To the left the whole world is politics, and Timothy McViegh had the wrong kind.

Where have I heard this writer's name before?

Which OKC bombers?

the ones they caught, or the middle eastern men they didn’t look for?

[livius]

Only the Muslim ones. But then, they already got pardoned, because Bill Clinton’s boys called off the hunt for them right away.

Holder appears to play a part in every major scandal of the Clinton Administration, aside from sex with Monica Lewinsky in the Oval Office.

LOL!!!

One other major scandal he did not play a part in was the murder of Vince Foster and subsequent cover-up. He can be held blameless in that because he wasn't Deputy AG at the time. (No, I'm not trying to defend him, I'm merely pointing out a fact.)

Holder is a hired gun. His principles are whatever gets his principal the votes he or she wants, so I doubt the OKC bombers would get mercy from him unless they could somehow be connected with a large contribution of money for Obama’s next election.

Would Holder Recommend Pardon for Oklahoma City Bombers????

.....would he pardon abortion clinic bombers?????

There has been enough evidence gathered to implicate not only Middle Easterners (Muslims) but also Neo-Nazi’s that were here at the Elom camp.
There is an undercover agent that was ready to testify, but was silence by the ATF and those directly involved with President Clinton at the time.

Glad you guys mentioned the very likely central involvement of Muslims (specifically, Saddam Hussein's Iraqi intelligence agents) in the Oklahoma City bombing.

It appears likely that Clinton's Justice Dept. completely overlooked that to make it appear as if the bombing was perpetrated by right wing crazies. In fact, if you recall, Clinton himself blamed right wing talk shows for allegedly encouraging the bombing.

Would Condi Rice and Colin Powell be so forgiving if President Bush friended the men who bombed the Church in Alabama.

[ExTexasRedhead]

When are conservatives going to organize and get the financial backing to expose all the enemies of America holding political office and those that reside in the mainstream media?

[skeeter]

but was silence by the ATF and those directly involved with President Clinton at the time.

They and the MSM had no use for suspects who didn't fit their narrative.

These people will be called to account one day.

[ZULU]

I’m ready if somebody starts the ball rolling.

Regarding Holder's justification that clemency for the 16 FLAN terrorists was fine and dandy because they hadn't personally killed anyone:

Sessions went on to point out that Osama bin Laden and Khalid Sheik Mohammed were not directly responsible for the execution of the 9/11 attacks either, but they were part of the planning and conspiracy that surrounded the attacks.

HAHAHAHAHA. Jeff Sessions is a gem.

Excellent piece. Great reportage by Human Events.

Maybe this is on a different thread but I throw it in here.

I heard this AM on the radio that Holder was being questioned about the pardons and declined to answer saying that the questioner was questioning his integrity. Isn't this the entire purpose of the confirmation hearings?

No honkies need apply.

[justiceseeker93]

Yes, questioning Holder's integrity should be a major focus of the hearings (Of course, I'd be shocked if any on the 'Rat majority would go anywhere near there.).

BTW, please tell us, if you can, who questioned him about the pardons, so that we can finally give credit to a GOP Senator who isn't a wimp.

Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) was outspoken in voicing concerns about the Holder nomination at the hearing, first taking the committee chairman to task for his refusal to co-sign any of the documentation requests or issue subpoenas to reluctant witnesses.

“The chairman declined to co-sign the letter requesting records from the Clinton Library… and the records have not been obtained,” Specter said in his opening statement. “When the minority previously had a dozen witnesses under similar circumstances, we got three. When two witnesses, Ms. Mary Jo White and Mr. Roger Adams, refused to appear, our requests for subpoenas were denied.”

When confronted with this lack of cooperation in compelling document production and witnesses, Leahy replied, jammed among other things, “This is not a lifelong position.”

Specter went on to excoriate Holder for his refusal to appoint an independent counsel to investigate Al Gore’s shady campaign fundraising practices allegedly involving foreign governments (China being the most prominent) and basing fundraising operations out of the White House.

“If it hadn’t been the Vice President, your superior, somebody to favor, an independent counsel would have been appointed,” Specter said. “I think it’s so clear that it raises a question in my mind as to your fitness for the job.”

Who is this Specter guy and how soon can we get him out of office so he's not gumming up the nomination/appointment process?

Why did those idiots in Pennsylvania not get rid of him and get a real Democrat in there?!

Let's not get carried away! I think it was Arlen Specter.
