Eric Holder’s Pants Are On Fire
By Wyatt Earp | October 4, 2011
Yeah, that’s right; he’s a big friggin’ liar. And he’s galactically stupid, too, because he was caught lying to Congress. Wait, he can go to jail for that, right?
It’s bad enough that his office has an unwritten policy of dropping charges against African-Americans terrorists, but to show such open contempt during a congressional hearing should sound the death knell of Holder’s career.
New documents obtained by CBS News show Attorney General Eric Holder was sent briefings on the controversial Fast and Furious operation as far back as July 2010. That directly contradicts his statement to Congress. On May 3, 2011, Holder told a Judiciary Committee hearing, “I’m not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks.”
Yet internal Justice Department documents show that at least ten months before that hearing, Holder began receiving frequent memos discussing Fast and Furious.
The Justice Department told CBS News that the officials in those emails were talking about a different case started before Eric Holder became Attorney General. And tonight they tell CBS News, Holder misunderstood that question from the committee – he did know about Fast and Furious – just not the details.
The man is the Attorney General of the United States and he didn’t know the details of an operation as large as Fast and Furious? Bitch, please.

This guy is slippery. He was a high up in the DOJ during the Clinton Administration. The ATF and FBI burned down the Waco Compound, with women and children in it, after a botched and poorly thought out raid that got several ATF agents and suspects killed. Holder was a big part of the effort to sweep that whole mess under the rug. I’m not optimistic Holder is going to be held responsible for anything, but I’d sure like to be wrong.

Okay, if the Yankees sign Holder, I’m gonna become a Nationals fan.

Will Holder do a perp walk?
ONLY if we had a just society.

It keeps coming but doesn’t stick.
If the last 3ish years had been Bush’s doing, the press would be on him like stink on shit.

Really scary is that even Calderon has been quiet lately. I wonder how much more of our tax monies have oozed across the border to insure that? Also nothing from La Raza seeing as how we armed their bad guys and killed a few hundred Mexican nationals as well as American agents in the process. All is quiet on the Western..er..Southern Front lately.
For those of you old enough to remember Firesign Theatre: (Best of my recollection)
Guard: “Halt! Who goes there?” “Who wonna the seconda Worlda War you so smart?”
Stoner1: “Not responsible! Park and lock it!
Stoner 2: “We’ve been shootin’ reds and yellows all daaaay.”
Stoner 1: “Oh boy am I sleepy.”
Lt.: Ki..ki…ki…kiiii
Stoner: Whats the matter LT?
Lt.: Ki…Ki…KILL!!!
Stoner: Aww he’s okay.
LT.: ..thud…
Stoner: “Aww he’s no fun he fell right over.”

Hard to believe CBS is on the “right” side of this….about time. The guy is smarmy and I can’t help but wonder what the odds are of Obama appointing a special prosecutor. What a piece of work!

Sebastian – As would I. He needs to take the fall for F&F and he damned sure ought to give Congress some answers. He won’t, of course, and no one will call him on it.
JT – Hell, it won’t be the first felon in sports.
LDIV – He makes Janet Reno look like Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Ferrell – We do, but justice doesn’t apply to everyone. Neither does the law.
Orbitup – The MSM called Bush a war criminal for much less than this.
Roger – “I learned it from watching you, okay!”
Jon – I guess Calderon doesn’t want to be called to a hearing.
Bob G. – He’s Obama’s boy. He won’t be dismissed until Obama is thrown out of office.
Metoo – Never happen. He knew about F&F, too, but he’s untouchable.
RAPH – No doubt. Sickening, isn’t it? As someone said at AoSHQ: “No one died during Watergate.” So that shouldn’t be the template for political scandals anymore.
