May 05, 2011 Debra Burlingame: Obama Says He Will Not Intervene With AG Holder Over Indictments of CIA Interrogators

Just over FoxNews now. As the wife sister of one of the victims of 9/11 -- and a persistent critic of Obama's policies -- she used the meet-and-greet as a chance to ask Obama about an issue that concerns her.

Holder's holding indictments over the heads of CIA interrogators -- the same ones who delivered bin Ladin to the SEALs.

Burlingame asked him about that, and said "I know you can't tell him what to do" (which isn't really true), and Obama said "That's right."

Then she asked, even if she couldn't order him to drop the prosecution of the interrogators who got bin Ladin, if he would at least offer Holder his opinion that there should be no prosecutions, he answered: "No, I won't."

Huh. Big Damn Hero, huh?

She went on to note that, last May, a Dallas US Attorney sought to indict CAIR officials (for terrorist ties and terrorist funding, of course), and Holder quashed those indictments.

We're in the very best of hands, as Instapundit says.

I might suggest that a reasonable campaign strategy for possible GOP nominees is to make this an issue right now. If I was thinking about running, I would issue an unequivocal statement that my first act as command-in-chief would be to issue pardons for these American heroes.

Let Obama explain why he won't, especially now that he's gloating over something that SURELY wouldn't have happened absent the work of these fine Americans.

Gutsy call, Mr. _resident, Gusty call. /dripping sarc

Major Garrett was also interviewed on Steve’s show the following hour and he said there’s no way this would go to trial.

Perhaps he will bring Holder to meet the Teams then they can both arrest them for the hit on Osama....

BFD... George W. Bush wouldn't even intervene over his OWN justus department's ill-advised interminable investigation of Congressman John T. Doolittle that never did file a charge until after the election of 2006 which John lost because of this ridiculuous brain fart of The Republicans in an election they could ill afford to lose!!!

Thank the Lord we got Tom McClintock in there to replace John!!!

"Major Garrett was also interviewed on Steve’s show the following hour and he said there’s no way this would go to trial."

Maybe, maybe not. But, whatever happens, I'm sure the legal fees are bankrupting the "suspects".

Lawyers have a phrase for this - You can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride.

I can only hope the military is getting more an more POed at the usurper.

Funny you should say that. I met a military guy in (an unnamed-branch-of-the-military) at a (——) store while I was shopping. We had a very interesting conversation about he and his fellows’ regard for our ‘resident in chief.

Matter of fact, his opinion was about the same as a group of young Marines we had over for dinner a while ago...

[TLI]

if he would at least offer Holder his opinion that there should be no prosecutions, he answered: "No, I won't."

I fail to see why anyone would be the least bit surprised by this. Little bammy the nut-job let others go to prison over his BC, which he then "produced" when his damn POLL NUMBERS were in jeopardy.

Sick minded narcissistic communist is perhaps the most polite description of him/it.

Put nothing past him/it, believe nothing you hear from him/it and it would be advisable to believe only 10% of what you actually see him do.

After all, he BELIEVES he is The One and we are "slugs."

I so sorry Tom didn’t get elected governor. California was voted the worst place to do business every year Schwarzenegger served. And now Indonesia oil bag man Jerry with his Air Resources hand picked board of goons is in charge. It’s frightfully depressing.

[Krodg]

That little rant made no sense except that you hate President Bush. BTW, obama sucks.

[Logical me]

Both Holder and King Obama are both communists and the overthrow of our Government is their only objective.

[muawiyah]

For what it's worth a future Republican administration is going to be holding some charges of treason over the heads of Obama and his running dog lackeys.

It's stuff like this that GUARANTEES that happening.

[TPOOH]

SO GLAD HE’S NOT MY PRESIDENT.
