Holder tells Congress “Lying has to do with your state of mind”

Holder tells Congress “Lying has to do with your state of mind.” “Well, if you want to have this legal conversation, it all has to do with your state of mind and whether or not you had the requisite intent to come up with something that would be considered perjury or a lie,” Holder said. Or, as the last liar who hired him said, it all depends on what your definition of is is. Hey flaming pants, your chief of staff knew and your boss knew so in which of the 57 states was your mind for you to have the requisite intent not to know?????

  • I thought Holder studied law???? I didn't know you could get a PHD in lying....Looks like he was at the top of his class and so was his boss.

  • Imagine the press and the political liberals if the Attorney General at the center of the Fast & Furious scandal was named Alberto Gonzales.

  • Sounds to me like Eric needs to think less about the state of his mind and worry more about the state of his ass, figuratively speaking.

  • Well, if this isn't this administrations "depends on what your definition of "IS" is" moment, I don't know what is!

  • Yes, someone ask Scooter Libby if he had 'intent' ... he was convicted of essentially NO CRIME in the Valerie Plame case because there was no underlying crime committed ... he just didn't get his facts straight out of lack of memory and was charged with perjury by that fascist Fitzgerald. And yet this piece of excrement Holder gets a free pass on ALL his blatant lies to congress and the American people?!? Where's the American public's pit bull special prosecutor now? ... oh yeah, CHICAGO.

  • If you want an expert opinion on a subject you have to ask an expert. Who better than Holder to ask what lying through their teeth means.

    • After all these years, with all the experience that men like Holder have with lying, you'd think they'd at least be good at it.

  • "flaming pants"
    LMAO! I love that!
    So, Holder is now using his own perception as away to deflect from his pathology of lying? Too funny.
