WH Comms Dir @pfeiffer44 slams Oversight Cmte for pursuing "a politically-motivated, taxpayer-funded election-year fishing expedition."

In written statement, @pfeiffer44 says House GOP should work with Presd Obama "to create more jobs, not more political theater.”

According to a tweet I just read....the contempt vote MAY be in 20 minutes.

Reminds me of the old Clinton days, when in the middle of the Monica vortex, he said something to this effect:

“I need to get back to the business of the American people”, or something like that.

The media is as complicit in this thing as the regime is...

That's fine if that's the way blacks want to operate. But to stand up in front of a microphone and feign indigence for blah, blah, blah whatever, they really shouldn't be surprised if most non-blacks don't take them seriously...it does a whole lot for the expectations of this “post-racial President” doesn't it.

This sort of reminds me of a Bastogne-like defense of Holder and the President, only with worthless words instead of bullets. And, I don't see a miraculous clearing of the weather to allow non-existence supporting forces to come in and save them......

It was Nixon’s arrogant attitude that brought him down.

True, but with one major exception; the leftist media was not running defense for Nixon as it does for the Marxist Kenyan.

Thanks for the information.

Loading up on popcorn here. Extra butter.

It’s past time to rein in the lawless bastards.

If it’s just political theater, why doesn’t the Administration give them the documents? If it’s just political theater, why are they asserting executive privilege? If it’s just political theater, why don’t they fire the people who perjured themselves before Congress? If it’s just political theater, why is Eric Holder risking a contempt citation?

Sorry, White House, but you can release anything you want. I’ve had enough of the leftist dictator in the White House.

Eric Holder was informed he would be held in contempt of Congress (after having already LIED to Congress) if he did not produce the requested documents Tuesday morning.

He postponed until Tuesday evening then did not produce them.

Today he gets Big Obama to suppress them.

Classic “dog ate my homework”.

Throw him in the cell they prepared for Roger Clemens. Lied to Congress, right?

[BlessingsofLiberty]

It will be interesting to see what a Federal Grand Jury does with this.

Obama has now admitted that he was a participant in the Fast and Furious program. He and Holder are responsible for the murder of Brian Terry.

They can stall this until the end of time. But, eventually justice will deal with these two criminals.

Because George Bush made them.

[plain talk]

CNN is not conflicted and still with obama based on how they are presenting this at their web site.

[Hotlanta Mike]

This is going to hurt the latino vote for Obama......

RE :”White House Mocks Issa Fast & Furious Investigation as “Political Theater”,

Did I tell you that Republicans havent thought this out past their vote? Well the past 5 minutes did I tell you?

This is fundraising stuff on both sides now.

Think a MSM reporter will try to get Romney to comment on this?
