Lying under oath may not be a crime for a politician. The natural defense is that when you lie for a living, telling a whopper is simply normal and natural.
However that defense strategy may make sense to Attorney General Eric Holder, it doesn’t wash with anyone outside of the beltway.
Slain Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry died at the hands of Mexican Cartel members who wielded Holder’s guns. So did a LOT of innocent Mexican citizens inside Mexico and who knows how many citizens inside of the United States?
It’s the ultimate in hubris for the Attorney General of the United States to sit before Congress and LIE for the sake of his own skin and that of his boss, President Obama.
CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson (left) is one of the more courageous investigators in the news business these days. The lady is known for absolute integrity, huge moxie, and fearlessness. The Weekly Standard reported that CBS may be attempting to muzzle her and put a spike in her efforts to expose the criminal enterprise of Holder/Obama. (READ MORE HERE). However, Attkisson reported on Twitter yesterday: @SharylAttkisson Don’t worry! Nobody is being silenced.
The news media asks questions
and the White House responds with hubris and smugness.
Listen to the White House spin below:
I’m gratified that Congress and the news media is asking the right questions.
Let’s review Holder’s testimony one more time (below).
What do YOU think? Did Holder lie to Congress?
Impeach, impeach, impeach!
Remember……Fast and Furious first broke as "Operation GUNRUNNER"
Same op with a different title.
WHEN did Holder say he FIRST knew of Fast and Furious,aka GUNRUNNER?
This is right out of the Dept of Justice. (can't locate the video of his speech on Youtube anymore…………..)

This was given in April……..2009…….2009…….2009
Anonymous – I'm sure that the YouTube video is 'safe' somewhere at DOJ.
Odie – Impeach, then imprison.
Did I see an article that said the DOJ is not cooperating with Congress? My oh my.
Holder's answer smacks of deep arrogance.
He could just as well have answered that he did not recall exactly when he first heard of it. That he would need to go back and check his emails.
Why would he tell such a BOLD FACED LIE? Because he could not resist shoving his words down the craw of those he perceives as enemies.
Hubris? Yes. Fatal flaw? Yes. Will this come to anything? We'll see.
