Kabooki … and everyone here knows it – including Erika.

The GOP establishment won’t do a damn thing about this scandal except make loud noises attempting to gain political advantage – and the moment one of their “focus groups” says that there’s no more advantage in running with this scandal – it’ll be OFF their radar.

Let’s face it – TEAM GOP renegged on their “congressional oversight” responsibility LONG ago.

Dead pan chickens when it comes to facing Dimmocrits. They didn’t have the balls to settle Freddie and Fannie before it blew up – they damn sure don’t have the nuts to tackle a black President and Attourney General.

Nuff said.

Your insane, no-concern-for-reality diatribes, which originate from your blogging desk that’s located inside of a psychiatric ward, are always good for a laugh. This one here’s no different, but, I admit that I liked your Hilary Rosen screeds even better! :)

True but a .50 sniper rifle is a .50 sniper rifle; not something we really want in the hands of the cartels; never mind arming them with anything.

If I ever have the thousands of dollars to piss away on a gun for which I have no practical use (at the moment), I will buy a Barrett semi-auto .50 cal. There may be better, more accurate long range alternatives, but it’s a .50 cal, dude. One-half inch diameter of tissue obliterating bad-assness.

Holder’s doing the same thing. It’s time to gig him. It’s time to pee or get up off the potty.

Like Wimp Lo, Holder would say “I’m a man. I make pee-pee standing up.”. (h/t to Steve Oedekerk)

Obama should release the records!

ConcealedKerry on June 14, 2012 at 2:19 PM

The records are what Zero and Holder say they are because:

They have “superior knowledge”!

Obama should release the records!

ConcealedKerry on June 14, 2012 at 2:19 PM

Oh, yeah, that’ll be the day.

No way he gives him what he wants. He’s going to drop a bunch of worthless crap that’s heavily redacted that Holder hopes will take a few months for Issa’s aides to go through.

I completely agree with you here.

As I said to novaculus, I believe it’s going to be getting him nowhere, however!

Maybe that should be crowd-sourced? I heard that’s all the rage now!

Holder expects to undermine support for the contempt citation by doing a last-minute document drop. That will likely peel off the Democrat support. If Issa proceeds on schedule with the contempt citation, Democrats will portray it as a partisan witch hunt.

Issa is dong a good job. He is being very careful not to overreach or make a misstep that can be credibly portrayed as partisan. Of course, Elijah is leading the Democrats playing the “partisan politics” card anyway, but they aren’t credible due to the caution and patience that Issa has displayed.

It did seem to me that Issa was at the end of his patience during the last hearing before Judiciary. He needs to tie a knot in the end of the rope and hang on. He is gradually backing Holder and Obama into a corner, and he can’t afford a mistake that lets them escape.

Could be, but I think it is just part of the stalling strategy. Having delayed up to the last moment before being held in contempt of Congress, he will now release a new batch of documents, all carefully scrubbed of Holder’s fingerprints. Review will take some time. Then Issa, et al, will complain that once again Holder has not been responsive to the subpoenas. Elijah will get up on his high horse and scream “Whitey on a witch hunt!” at the top of his lungs. It just isn’t going anywhere until Holder is held in contempt and a federal judge orders the US Marshals to enforce the subpoenas by going to the DOJ and physically seizing the records.

The risks Obama and Holder are taking can only be justified if they know that if the truth comes out they are finished, kaput.

At this point, I think all Holder is trying to do is to delay the inevitable until after the election. Eventually we will get to the bottom of it, but if it is after the election Holder and Obama won’t care. Holder can be run out, but Obama will just pardon him. I can’t imagine the gutless wonders in the Republican leadership attempting to impeach a just re-elected Obama even if they had memos from him to Holder directly authorizing the unlawful sale of weapons to Mexican cartel terrorists, and from Holder back, detailing the sales.

I agree it’s a stalling tactic, as Holder-meerkat sees the walls closing in, but I don’t believe Issa will fall for it – either he gets everything he’s asking for from Holder, or he proceeds on pace (Issa hasn’t let me down yet!)

We shall be seeing shortly…

Any thoughts/speculations about what’s next for Holder? Do you believe he’ll give Issa everything he wants?

Shame you feel you have to obfuscate every single post.

Partisan?
Well now that you’ve called me a Marxist, don’t you mean ideological?
I see now the concerns you have are much much deeper.
Very deep.

Please explain your reasoning for your decision that Holder/DOJ is not required to obey congressional subpoenas because you believe the investigation is partisan.

You can’t, b/c that is illogical and purely a partisan stance. You are asking that congress be able to prove a case before it conducts an investigation.

It is sad. I would not support a republican administration openly fluting the law, but you do here. Based only on your own conjecture that there is nothing to investigate.

that is sick ideological hatred of the rule of law.

You are not just annoyingly dishonest, but ridiculous as well.

I really don’t understand how leftists live with themselves. With the dishonesty and lack of principals.

What I said earlier still stands …

Issa is going to give him a choice of whether he wants to be Halderman or Dean.

My money is he goes the Halderman route … believing a Presidential pardon will keep him out of jail.

verbaluce on June 14, 2012 at 4:33 PM

Oh my is right. You just admitted in writing that you don’t believe people of your party affiliation should have to obey the law.

That is nothing but Marxist will-to-power. I’m sorry if that bothers you.

Do I get to do that? If I think that a law is bad or partisan, can I ignore it?

Man, what a hall of mirrors you guys live in.
You guys don’t even know what you are angry about…just that you are angry.
Simple questions like ‘what is the accusation?’ or ‘what is it you think Holder did?’ are met with ‘go look it up!’ and ‘we are not gonna lay it out for you!’.
Kind of artful how you avoid ever saying anything and then high five each other for accomplishing that.

Well now, that’s a theory…sure.

I accuse Issa and Cornyn of having no genuine non-political motivations here, ok?

verbaluce on June 14, 2012 at 4:21 PM

So, if your side believes that the congressional investigation has no merit, it does not have to comply with the law – that is a correct reading of your position right?

Do I get to do that? If I think that a law is bad or partisan, can I ignore it?

when you have to support ignoring the rule of law, doesn’t it make you contemplate that maybe your ideology is wrong?

I mean, I know that having to lie constantly, as Obama does, does not make leftists contemplate whether their ideology is wrong. But is there anything that you hold as a principal other than trying to acquire more and more power?
