Did Eric Holder lie in Congressional testimony last week?

Did Eric Holder lie in Congressional testimony last week? No this is not a trick question… Holder stated: “In regard to potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material. This is not something I’ve ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be wise policy.” “As it turns out, Holder not only heard of it, he personally approved it.”

  • OK seriously. I know that I joke around and I sincerely don't want to accuse but I saw Obama and Holder in a video a few days ago (it was shot some time ago, but I haven't seen it before) where they were both sitting and standing side to side. I felt... odd. Like you know when you know when two people are familiar with one another but in a private way? If you know the feeling that I am talking about that is what I felt. I don't know. I could be absolutely wrong about that, but I felt it for real.

  • Holder has made a career out of lying, and unfortunately people usually end up dead because of it, prime examples being Ruby Ridge, Waco, and Fast and Furious. Anybody who expects he's going to investigate his own actions are as stupid as the day is long.
    Which applies to Hank Johnson.

    • Don't blame poor Hank, it's the voters in his district who should be given helmets to wear in public. They are the dumb M-effers who elect the dumb M-effer Johnson.

  • The scandal du jour, Obama will survive this like he's survived all the other scandals of his administration; the supine, worshipful MSM will, once again give him a pass. So Holder will lie his ass off and there will be no consequences for him. There willl, however, be consequences for us as our republic is subverted by a gangster cabal of Chicago Democrats.

  • All of Eric Holders pronouncements since taking office bear the same resemblance to truth as reality TV does to reality.

  • This administration is much, much worse than the Clinton administration and not just by degrees but by entire quantums. The buried bodies, the lies, the cronyism, the wholesale theft of time and money, man I don't really even know where to begin and end. The shit this f***ing jug eared Kenyan Liar-In-Chief gets away with, a pass on, being the second black and possibly the third queer POTUS and all is just staggering. I mean flabbergasting staggering! I'm dumbfounded when I try to wrap my mind around the monumental amount of waste, theft, lies and felonious behavior these people get away with!

        • well, how about that?
          Thanks y'all.

          btw, looking forward to the day when the D.C. cessmates become cellmates.

        In writing about the impeachment in 1998, Morrison wrote that, since Whitewater, Bill Clinton had been mistreated because of his "Blackness":

        Years ago, in the middle of the Whitewater investigation, one heard the first murmurs: white skin notwithstanding, this is our first black President. Blacker than any actual black person who could ever be elected in our children’s lifetime. After all, Clinton displays almost every trope of blackness: single-parent household, born poor, working-class, saxophone-playing, McDonald’s-and-junk-food-loving boy from Arkansas.

        The phrase "our first Black president" was adopted as a positive by Bill Clinton supporters. When the Congressional Black Caucus honored the former president at its dinner in Washington D.C. on September 29, 2001, for instance, Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX), the chair, told the audience that Clinton "took so many initiatives he made us think for a while we had elected the first black president."

  • So how will the Collaborationist Media respond? Will they find some balls, or circle the wagons and start screaming about RAAAAAAAAAAAAACISM and Rethuglicans burning crosses on the White House lawn?

  • He lied his ass off. He knows that the DoJ targeted reporters because he signed off on it. Perjury, obstruction of Congress both carry some serious jail time. Unless president quagmire grants a pardon to all of his court jesters.

  • Signature tells a different story. He should be impeached, disbarred, and tried. His face needs to be out front everyday as the symbol of the abject corruption of this administration until the first Tuesday of November '14.

    • Tangent again Kick. I'd like to believe you know while I hide behind sarcasm, I "think" about a lot of things but can't articulate them as well as most here.

      That being said, is this as big as I think it is?

      In a low info voter kinda way, is he saying more or less "do your job, and I'll stake my re-election on not playing games"? And if McCain & Graham are the statists you've beaten me over the head to finally understand, who wins this one?

      Rubio got sucked inside the beltway, he'll get slaughtered trying to "work" with the likes of Schumer on immigration. He means well and is trying, imho, but ... Yeah, but.

      Can Cruz hang onto his seat long enough to make a difference and do you think he's the real deal? Babbling I know, but in a big sky looking over gear today. Am I way off base?

      • Cruz is a wait-and-see, i think. It depends on what he has learned from this debacle. He totally screwed the pooch, BUT I think most conservative have a tendency to want to compromise. It's in our blood. It's what MAKES us conservatives at heart.

        Alinsky saw our weakness and has had disciples training disciples for generations on how to use this against us. So, if we give the guy ONE chance to learn his lesson, and if he learns it - if he puts on the gloves and says "fool me once, shame on you - fool me twice, shame on ME" then he may be a contender.

        If he has gotten comfortable with the cushy luxuries that washington offers to elected officials, he's toast.

        • My problem is looking at it like it was me...I'm honest and have ideals... I get there and don't know how things work and get sucked in. I'd like to think they fool me once and i stand up and SAY exactly what I mean after that... I'm sorry but the people who have brass there are no more. If I hear Mr. McCain talk about his friends across the aisle one more time I'm gonna puke. Sorry for the visual, and the labeling, but they're all ^u$$ies. Do your job or gtf outta the way. I'd rather have another decade of the Clintons than stomach my 'side' being "bi-partisan".

    Are Dana Perino, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Andrea Tantaros hot?
    Is Blob Schmeckel fat?
    Are Brian Williams and Matt Lauer stupid?

    I think you get my point.
