Attorney General Eric Holder told the House Oversight Committee today that rather than being asked to resign, “Perhaps I deserve some credit,” for Fast and Furious.

“I should be held accountable for surely my role in whatever I did or didn’t do in connection to the supervision of Fast and Furious.  But, yeah, I’m Attorney General of the United States and perhaps I should be held accountable and perhaps even be given some credit.”

The Fast and Furious gunwalking program left at least one US border agent dead and hundreds dead in Mexico.

Agent Dead, Cover-Up Alleged, No Punishment — Holder? It’s ‘Political’

The family of slain border agent Brian Terry announced yesterday that they would sue ATF for $25 million.

    Perhaps you should stay focused on the criminal investigation you are currently the primary suspect of. The House Oversight Committee is not gathered to sing your praises, they are there to investigate serious crimes committed under your watch, and perhaps under your direction. How much credit would *your* investigators give a suspect for prior good deeds? Your prosecutors would literally laugh at a defendant using a defense like that.

    An inspector general is supposedly conducting an investigation. An inspector general found corruption with one of obamas cronies in Ca. and was smeared as senile and fired. That sent a clear message to the other inspector generals about doing their job. There was no doubt that funds were being misappropriated but it was even more clear that they should shut up and sit in their office until they could find a republican to hound.

    Holder is acting like a person who knows he is not going to have to pay for his crimes, and he’ll escape prosecution as well, that he can act any way he wants and no one will be able to do anythinb about it.
    It really frustrates me that the Republicans can’t or won’t or don’t know about all the ways, governmentally that will put him and Obama in such a bind that they won’t be able to escape prosecution or at least charges that can make it impossible to escape having to resign.
    Holder acts like he can just do and say what he wants and feels confident that Obama will keep him from going to jail. And, boy, does he need to go to jail, but probably won’t because Holder knows to much about Obama, and visa versa Obama knows to much about Holder. Remember the two of them served on the same boards of directors which was a anti-gun organization, the Joyace Foundation. This was a organization that Obama and Holder both were directly involved in the creation of this organization so they could put pressure on the government agencies that were responsible for preserving the 2nd Amendment. That is Obama and Holders target to get it out of the way so that when Obama shows his true self, and that is a dictator, that the two of them would serve again as the King (Obama), and his second in command (Holder). That way they can serve America on a silver platter to the U.N. and the world organization will only have two to guide instead of a whole Congress and Senate, Justice Department, and Executive administration.

    Send emails to the Senator’s who are prosecuting Holder and tell them that you are a supporter of their effort to rid this nation of a corrupt government set up by Obama and Holder. Issa.

    Just following the plan – any tactic is viable when the goal is to disarm American citizens. This poorly executed debacle is something Holder is proud of, as it almost worked. He’ll do better next time. No remorse because elitists will sacrifice other’s lives for the cause without regard.

    When Holder went on record saying that he perhaps deserved some credit for “the things that this Department has done under my leadership” he then went on to point out the increase in the Civil Rights section of the DoJ.

    Credit? He wants credit for booting J. Christian Adams, the whistleblower on the New Black Panther case that Holder dismissed, AFTER it had been won in the courts, which was under the purview of the Civil Rights division of the DoJ?

    I am beginning to think that Holder is truely delusional and needs mental health treatment.

    A Pardon to Remember

    [Under the rules governing pardon petitions — rules that were approved by Mr. Holder’s office — the views of United States attorneys “are given considerable weight” because of the “valuable insights” they have. And yet Mr. Holder did not consult Ms. White and her colleagues about the Rich pardon petition; they did not know of it until it had been granted.

    [..]

    Mr. Holder never came close to meeting that standard. He had the last
    word at Justice on clemency petitions and he saw to it that he had the
    only word. He brokered one of the most unjustifiable pardons that an
    American president has ever granted.]

    and lest not forget this & this & a dozen or so other things.. :mad:

    Its another Valerie Jarret appointment…but they still do nothing…nothing..they are hiding emails that Jarrett, Obama, and DOJ knew what they were all doing to get rid of guns…
    Holder doesn’t care that a young white border agent and 300 mexicans dead…as long as they weren’t black…DOJ are all black racists he supports black panthers.

    But they still do nothing he must fired…..he thinks he needs credit???? these evil SOB have no shame none……

    WHO would sue two American states for enforcing the law? Remember when he was going to sue our CIA agents????? And he was going to try terrorists in regular courts??
    It never stops he thinks he is GOD cause he’s got Obama supporting him they get away with murder……
