“There will be no Fifth Amendment Theater tomorrow of the Phoenix US Attorneys being forced to say their ‘I-don't-wannas’ in front of the cameras,” Mike Vanderboegh of Sipsey Street Irregulars files in an exclusive report today from Washington, DC.
There will be only one panel of one -- Eric Holder. This is viewed by many who have been following the investigation as a serious mistake. Said one, "More simple browbeating of Eric Eric Holder without dramatic new evidence to impeach his story is going to look petty, mean and impotent.
Perhaps. After all, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa has pledged “We are still going to bring him forward” in response to Chief of the Criminal Division in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Arizona Patrick Cunningham’s decision to invoke his right not to self-incriminate after being subpoenaed to testify. And Issa has further demanded Justice stop blocking testimony from Cunningham underling Michael Morrissey. Advertisement
Compound this with a return shot from Committee Democrats attempting to absolve their administration allies, an outraged response from Sen. Chuck Grassley of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and yesterday’s stunning, knives-are-out ultimatum by Issa to charge stonewalling Attorney General Eric Holder with contempt of Congress, and it would appear an opportunity to show the American people an ongoing cover-up happening before their eyes may be lost.
And perhaps not. Again, per Vanderboegh:

“cloaked in a thin veneer of polish.”
We need for the country to be reminded...LOUD and clear!
Why is a Shar Pei sitting in Rep Cummings chair?
Issa: I thank you for appearing three times in three separate hearings on the subject of Fast and Furious.
Cummings attempts to clean up a portion of the Gowdy/Holder testimony at the end of the hearing.
Not a single one of those Dems was worth a damn... Partisan, ignorant, prevaricating sacks of crap. Every single one of them.
Is it over I get a black screen here
I missed it.Did Holder stutter?
“Not a single one of those Dems was worth a damn... Partisan, ignorant, prevaricating sacks of crap. Every single one of them.”
See my post #210
It is stunning that there is not an independent thinker among them-—let alone an intelligent one.
I got disconnected on Issa’s streaming website also.
It cut off right before Holder’s “last word” that Issa promised him.
Their objective is to confuse and bore listeners so they tune out.
So far, it's working for them. I hope it all cracks and comes tumbling down around their ears.
This is true evil on display.
Yes, Thank you. I was typing in haste.
That’s pretty much politics in general. This was theater for them to use to provide cover for later on.
I missed the entire thing.I searched to watch it and this is what I got; was this today for sure?

yes, that was from today. C-Span should post the complete video.
The hearing was over 4 hours and the live thread provides excellent comments to follow if you want to jump to the most important parts.
If you listen to the full video, you can cut your time in half by skipping the Dems. They were worthless and provided nothing but the mantra buzz words and group talking points.
Yes. That was from today. For sure.
Yes. Yes he is...
That comes from being a criminal and knowing that you are above the law.
I’m ready for the “pitch forks and torches” option when y’all are. I’ve been saying it for years... The System is incapable of fixing itself.
Hearing is over, some repubs tried to get answers, but holder did his usual “I think it might have been blah, blah, blah.” Members were limited by the 5 minute rule, so just when they were starting to get somewhere, time would run out. Dems did their usual “Bush’s fault etc., etc.” Holder still stonewalling on documents. Hopefully, Issa will issue a contempt citation for non-production.
