Attorney General Eric Holder testified before the House Oversight Committee again today. As with his previous appearances, we were treated to a litany of evasions and excuses. Long story short: he doesn’t know what’s going on in his department, and he claims to have had no knowledge of any gunwalking operations prior to the death of Brian Terry.
It’s been over a year since he promised an internal investigation, and he has yet to provide any explanation or any proof of action. Representative Labrador pointed out that Holder continues to show up for Congressional hearings unprepared, and that he seems oblivious to happenings at Justice. Representative Farenthold took it a step further, asking Holder, “knowing what you know, do you think you’re qualified to lead the Department of Justice?”
Holder’s response? “If you’re going to ask me to resign (…) you’ve asked the wrong question.”
I don’t think we are.
