McCain Gives Obama Attorney General Nominee A Tentative Thumbs-Up

“And I would imagine from my first glance at her credentials that she would get approved by the Senate. This is a very outstanding young woman from everything that I can tell.”

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain said Monday that based on his first impression, he assumes U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch will get approved by the Senate to replace outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder.

McCain called Obama’s nominee and the chief federal prosecutor in the Eastern District of New York an “outstanding young woman.”

“I think elections have consequences and therefore you give his nominees the benefit of the doubt, it doesn’t mean you’re a rubber stamp,” McCain said on the Steve Malzberg Show. “I voted in favor of some of his nominees who I would never have submitted to the Senate, but that’s our job, advise and consent.”

McCain added he believes a confirmation should wait, however, until the new Senate begins in January.

“Again, why not wait until you have a new Senate where we can look at this with some time to examine, it’s one of the most important positions there is. And I would imagine from my first glance at her credentials that she would get approved by the Senate. This is a very outstanding young woman from everything that I can tell.”

If approved, Lynch would become the first black woman to serve as the nation’s attorney general.

I am not a RINO. There are no RINOs, there are only liberal republicans.

I don't vote for liberal Republicans.

Perhaps you do.

You obviously don't acknowledge liberal Republicans like McCain. You want to call them anything but what they are.

I'm going to keep saying "told you so" to those that insist that Republicans can't be liberal.

He and his like-minded appeasers always make the prospect of a GOP majority in the Senate a very tenuous thing.

Pal you know absolutely nothing about me. Nothing. You therefore have no idea who I am, what I do, what I stand for. That said, my blood is on the ground for this Republic. Is yours? Probably not. I am a Christian, beholding to no man, only to my LORD Jesus Christ. I am a conservative, living in the most conservative state in the Union, Alabama. Our state’s top 11 positions are held by republicans. Both of our senators are republicans. 7 of the 9 congresscritters are republican. If you don’t live in my state, you cannot match that. So, go away RINO. I am finished with you and your continual crap. We’re done now.

You don't get it. I'm not a republican at all. I can't be a RINO.

I am a conservative, from Texas, a very conservative state.

And yes, I served the first time in the 80s, and re-enlisted after 9-11 so I could deploy again.

You need to figure out the difference between Republicans and conservatives.

You attack like a liberal.

It did not take long for McLame to open his pie hole after the election.

Was Loretta Lynch picked to be a gate keeper and cover up criminal investigation of Eric Holder, who is married to Lynch’s friend, Sharon Malone?

Posted on | November 9, 2014 | 28 Comments

I started investigating Loretta Lynch, Obama’s pick for Attorney General and immediately could see an interesting connection. I read an article stating that when Loretta Lynch started Harvard, she co-founded an African-American sorority. There was only one other girl in this sorority, Sharon Malone. The name rang a bell.

The name of the wife of AG Holder is Sharon Malone, she is the sister of a known civil rights leader Vivien Malone -Jones (one of 2 black students who enrolled in all white University of Alabama).

I checked the age: both were born in 1959 and both went to Harvard at the same time. There were very few African American students in Harvard in 1977-1981, so I am rather certain that Loretta Lynch is an old college friend of Sharon Malone, the wife of the current AG Eric Holder.

Why this connection is important? Holder will be investigated by Congress for totally lawless gun trafficking to Mexican drug cartels in Fast and Furious, IRS scandal, VA scandal, DOJ, NSA, EPA, FEC and other scandals. Most importantly, Holder covered up Obama’s use of a stolen CT Social Security number of Harrison J. Bounel 042-68-4425 and Obama’s use of bogus IDs. It seems that a long time college friend of Holder’s wife was picked up as a gate keeper to continue all of the cover up by Holder and shield Holder and Obama from criminal prosecution.

Two things about this:

1) it show why the appointments filibuster MUST be returned to 60 votes. It curtails the kind of mischief-making McCain and others like to engage in.

2) if she turns into a Holder clone, it’s an issue for McCain in his 2016 reelection race. He will be primaried, regardless, and this benefits his opponent. He’ll have Conservatives sit out the general, regardless, and this bolsters the case for doing that.

I frankly down give a good crap who or what you are pal. Just shut up and go away. I am sick and tired of your dribble. I have nothing else to discuss with you so we are done here. I am not wasting my time responding or even reading your dribble any longer. Go away and crawl back into your worm hole.

And I attack because a good offense runs a defense off the field. Or are you a Texas Tech fan?
