‘No Fifth Amendment Theater’ in tomorrow’s Holder hearing(gunwalker) [LIVE THREAD]
Gun Rights Examiner ^ | 1 February, 2012 | David Codrea

Posted on 02/02/2012 6:06:17 AM PST by marktwain

“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:

Holder is using the "those directly responsible", and Buerkle tells him "you are in charge and are to be accountable", and that she was one of those calling for his Resignation.

"How many Agents have to be killed before you take Responsibility"?

Holder says it's "politically motivated attacks" and "I can be held accountable, but give me some credit for things this Justice Department has done and balance that against all the things".....what an ASS!

He's citing "Civil Rights" advances, etc. (Yeah; I onlly care about Holder's People).

The nads on this guy. He’s clamoring for credit. Way to come across as needing affirmation.

Lying and whining. Now he is giving a sob story about how he doesn’t get enough credit for the good job he does.

“And frankly, that’s beneath you, Congresswoman.”

Did I just hear that correctly? lol

What about Agent Terry’s civil rights? What about Brian Terry’s right to life? What about the THOUSANDS of Mexicans who were murdered?

holder says he will go after “those directly responsible”, does that mean that he will walk into the White House and arrest soetoro? (Remember the “under the radar” comment)

Another ass-kisser (Connolly) tries the Blame Bush, changes in Law needed, etc., etc., and sarcastically accusing the Panel of being politically motivated trying to "pin this on the Attorney General and The President")

He's won the prize as the BIGGEST Asshole on the Panel.....

Holder is waffling and blaming that we need more Laws, and Connolly is parrotting the Talking Points on stricter Gun Control, etc.
