Proxy fight: HOLDER goes to Washington Post, says GOP out TO GET HIM AND OBAMMY.
Attorney General Eric Holder said on Monday that a bipartisan group of legislators held him in criminal and civil contempt of Congress last week because he is a “proxy” for attacking President Barack Obama in an election year.
Holder gave The Washington Post’s Sari Horwitz his first post-contempt interview. She printed his comments unchallenged.
In the interview, Holder, the first sitting cabinet member to be held in contempt of Congress, said he still thinks he is the target of a Republican witch hunt.[ OH, BECAUSE ISSA IS A REPUBLICAN IT'S A WITCH HUNT......IF IT WERE A DEMONCRAT IT WOULD NOT EVEN BE AN ISSUE IT WOULD BE ANOTHER 'FREEPASS"....]
“I’ve been doing all of these things all the time. House oversight committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa and his band have been nipping at my heels,” Holder told Horwitz. “They’ve been nipping, but I’ve been walking.” [WOE IS ME.....THEY ARE JUST PICKING ON ME, AND I'M SO FORTHCOMING..AND HONEST] QUESTION: WHAT IS ALL THESE THINGS.... ALL THE TIME???" DUH!
“I’ve become a symbol of what they don’t like about the positions this Justice Department has taken,” he added. “I am also a proxy for the president in an election year. You have to be exceedingly naive to think that vote was about … documents.”;[JUST BECAUSE THEY WANT ALL THE DOCUMENTS......WELL, THAT'S OUT OF THE QUESTION.....BARACK SAID 'FUGETABOUTIT ERIC"...'YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE THEM ANYTHING!]
Last week’s contempt votes on the House floor came after he withheld tens of thousands of pages of documents from Congress in the Operation Fast and Furious scandal. While Horwitz wrote that Holder has indeed provided Issa with about 7,600 pages of material, she did not note that many of those documents were completely blacked-out pages or otherwise heavily redacted. (RELATED: Full coverage of Operation Fast and Furious)..
Horwitz also did not note Holder’s admission that he has internally identified more than 140,000 pages that he has yet to justify withholding;
[NOW, NOW Ms. Horowitz....why didn't you report on the "BLACKED OUT PAGES"???
AND Ms. Horowitz, it isn't 7600 pages.....it's [can you use your fingers to count.....????]
140,000 that's ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY THOUSAND PAGES.....
THAT'S SOME fine REPORTING.!]
and BTW: my comments are in CAPS in Parenthesis..just sayin'! Yo!

+6I was done with Holder when he didn't prosecute the black panthers who were standing outside the polling place and intimidating the voters. He obviously thinks blacks can commit crime and not be punished. I guess it's his form of reparations.
the TRUTH!
again common sense prevails ....!
It is my understanding that when there is a Subpoena Duces Tecum, you produce the documents and don't duck and cover. Have you noticed some of the documents sent to the committee are redacted to the point that they are blacked out pages?. Sorry Holder you are not annoited. If truth be known you are nothing more than a hireling of the electorate.
Yah....well, we'll see about that
They have this jerk dead to rights.
Can't wait for November!
Any street thug would be serving life in prison for a fraction of what this man has done.
Instead of the usual liberal play of tossing the race card on the table, Holder decided to mix it up a bit and play the "everybody's always picking on me" card.
