Holder is already in the hole. He best put the shovel down and stand clear.

Just the likelyhood of republicans taking over the house and maybe the senate is already having its effect and we are starting to see cojones growing before our eyes. There is so much dem dirt to investigate its dizzying.

I looked earlier on C-Span schedule and USCCR and couldn’t find a thing about it being televised.

The hearing is supposed to begin at 9:30 Eastern.

Coates was transferred to the SC DOJ office when he and Adams were subpoenaed by the USCCR. I don't know if that was considered a demotion or not but I'd bet Coates was not happy about it.

I don’t know if it was a demotion but he was transferred.

Kinda like being sent to Siberia.

What is the likelihood that Christopher Coates will provide useful information?

Very good from everything I’ve read.

The linked piece in the article above, “Coates’ Direct Eyewitness Testimony to Shine Light on DOJ” is a very good piece and covers some of that.
