NBC News to GOP Rep: 'You're Not Entitled To Those Documents'

NBC News' Thomas Roberts accuses Rep. John Mica (R-FL) of "sour grapes" and having "an axe to grind" for requesting Fast and Furious documents that, according to Roberts, Congress is "not entitled to." s

I guess the term “Congressional Oversight” is completely foreign to Tom Roberts.

Thomas Roberts subs for Sgt. Schultz on PMSNBC.

Thomas Roberts is the first cable news anchor to publicly come out.

Roberts publicly acknowledged he is gay while speaking at the annual convention of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association (NLGJA) in Miami, Florida, which was held on September 8, 2006.

He had slowly been coming out at CNN over the past several years. Diaz reported that Roberts, who has been a member of the NLGJA since 2005, said he was proud of his partner and that staying in the closet was a difficult thing for a national news anchor. "When you hold something back, that's all everyone wants to know", Diaz quoted Roberts as saying.

On September 15, 2006, Christie Keith, a reporter with the website AfterElton.com, published an interview with Roberts, who stated that he actually came out to coworkers in 1999, when he was living in Norfolk, Virginia. "I was happy, I was in a relationship, and I was very proud.

Roberts was raised a Roman Catholic, and still considers himself one.

He has been in a relationship with his partner, Patrick D. Abner, since 2000. According to an AfterElton.com interview, they celebrated their anniversary on September 30, 2006. On June 25, 2011, one day after same-sex marriage in New York was legalized, Roberts announced his engagement to Abner on his Twitter page.

BINGO!

Dear NBC News' Thomas Roberts:

Have you heard of the system of checks and balances? Congress can request anything regarding documents, and in the here and now emails. What parts of the constitution are you unfamiliar with; All of it?

Callers (democRATs) to C-Span are playing the race card. What part (of people lied and people died) do these race card players not understand? The race card players may as well call zer0 and now holder their gods. Sheet ....

Ditto that!

That’s one reason I smell blood in the water here: the mild-mannered GOP folks are getting PISSED OFF. It’s not just those who COULD be called partisan fire-breathers, like Issa. It’s the Clark Kent types like Mica, Grassley, Cornyn and many others.

#1: Mrs MindBender and I have known Pat and John Mica for 25 years. He is a great guy, and note to the (P)MSNBC News Clown, do not screw with John.

#2: Please put on ping list

Facilitate the cover-up, and the blood is on your hands too, Comcast.

Now the callers to C-Span (democRATs) are going back to Former President Reagan and iran/contra. Smelling desperation and hearing it live.

“NBC News to GOP Rep: ‘You’re Not Entitled To Those Documents’”

The Ministry Of Truth is not happy with recent developments, obviously.

House Committee is not only entitled to the documents, it is their sworn Constitutional duty. Thus we see yat agin that the fifth column enemy euphemistically called ‘the media’ is working to destroy the Constitutional Republic they obviously either don’t comprehend or hate with all their ‘mite’. I happen to have no tolerance gene left, so I hate the media for the perfidy they daily convey.

“Bammy is looking forward to this Constitutional Crisis...”let no crisis go to waste”...the “best” thing to fall out of it all will be disruption of the vote...and Holder has his own plans to facilitate that....

I hope We the People are up to it.

Thanks, how about those who think Romney will take a stand on this? Talk about dreaming.

Where there’s smoke there’s fire and the media is smoldering like an oil soaked rotten log.

You make an excellent point. Mica was sincerely disgusted. He’s not a grandstander in any way- this has him truly angry. And who ever sees Grassley in a dither as he’s been about this? These guys (Clark Kents) are PISSED.

They know something(s)we don’t.
