‘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:

Cummings says that they have struck strictly to talking about Fast & Furious.

Why then do I keep hearing the name of George Bush and other people in his administration, who were all gone when Fast & Furious was started?

Cummings whining about Labrador staying in context of Fast & Furious, when his buddy Clay was talking about Iran Contra and conspiracies. Hypocrite.

Did Holder just laugh at someone showing his pattern - did I hear him emit a “Hah!”

Norton trying to stick up for Holder, doesn’t want anyone reminding anyone of the Marc Rich thing as it relates to Holder’s pattern of covering his own fanny.

Well Thank God munchkin corrected the record.

Holder says Miss (yes, he said Miss) Labrador was disgusting. Maybe that is how you do things in Idaho or wherever it is you are from.

Disrespectful, I hold an office deserving of respect.
Fundamentally unfair.

Holder: That was one of the worst things I have ever seen in Congress.

I am proud of the work I have done.

I hold an office that is deserving of respect.

Fundamentally unfair. Just not right.

WHINING AGAIN!

Holder has no respect for life or persons, unless it is his or “his people.” He is one arrogant SOB clocked in a thin veneer of polish.
