What a week. I have to admit…I’m a little dizzy from all the liberal spin this week.
While these KNOT HEADS chase their own tails at warp speed, I have to sit by WATCHING them.
Don’t these nuts know they can kiss their own butts without the whirling rampage? Honestly, I never know whether to be completely appalled or mildly entertained by it all.
I suppose, a little of both. Oh well…It IS Friday and either way…
I’m fuming.
So…There was Eric Holder, appearing in front of a Senate hearing a few days ago, where he actually said that he was showing consistent values and…
“I STUCK TO MY GUNS.”
Look…maybe it’s just me but…IF HE HAD STUCK JUST A LITTLE CLOSER TO HIS GUNS…HE’D KNOW WHERE THEY ARE NOW…WOULDN’T HE?????
It seems to me that if this moron would PART with about 72,400 documents, memos and emails AS QUICKLY AS HE DID WITH THOSE GUNS….Congress wouldn’t be heading FAST AND FURIOUSLY TOWARD CONTEMPT CHARGES!!!
Now, the head of the DEPARTMENT OF INJUSTICE wants to cut a deal with Issa…What did he call it…Oh yeah…

Re: Holder’s Contempt
Dear Member of Congress,
Today, We The People speak with a singular voice as this letter, distributed via social media and our own email lists, is forwarded to each and every Member of Congress.
We understand that, finally, Congress is ready to vote on contempt charges against Eric Holder.
It’s about time.
It has now been more than a year since Holder started obstructing justice and stonewalling Congress and the American people regarding Fast and Furious.
Now, we are led to understand, there is still a way for Holder to escape contempt charges if he simply turns over a few, post February 4th, 2011, documents.
This is outrageous and unacceptable!
As one of We The People, this must NOT be allowed to happen.
The Congressional Committee investigating Fast and Furious has subpoenaed some 80,000 documents, emails and memos from Eric Holder. Holder has only turned over 7,600 of those subpoenaed documents.
We The People demand that the ONLY way for Holder to escape contempt charges is to immediately turn over all documents, emails and memos subpoenaed. ALL OF THEM. All 72,400 subpoenaed but so far withheld documents.
As the vote is set to take place on June 20th, 2012, We The People demand that no Member of Congress accept ANYTHING LESS than the FULL compliance to the subpoenas by that scheduled date.
Should Eric Holder attempt or agree to turn over just SOME of the remainder of what has been subpoenaed, he is stalling for more time. He has already been given more than a year to comply.
Let me ask this question. Were I, as a common citizen, subpoenaed to turn over evidence in an investigation and, for more than a year, I refused to give some 90% of the subpoenaed evidence TO the investigators…What exactly would be MY fate?
If upon then handing over a small handful of more evidence, in the face of contempt charges, but FAR from all I had been ordered to produce…Would I then be “off the hook?”
I believe we both know the answers.
Why then should the Attorney General, appointed as our nation’s top law enforcement officer, be given such latitude? Why should the Attorney General be allowed to essentially tell but 10% of the truth under oath? Why is the Attorney General NOT held accountable to the same standards as We The People?
Eric Holder has, for more than a year, obstructed justice from the top of the Department OF Justice. He has shown open contempt for Congress and the American people and he has perjured himself.
As a Member of Congress, the time is long overdue for you to act and act decisively. Do NOT provide Eric Holder with another chance, another pass and more time to stall this important investigation. People on both sides of our southern border have died because of Fast and Furious and so has agent Brian Terry. The weapons “walked” over that border will be in play for years…Decades…to come and the more than 200 deaths thus far are just the beginning.
Will YOU, as a Member of Congress, take this opportunity to act decisively or will YOU allow further obstruction of justice by striking some sort of “deal” to allow Eric Holder to stall, stonewall, and continue to break the laws by which I, as a common citizen, must abide?
If Eric Holder is NOT held FULLY accountable and allowed to turn over but 10% of the subpoenaed material, a dangerous and unconstitutional precedent will be set in that the nation’s top law enforcement officer will be held to a much lower standard than the common citizen.
If YOU, as a Member of Congress, accept some sort of “DEAL” in this regard, YOU will set that precedent.
Please do NOT respond to me personally. Rather, reply to this letter via The National Patriot at admin@thenationalpatriot.com as the author of this letter which is being sent to all Members of Congress, WILL print it for all to see.
Fed up American Voters with the ID’s to prove it and a focus on accountability, await your response.
Listening to Holder feign amnesia in one congressional hearing after another is nauseating. He’s done it 8 times now and I have had quite enough.
The committees have subpoenaed some 80,000 documents, emails and memos from Eric Holder and he has turned over only 7,600 of them.
Holder himself yesterday admitted to having 140,000 such documents but upon questioning from Congressman Issa as to how many subpoenaed documents he has YET to turn over, Holder would only say that he has turned over 7,600.
Speaker Boehner, in not answering questions, in stonewalling, in lying, in claiming he does not recall dates, conversation or reading documents, in claiming he has no idea who knew what, when they knew it or who if anybody they told, Eric Holder is clearly showing contempt for the congressional committees.
We all watched and listened to the sound bites from yesterday’s hearing. We all heard time and time again…”I don’t know,” “I don’t recall,” I was not aware,” and on and on and on.
We heard the contentious back and forth with Congressman Issa and we listened while Holder refused to answer question. We heard it and I suspect, you did as well.
All of that was rehashed non answers of questions asked and not answered by Holder in 7 previous hearings but there was something new. Something startling. Something which did not get much notice yesterday, but I want to bring it to your attention today.
