Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. sharply criticized lawmakers Monday for voting to hold him in contempt of Congress last week, saying Republicans have made him a “proxy” to attack President Obama in an election year.
In his first interview since Thursday’s vote, Holder said lawmakers have used an investigation of a botched gun-tracking operation as a way to seek retribution against the Justice Department for its policies on a host of issues, including immigration, voting rights and gay marriage. He said the chairman of the committee leading the inquiry, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), is engaging in political theater as the Justice Department tries to focus on public safety.
“I’ve been doing all of these things all the time Darrell Issa and his band have been nipping at my heels,” a defiant Holder said. “They’ve been nipping, but I’ve been walking.”

So Congressmen are dogs. That should win Holder a lot of points on Capitol Hill.
If Holder, had produced the docuements the show was over. No theater. His choice.
Attacking Big Sis should be #2 on the agenda.
Oh Eric,you POS-don’t flatter yourself.
Sounds like contempt of congress to me.
It’s all about the narrative.
If Holder had a pair, he’d be a team player and take himself out of the game. There are probably some fries guy jobs still open in Chicago.
Holder is a sorry excuse...
Cretin doesn’t even know what a proxy is. Probably gets confused between jurisdiction and venue as well.
This would be hilarious if his arrogance didn’t make it so serious.
Holder has this completely backwards, though if this is problematic for the Narcissist in Chief, then that is a positive thing for America.
He completely doesn’t understand that the focus is on him, and rightfully so. I must say, he thinks he will beat this. He thinks time is on his side, and I think he is correct.
But...there is still time enough.
Eric the Corrupt considers himself a proxy for attacks on the Food Stamp President .... more likely is that he will soon become Eric “thrown under the bus” Holder.
My bad. Whoever scribbled the headline did not know what a proxy is.
LOL. He’s right of course. Only the Senate can get Obama. Not going to happen. Who’s next in the lineup of the guilty? Answer: Eric Holder.
Of course that’s not what Mr. Holder means by “proxy”. He’s talking about skin color of all things. Give me a break.
Well, Congress does have the power to arrest him.

Help me out here,folks! Does our esteemed (but not by me) Attorney Corporal utter the word “racist” at any point during the interview? (I can’t read it myself lest I lose my dinner).
Rumor has it that he has great difficulty explaining what the definition of the word "is" is.
Holder is a racial coward and a slimebag. Keep the pressure on him.
