Grassley fires broadside at Eric Holder, DoJ subordinates(gunwalker)
Seattle Gun Rights Examiner ^ | 14 November, 2011 | Dave Workman

Senator Charles Grassley late Monday afternoon fired a broadside at Attorney General Eric Holder in the wake of last week’s hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee that left not only Grassley, but others very unhappy with Holder, as this column noted.

As this column reported, the Iowa Republican is staying on point with his investigation of Operation Fast and Furious, who is responsible, who knew what and when did they know it?

Holder, and his defenders on the committee who have tried to shift public focus away from the gun trafficking scandal and toward their gun control agenda, as this column reported, may learn something about Grassley from all of this. Once he gets on the scent, and especially once he sinks his teeth into an issue, nothing appears to rattle him, or drive him off the rails.

Here are some points Grassley felt the necessity to emphasize on his website:

Senate Judiciary Committee Oversight Hearing with Attorney General Eric Holder, Nov. 8, 2011:

• Senator Grassley: “Who will be held accountable for allowing a letter to Congress with a statement that many people in the Justice Department knew was false?

Attorney General Holder: “Well again I – I have to dispute, with due respect, the assertion that people in the Justice Department knew it was false.”

• Attorney General Holder to Senator Cornyn: “February the 4th, the information that was contained in that letter was thought to be accurate. It wasn’t until sometime after that that we had a sense that the information was not, in fact, accurate. So it wasn’t as if the date upon which we knew the information was inaccurate was on February the 4th.”

The republicans are chicken sh** when it comes to organizing a real threat to Obama's treason and tyranny.

And the extent of YOUR efforts which puts you in a position to criticize the only representatives doing ANYTHING to directly challenge the Marxists is to post little cowardly potshots on an anonymous website?

What makes you ANY different than a DUmmy who takes potshots at Grassley and Issa on DU or the NYT comments section?

But you probably recognize your insignificance deep inside, which is why you only can manage enough self-esteem to post such little comments to yourself.

OK, so what, he will never touch him unless it is a unified effort and I see no big push, all I have seen is a call for Holder to resign. The stupid party is laughed at.

All aside Grassley has what it takes, but there are too few of him. It is not him I am perturbed about it is the lack of action. Threats will undo nothing sort of like dealing with Iran.

I apologize for post 11 we freepers do not resort to name calling. I admire Grassley, was not singling him out, it is the GOP in general who are not aligned with him.
