I simply cannot sit idly by as a Majority Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform suggests, as happened this week, that law enforcement and government employees who devote their lives to protecting our citizens be considered “accessories to murder.” Such irresponsible and inflammatory rhetoric must be repudiated in the strongest possible terms.

Right, anybody who holds Holder and his minions responsible for giving guns to murderers is "irresponsible."

Ok, let's just say that Holder knew nothing about Gun Walker or Fast and Furious, this makes him incompetent at the very least and he needs to be fired and tried for criminal negligence for not being aware of what his departments were doing. Either he was in charge or he wasn't, if he was then it happened on his shift and there is no excuse for him not to know about it.

We know, of course, that he is lying his a** off and knew about it and him and Bozo probably planned it together.

However, either way you look at it, he belongs in jail.

I cannot help but note that at the same time that some members of Congress understandably criticize the Fast and Furious operation, they vehemently refuse to consider whether ATF has the resources and legal tools it needs to do its job

He's defending Fast and Furious. Wow.

“Holder, by his nature, is hubretic and a liar and an intriguer.”

A perfect alter ego for Obama.

...could not be more important – the development of an arms trafficking prosecution...

Informative post. Holder knew, and since he plainly asserted that nothing could be more important than this topic, there can be only two interpretations: (1) his boss knew or (2) he failed to keep his boss informed about a key international commitment. He can't have it both ways.

“Pretty pathetic attempt if you ak me.”

You’re right. It is sophomoric and peevish. Nowhere near as polished as you would expect from someone at his level.

“So...as Reno’s Number 2 at Justice at the time, do you really THINK Holder had no place in the events at Waco?”

Holder did not become Reno’s Number 2 at Justice until 1997.
Philip Heymann was # 2 from 1993 to 1994 when he was succeeded by the infamous Jamie Gorelick who served till Holder took over.
Like they say you are entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts. The rest of you comments are not on the subject of Ruby Ridge or Waco.

If anyone is at fault for the clearing the government at Waco it is Danforth and the US Attorney Bill Johnson (who failed to turn over some evidence , but particularly Danforth who has done as much to screw up the oversight of Bill Clinton’s government as anyone.

Looks like the WH has a big problem. Ms. Attkisson is immume to the stream of favors that they pass out in return for favorable coverage.

He didn’t forget his marxist talking points about ‘gun control’ though. Why let a crisis go to waste?

Eric Holder was the US Atty in Washington, DC, where the Ruby Ridge matter was referred for investigation. Holder recused himself. So, you are correct; he was not directly involved. I have not been able to find a stated reason for his recusal.

When Solyndra hit the fan in August, White House energy adviser Heather Zichal may have summed it up best.
"*#~@ show," Zichal wrote in an email Aug. 25.

IOW, direct from the pen of Eric Holder, one should conclude that the ends justify the means. That is his closing paragraph.

*#!@*%% seems to be very popular in the regime. No surprise that the media is not shocked — I guess they are used to it.