This was the give and take between Eric Holder and Congressman Jason Chaffetz.
In this, you will hear, point blank and no question about it, Eric Holder PERJURE himself before the congressional committee.
PERJURY, Mr. Speaker.
Watch and listen.
From an email dated Oct 17th, 2010, from Deputy Assistant Attorney General Jason Weinstein to James Trusty:
“Do you think we should have Lanny participate in press when Fast and Furious and Laura’s Tucson case [Wide Receiver] are unsealed? It’s a tricky case, given the number of guns that have walked, but it is a significant set of prosecutions.”
Then on Oct. 18th, 2010, from Trusty back to Weinstein:
“I think so, but the timing will be tricky, too. Looks like we’ll be able to unseal the Tucson case sooner than the Fast and Furious (although this may be just the difference between Nov. and Dec).”
“It’s not clear how much we’re involved in the main F and F [Fast and Furious] case,” reads the email, “but we have Tucson [Wide Receiver] and now a new unrelated case with [redacted] targets. It’s not any big surprise that a bunch of US guns are being used in MX [Mexico], so I’m not sure how much grief we get for ‘guns walking.’ It may be more like ‘Finally, they’re going after people who sent guns down there.’”
Mr. Speaker, with the words being read aloud to him by Congressman Chaffetz, Eric Holder stood his ground and told Congressman Chaffetz that those emails DID NOT REFER TO FAST AND FURIOUS.
Mr. Speaker…clearly…Eric Holder is lying and THAT, sir, is perjury.
For Eric Holder to insist, over and over again, that these emails do not refer to Fast and Furious when he is told over and over again by Congressman Chaffetz that they clearly do because they indeed mention Fast and Furious by name is both showing contempt for the Congressional Committee and committing perjury.
No more delays, Mr. Speaker. No more waiting. No more chances, Mr. Speaker.
I call on you to bring charges of contempt and perjury against Eric Holder NOW.
You, sir, have allowed Eric Holder more than a year to comply, and it is obvious to the world that he has no intention of doing so; and to allow this travesty to continue is, in and of itself, a travesty and any who would allow the continuation of it are themselves guilty of aiding and abetting the contempt, the perjury and the travesty.
Not for one more day Mr. Speaker, should the Attorney General, the head of the Department of Justice, be allowed to obstruct justice!
“We have an obligation to make sure the voter rolls are accurate and we are going to continue forward and do everything that we can legally do to make sure than ineligible voters cannot vote. We are firmly committed to doing the right thing and preventing ineligible voters from being able to cast a ballot. We are not going to give up our efforts to make sure the voter rolls are accurate.”
That is the message from the Florida Attorney General’s office regarding Eric Holders desperate demand that the state cease and desist in purging voter rolls of illegal aliens who are registered to vote illegally.
Florida has had quite enough and one can see fit to they are not alone in that sentiment.
Where exactly does this leave Holder? In a not so enviable position really.
Section 5 is the basis for his argument but, it’s a long shot at this point. Section 5 protects minorities from illegal practices regarding voting in several southern states where, admittedly in the past, such things took place. Voter intimidation, refusal to register minorities etc.
Now, due to Section 5, those states must okay any change in voter law with the nation’s Department of Justice.
Holder is really, really reaching to use Section 5 in this way. Really reaching.
A couple of days ago, in what can only be seen as a non partisan, clearly not racial, and certainly a prime example of the separation of church and state they liberals so heavily preach in favor of sort of event, Eric Holder spoke to a group of black religious leaders and the Congressional Black Caucus about…
How they could use their pulpits to help reelect Barack Hussein Obama.
So…there he was, the Attorney General of the United States, who is under investigation and possibly facing contempt of congress charges, speaking to black preachers and black caucus members.
As we head into the back straight of the 2012 election, speeding toward November 6th, expecting the dirtiest campaign in history, one thing is clear.
Obama only needs about 2 dozen more.
2 dozen more…what…exactly?
Distractions.
About 1 per week should do it. 24 weeks…24 distractions.
This week’s distraction is, of course, gay marriage. He’s for it again. Oh yes, Obama was against it then he was for it before he was against it again and then he was evolving and now…he’s for it…again.
In this week’s distraction, he rolled out a new pre-distraction distraction. Joe Biden who went on the Sunday shows and let it slip that he had no problem with gay marriage. OH THE HUMANITY of yet another Biden gaff. This was no gaff. This was a planned distraction to pave the way FOR the distraction.
Congressman Darrel Issa, Chairman of the House Committee investigating Fast and Furious, has reportedly prepared and sent to Speaker Boehner, a 48-page charge of contempt against Attorney General Eric Holder.
One of the top Democrats on the House Oversight Committee has slammed Congressman Issa’s move regarding contempt charges against Eric Holder as “an election-year witch hunt against the Obama administration.”
A witch hunt?
One can easily believe such a hunt to be as difficult as finding golf balls on a driving range.
Last week, Issa would not confirm the reported 48-page charge but would not deny it either.
So far, Holder has produced nearly 7,400 pages of documents, emails and memos. The issue is that the committee has requested a handful more than 80,000 pages of them and Holder has been stalling, delaying, sidestepping and dodging those demands.
He has also been warned.
In truth, Holder has been provided more than enough time to come forth with the documents in question and he has failed to do so. Also a fact, is that Obama has continued to back Holder and Holder’s actions.
What a week. I have to admit…I’m a little dizzy from all the liberal spin this week.

They do walk among us. Really, they do.
