow it!
So Melson (sp?) gets a fresh start? What about Agent Terry? Or his family? Nice fresh start there, eh?
too many crimes; too little time.
never arrested or prosecuted.
Holder is aware prosecutors and elected officials were bribed and otherwise compromised, but has not held anyone accountable.
That’s the MO of Holder’s DOJ. Maybe they will be “reassigned”
If they zing him enough, maybe he will lose it. If he trips...he falls.
He's still arguing to get the crap Hearsay in the Record. He also has Issa making him look like the Whiner and tool that he is.
The mere fact that holder is AG at all is a damn scandal in and of itself.
Nothing is going to happen here.
Holder is a liar and is good at spin.
She then played the Brian Terry clip of a Cousin of his at a Hearing asking what was going to be happening to those who were involved? How will they be prosecuted? Holder won't talk because the issue is "under Investigation", which is the usual sellout defense.
Unfortunately, the procedure of these hearings doesn’t lend itself to the likelihood of that happening.
5 minutes Repub, 5 minutes of Dem softball, duck and cover defense. Nearly useless.
Now, if they arranged it to give 3 Repub members-— say, Issa, Burton, Chaffetz.... we might get somewhere. :-)
I hope Holder realizes he will eventually have a Ron Brown moment after all of this.
new tagger
I’m not sure I agree that he’s good at spin. I think what you have is a poor spinner who has the Donkeys putting up a smokescreen and the MSM ballwashing this administration.
From what I am gathering, holder has dropped the spin and is just flat out lying. Lord, I hope Issa has him an ace in the hole.
