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 Cunninghams 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 yesterdays 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:
(Excerpt) Read more at examiner.com ...
5,000 Mexicans killed
64,000 guns from US to Mexico. That was the talking point all along before the sh!t hit the fan. Still holding on to that?
The worry is about those guns killing LE. Sure....your idea of gun control had nothing to do about it.
Dan Burton reminds him about the claims of separation of powers during the Reno administration.
‘We have been down this road before. You might as well give them up.’ (again paraphrased)
No love lost between Burton & Holder.....
His name is Burton.
to some the glass is 1/2 full to others the glass is 1/2 empty
to you....it is sour
have a nice day
What was written on that note Ronald Weich just handed to Holder?
One witness (Cunningham) already took the fifth. Holder is saying he left the Justice Department on Monday. Mr. Cunningham had probably better hire body guards.
ROFL
Keep it going plEaSe! This is maddening.
Count your blessings. Listening to this crap will just make you want to puke.
Lies by holder and cummings is definite proof that affirmative action is a waste of time and money.
Elijah Cummings is both lawyer {bet that makes all the law sharks proud} and demonRAT congress critter for over 20 years.
Puke city.
The note said "tell Burton he's only attacking you because you're Black".
Cummings is trying to defend Holder's lying.
Denies he asked Cunningham to leave. Says Cunningham had planned to leave for a long while. (snicker, snicker)
New Holder buttboy asking questions now.
They have a long history.
Four years, but seems like six, LMAO!!!
Basically, what I infer from Holder's exact words, the Justice Dept. told him he better not talk, AND, they got him some cushy job with a Company that's a big Messiah supporter.
I assume the same laws apply Holder ?
Stupid balck democrat Holder apologist up now. Asking Holder preplanned questions to make him look like he is innocent.
Holder is getting off easy again.
:: Cunningham left this past Monday, after taking 5th, Therefore Holder cannot compel him to testify. ::
But, can the State of Arizona prosecute him? How about the family of the deceased BP agent?
Cunningham better not picnic in Marcy Park!
TY!
earbuds or headphones from an mp3 player?
Since c-span is streaming live, they will probably broadcast later today.
You really aren’t missing much. Holder is not going to say anything useful to Issa’s investigation.
Good, back to putting Holder on defense, where he looks like a plain as day liar.
