Gohmert to Holder Over Fast and Furious: I Don't Need a Lecture From You About Contempt!
Townhall.com ^ | April 8, 2014 | Katie Pavlich

During a hearing today on Capitol Hill, an exchange between Attorney General Eric Holder and Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert became heated over Operation Fast and Furious and contempt of Congress charges. Holder, who is still in contempt for refusing to provide documents related to the lethal operation, became offended when Gohmert implied he didn't think contempt charges were "a big deal." Holder told Gohmert he "didn't want to go there" and said he believed the contempt vote taken against him by Democrats and Republicans in June 2012 was unjust. Holder also slammed the "gun lobby." Gohmert, who served three terms as a District Judge in Texas, shot back by saying there has been no indication he thought contempt charges were a problem considering the Department still hasn't complied with major document requests and that he didn't need a lecture from someone currently in contempt, about contempt.

The Republican had better watch his mail for letters from the IRS.

This sounds like a threat from Holder. Anyone else consider the AG threatened a Congressman?

Of course Holder knows all about "contempt." He has nothing but contempt for "the great unwashed," (i.e. the American public), the law, and the Constitution of the United States.

And he's a "contemptible" human being. He "knows" where the bodies are buried. He engineered the Marc Rich & Puerto Rican terrorist presidential pardons during the Clinton administration.

He has no problem with trading the lives of hundreds of innocent Mexican citizens (the only Mexican's he seems to like are the illegal aliens in the US) in order to advance gun control in the US. He's as low as they get, which makes him the PERFECT AG for the most lawless regime in US history, the Obama regime.

Pigment and ideology. The left can never be touched, because no matter what they do, their motives are soooo good. They just want to control us swine for our own good.

Holder does not seem scared by Congress AT ALL:

Fiery exchange…? I’m not really sure I see the intensity and outrage.

I have never seen a more brazenly arrogant and corrupt bastard for a public servant.

And those are his good points.

The King Obama Administration is so pack with communists criminals that America is finished. If we manage to get the Senate, keep the House and get the Presidency in 2016 it will be time to enforce and jail these rotten criminals.
