Sen. Cornyn: Holder’s ‘arrogance knows no bounds’
The Daily Caller ^ | May 9, 2012 | Matthew Boyle

Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn told The Daily Caller on Wednesday that he thinks Attorney General Eric Holder needs to comply with the congressional subpoena demanding documents relating to Operation Fast and Furious.

Cornyn also said he thinks Holder’s demonstrable failure to comply with House oversight committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa’s subpoena for Fast and Furious documents is an indicator of his overall disregard for congressional oversight. “It’s abundantly clear that when it comes to cooperating with Congress, the Attorney General’s arrogance knows no bounds,” Cornyn told TheDC.

President Barack Obama now has a responsibility to step forward and make Holder comply with the subpoena, Cornyn added. He said Obama and Holder owe it the family of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, who was murdered more than a year ago with Fast and Furious weapons the Obama administration allowed to get into the hands of Mexican drug cartels.

“President Obama should show leadership and direct the Attorney General to provide the Terry family with answers,” Cornyn said.

Issa served Holder with a subpoena on Oct. 12, 2011. The Attorney General has so far failed to comply with all 22 categories of the subpoena that requires him to provide Congress with documents relating to Fast and Furious. With 13 of the categories, Holder (has provided no documents) When it comes to the other nine subpoena categories, Holder (is still far from compliant,) , as TheDC reported late last week.

Contempt of Congress proceedings for Holder appear to be on the immediate horizon if he continues failing to comply with the subpoena.

He (Cornyn) said Obama and Holder owe it the family of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry..." Maybe so but what about the American people? I believe what Obama and Holder are doing is impeachable, it surely is a crime.

Scooter Libby mispoke and went to prison. Holder lied, period. Arrest him, give him a trial, remove him, and line him against a wall at Leavenworth. F Obama.

Why should Holder’s arrogance have Bounds?

He is backed by the President of the United States.
A man who writes his own laws, and finds ways around the laws written by Congress.

In fact Holder and Obama are bound to each other so tightly that if one goes the other is done for.They are co-conspirators in the greatest fraud ever perpetrated.

Both Holder and Obama are adherents to Black Liberation Theology and Critical Race Theory. They do not recognize the White man's laws or culture!

That is why I suggested Leavenworth. By the time Obummer got off vacation, the firing squad would have reloaded.

Sen. Cornyn: Holder’s ‘arrogance knows no bounds’

Uh huh, thanks for stating the obvious... and so, what are you prepared to do to hold him accountable you gutless, limp-wristed pansy? Continue to piss and moan? The GOP is pathetic...

Cornyn will now send out a press release so we will know he has made a statement. Don’t expect anything else from him; he has “spoken” and that is all he will do. I definitely want to vote against him; he is a DC Republican.
