Holder and Rep.

This is worse than the Rose Law Firm.

Time for this guy to be put in jail. Impeachment is not enough.

Holder’s meeting with Issa was for one purpose only.

To pick off as many RAT votes as he can on the vote.
It has been reported that 31 democrats will vote for
contempt of Holder. He is trying to reduce the RAT
vote flight, so Zero can say this is a GOP witch hunt.

They all lack ANY balls whatsoever.

Besides, we all know that these charges are racially motivated, right? < /sarcasm that is close to the Libtard mindset>
