HOLDER EXPLODES AT LOUIE GOHMERT: ‘YOU DON’T WANT TO GO THERE, BUDDY’
During a House Judiciary Committee Hearing on Tuesday, Attorney General Eric Holder became visibly upset when Rep. Louis Gohmert suggested that being in contempt of Congress didn’t appear to matter to the Attorney General.
After Holder dismissed Gohmert’s requests for documents relating to congressional investigations, Gohmert said, “I realize that contempt is not a big deal to our Attorney General, but it is important that we have proper oversight.”
“You don’t want to go there buddy!” Holder responded. “You don’t want to go there, OK?”
“You should not assume that uh that is not a big deal to me,” Holder continued. “I think it was inappropriate, I think it was unjust, but never think that it was not a big deal to me. Don’t ever think that.”
Gohmert insisted that Republicans were focused on getting to the bottom of the Fast and Furious gun running scandal.
“I don’t need lectures from you about contempt,” Gohmert fired back.
“And I don’t need lectures from you either,” Holder responded.
Eric Holder Feb 2013: ‘Contempt Vote Didn’t Have Huge Impact On Me’
Republicans have every reason to believe that being held in contempt is not “a big deal” to Eric Holder based on Eric Holder’s own words. In an exclusive interview with ABC News’ Pierre Thomas on February 27, 2013, Holder was asked about how he reacted when House Republicans voted with 17 Democrats to hold him in contempt of Congress over the ATF’s “Fast and Furious” gun running scandal.
“It’s something that I think was unfortunate,” Holder said. “I think it’s a result of this kind of partisan sport that I think we engage in here in Washington far too often.”
Holder said the votes it didn’t bother him, considering who cast them.
“But I have to tell you that for me to really be affected by what happened,I’d have to have respect for the people who voted in that way,”Holder told ABC News. “And I didn’t, so it didn’t have that huge an impact on me.”
It’s a sad time for the country when neither the President nor the Attorney General of the United States is an honest person.

Hasn’t Mr Holder and his department ‘stalled’ long enough? F/F is not going to go away. Even though Mr. Holder ‘hopes’ it will… is this why he continually drags his feet?
I have to laugh how he ‘feels’ certain (true)comments are ‘unjust’….what about those brave men’s deaths Mr Holder? They are dead because of you. Don’t you ‘feel’ their deaths ‘unjust’ as well Mr Holder?
Didn’t he announce he was going to resign his position? The sooner the better…
Mr. Holder…you- are the coward ‘not the nation’ as you so arrogantly assert….
““You don’t want to go there buddy!” Holder responded. “You don’t want to go there, OK?”

