Attorney General Eric Holder in testimony before the House Judiciary Committee Thursday maintained that he and his top deputies didn’t know anything, can’t remember anything, and have no intention of complying with lawful subpoenas from Congress regarding Operation Fast and Furious, a government-run program that put guns into the hands of Mexican drug cartels.
Holder acknowledged that he’s only turned over 7,600 of the 140,000 Fast and Furious documents he’s sitting on, and indicated that’s about as good as it’s going to get.
This did not sit well with the clearly exasperated Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who is chairman of the House Oversight Committee and the lead House investigator into Operation Fast and Furious. “You’re not a good witness,” Issa snapped at one point, when Holder made one of his periodic efforts to pretend that providing five percent of the required material constitutes fulfillment of his subpoenas. “A good witness answers the question that was asked.”

Holder and Obama Two of a kind if their lips are moving and sound is coming out you are hearing LIES,LIES and more LIES then the LIES to cover up the LIES!!!
And remember how dems hated Nixon? Tit-for-tat time. Where’s Hillary?!
Holder is playing Issa.
Issa doesn’t return comments.
Just about like Bilbrey and staff.
Ok, so now what? When are they ever going to do anything with these people? They just keep letting them get away with all this stuff all the time. Everyone knows that BO is not eligible to be president but is anything done about it? Not one thing. Not one of those cowards will stand up and say, this is not right, not one.
And now this. Is Issa going to lay down too? What I wouldn’t give for one person in this country to have a back bone and be a red blooded patriot of old.
I suppose if he were to admit it he could be charged as a Terrorist by Mexican authoities for supplying firearms to enemies of the Government there. That would make it harder for him to prosecute ( well if he ever does) Terrorists here. I for 1 would hand him over to the Mexicans for one of their notorious prisons as soon as they asked..Maybe sooner !!
Slick: I don’t believe you. Really.
M F****** liar…….they lie from the minute they are born. Throw him in prison where he belongs.
Holder thinks he has more power than anyone in the country…..and as long as congress lets him get away with it, it will continue………Time to replace the worhless one and the congress needs to start kicking butt and taking names……notice their rating is almost below zero as it is.,….
Holder is another POS in Washington. He lies, just like obama because the truth is not in his vocabulary.
The two investigators that are looking into the leaks at the white house have to report to this moron. The same one that let off the black panther members that was clearly harrassing voters in 2008, not looking into “bounty reward” on the life of a citizen in Florida, and has produced 7600 redacted pages to the congress people. This country is really safe!!!!!!
If Holder did not know about Fast and Furious, he should have. If he did know, then he is criminally liable. Either way this genk has to go. He is prejudiced against whites, as proven by his comment, “We will only prosecute White on Black crime, we will not prosecute Black on White crime.” How much clearer can it be. He needs to go, but he is where he is because of the genk in the WH.
