Holder on Gohmert: What attorney general has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?
dailycaller.com ^ | 4/9/14 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 04/09/2014 10:58:19 AM PDT by cotton1706

Eric Holder ventured off script in a speech Wednesday to the National Action Network, the organization led by MSNBC host and recently-exposed FBI informant Al Sharpton.

“I’m pleased to note that the last five years have been defined by significant strides and by lasting reforms,” said Holder at the conference of black activists, before improvising “even in the face, even in the face, of unprecedented, unwarranted, ugly, and divisive adversity.”

“If you don’t believe that, if you look at the way, forget about me, forget about me, if you look at the way the attorney general of the United States was treated yesterday by a House Committee, it had nothing to do with me, forget that, what attorney general has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?”

Holder’s remarks — not contained in the text of the speech published at the website for the Department of Justice — were in reference to a terse exchange he had Tuesday with Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert in a House Judiciary Committee hearing about documents related to a terror trial. (RELATED: Eric Holder explodes at GOP rep: ‘You don’t want to go there buddy!’)

“I realize that contempt is not a big deal to our attorney general, but it is important that we have proper oversight,” Gohmert said. He was referring to the House of Representatives holding Holder in contempt of Congress in 2012 for refusing to release documents related to the Fast and Furious scandal.

“You don’t want to go there, buddy! You don’t want to go there, okay,” said an angry Holder.

“I don’t want to go there?” Gohmert responded.

“You should not assume that that is not a big deal to me,” Holder said.

No Attorney General of The United States should ever talk to a Representative of the citizens of The United States that way. Holder spoke like a two-bit, cowardly Chicago con artist.

Sharpton’s conference deals with a host of issues related to civil rights, including justice system reform and gun control.....Did Sharpton have a bullet proof vest over his head?

The only ones I can think of are the ones who were guilty of multiple felonies...you and John Mitchell. And you have John Mitchell beat six ways from Sunday in the rap sheet department, little pal.

fast and furious. Benghazi coverup. Refusal to prosecute black panthers. Joy over prosecuting a White man for the exact same crime that is being committed by “his people” against White people.
Arrogance.
Willingness to lie to protect the big guy.

Ashcroft, Gonzoles, Meese, Mitchell. Guess Holder must have been referring to RAT attorneys general.

Holder was objecting, not to the idea that he was in contempt, but that he was lawless enough to not care that he was in contempt.

“You don’t want to go there, buddy?” That is punk talk from a racist punk.

Cry for us Eric the Red, while someone plays the world's tiniest violin.
BTW, what AG ever made such an arrogant fool of himself defending his own serial corrupt actions like you do?

What AG has ever been this corrupt and unaccountable? These people make Nixon’s boys look like cub scouts.

I think until after the elections this fall, Holder is the perfect poster boy for the arrogant racist Obama administration.

Holder has got to be good for 5% of the independents voting for the republicans.

Don’t touch a hair on Holders balding head until the Senate is Red.

Janet Reno was lambasted in congresssional hearings over Waco (justifiably) and to my knowledge never whined about it. But Erica immediately has to pull out the race card.

No attorney general has been a complete sleezebag...

Janet Reno came pretty close (Eric Holder's old boss) but he has definitely passed her.

I hope Holder spends time where his predecessor John Mitchell did, at the federal prison on Maxwell AFB.

The AG needs to be pursued fast and furious.