@Bill:
Can you imagine if a conservative popped off and called a democrat member of Congress “Buddy” in a testy response like that? Wasn’t it Boxer who demanded a General call her “Senator” instead of “Ma’am”?
Holder should not only be found in contempt, but should be impeached and imprisoned for his criminal behavior as AG. He is a despicable worm.
@Pete:
Were Holder a Republican who broke into a psychiatrists office, he would be in jail.
What you are seeing is the absolute lawlessness never before seen in the history of the presidency.
He is a dirt bag. Never could find the sealed changes agianst him.
@Pete: He was found in contempt because he is contemptable.
Holder has been held in contempt, and got bitch slapped by Louie Gohmert. No surprise he shows up today at Al (Freddie’s Fashion Mart) Sharpton’s National Action Network conference playing the race card:
HOLDER: “I have been proud to stand along side of you in supporting efforts to advance the cause of justice (dog whistle for race baiting) that has always been at the center of this , this administrations work ()I am pleased to note that the last five years have been defined by significant strides and lasting reforms, even in the face, even in the face, of unprecedented, unwarranted ugly adversity (ugly diversity = racism). And if you don’t believe that, you look at the way …forget about me… forget about me , you look at the way the Attorney General of the Untied States was treated yesterday by a House committee (i.e. doesn’t Louie Gohmert know that I am something really, really special and he should great me on bended knee?). Had nothing to do with me what Attorney General has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment? (no, it had to do with Brian Terry and the deaths of hundreds of Mexican nationals) What President has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment.” (lookie, lookie, I have hear not one, but two dogged eared race cards; one for me and one for Barack)
Holder, bastard that he is, belongs in jail in a cell with Obama on one side and Al Sharpton on the other.
@retire05: So, the Attorney General of the United States got to the Mafia-informant to get sympathy for getting spoken down to for not enforcing US law? I guess the earth is absolutely wobbled off its axis altogether.
To clarify, no one becomes a mob informant out of kindness. They do so when they get caught doing something they would rather not go to jail for. In Sharpton’s case, he was caught running a front operation that was scamming government funds intended to go to minority businesses (Sharpton, standing up for the little guy and the down-trodden) AND got caught in a sting trying to arrange for a major drug purchase. Then he became an FBI snitch, taping mob conversations and setting up wise guys for prosecution. This is who our AG runs to for a sympathetic ear.
Perhaps Holder doesn’t know Sharpton was an FBI informant; perhaps if he reads this, it will be the first he has heard of it.
@Bill Burris:
Crooks, like ducks, stick with their own.
Obama will probably tell him. You know that Obama gets all his information from the new papers.
I wonder who is really more despicable though. Is it the criminals and liars like Obama, Reid, Holder, Lehrner, et al? Or is it the contemptibly biased news media who steadfastly refuses to go after the leftist perps, when we all know full well if these same crimes were being committed by republicans the investigative tenacity of the MSM would be limitless, and the spotlight would shine hot right up to the next elections?
Compare the rabid news coverage of Palin’s daughter’s pregnancy, along with the efforts to get the boyfriend to make uncomplimentary statements about Palin, with the lack of interest in the criminal acts of Lehrner….the fact the AG has behaved so dishonestly he has been found in contempt of Congress – yet still has his job – leftists are reprehensible.
@Pete: “I wonder who is really more despicable though. Is it the criminals and liars like Obama, Reid, Holder, Lehrner, et al? Or is it the contemptibly biased news media” Too close to call, really. While these villains have the desire to do wrong in their hearts, they would either not attempt it if the media was doing their due diligence or would get caught, exposed and deposed. One could not exist without the other.
Bill
that’s what get me scratching my head,
how come they are still there?
or is it that the other want to wait for the next years of election day,
thinking they might win that election,
which will be again voted by dead voters and illegals and their loyal corrupt people,
paid for getting the voting machines switch to the democrat side,
then if so evident we the people have no chance of changing the government, which ever side it sway,
because the lost of trust on both side is clear ,
does we did miss RON PAUL BY A HAIR, WHEN HE WAS HOT AND SCARING THEM BOTH PARTY,
YES MITT ROMNEY WAS RIGHT TO MENTION THE 47,
WHAT WAS THE BIG FUSS FOR HIM TELLING THE TRUTH,
WHO NOW, AFTER ALL THE CHANCES THEY HAD TO PUT THE CRIMINAL IN PRISON,
WHO CAN CLAIM THEY CAN RUN THIS AMERICA PROPERLY, IF THEY USE THE SAME TACTIC? DELAY THE JUSTICE TO BE DONE,
PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW ,WHAT THEY HAVE IN THEIR GUTTS, THIS TIME, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PUSH TO WANT THE BLOOD COLOR, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY,
YOU HAVE TO BE OUT FRONT AND GIVE ACTIONS WITH WORDS, SO TO GET THE PEOPLE AT 100 %
ON YOUR SIDE, BECAUSE THE ONES USING CRIME ARE ORGANIZE WITH THE UNION AND SOLID
THEY KNOW WHAT TO DO TO SCREW THE ELECTION AGAIN,
HEY BUDDY YOU DON'T WANT TO GO THIS WAY, NO DON’T GO THIS WAY,

and where does that money go? tell us, the people want to know what OBAMA DOES WITH IT,
@Bees#14 – Hi Bees – I think the whole town is behind the rancher…for whatever THAT is worth these days here in the US…Unbelievable right?
The Feds will harass him, but allow ALLOW illegals in this country…then make it so their citizenship or ‘legality’ cannot be questioned

The Liberals whine the Republicans want to go backwards….another liberal fallacy…when in FACT everything the liberals DO is back-ass-wards.. and it is absoutely stunning….

it”s like a thirst for him, anger, punishment vengeance, vote for revenge, PENALTY, AND MORE OF,
all words of hateful person, who thrive on hurting , and intimidate,
but some are getting so angry they fight back even if they have to pay high fees,
OBAMA SAID THEY ARE DISRESPECTED BECAUSE OF RACE,
NO SIR, WE HAVE LIVED WITH OTHER RACES BEFORE YOU,
AND NOT HAVE SO MANY ANGRY AS TODAY,
IT’S YOUR ANGER AND WISH TO PUNISH AND HURTING THE TOLERANT PEOPLE,

we saw they turn their dogs on the protestors,
you don’t deserve to have a dog, little creep, you abuse your job,
they are angry for a good reason ,you just have to respect it,
you all are the invaders in there, get the hell out of there,
this land is NOT YOURES, LEAVE THE COWBOY ALONE,
THEY HAVE WORK TO DO,
and they separate the mother from their calves,
the rancher is worried they will dye,
they took his cattle from him, and stuck them in trucks,
why did it have to go so far? it did not have to,
it’s the administration mindset
this is one of the most take over of AMERICA AND IMPOSITION ON THE GOOD PEOPLE,
OH IT’S RACE RACIST, THAT IS TOO EASY, IT DOESN’T WORK ANYMORE, ASK BEN CARSON,
