House Dems Disgraceful at Holder Hearing

They showed up to protect the president, and showed no interest in justice for the dead.

Today, as he has during five previous appearances in front of congressional committees regarding Fast and Furious, Attorney General Eric Holder feigned being poorly prepared and claimed to know little or nothing about the program — even more than a year after it was shut down.

I give him more benefit of the doubt than he deserves by claiming Holder feigned being poorly prepared; the alternative is that he simply doesn’t care that federal laws were broken under his watch, and that people on both sides of the border died as a result.

But Holder’s shameful testimony was overshadowed by the disgraceful Ranking Member Elijah Cummings, Edolphus Towns, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Lacy Clay, Carolyn Maloney, and the other Democrats in the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform’s minority.
