Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Sunday, March 14, 2010

Attorney General Eric Holder failed to tell the Senate about seven legal briefs he signed when lawmakers considered his nomination to his current job, the Department of Justice announced Friday. Two involved detained terrorism suspect Jose Padilla. The department sent the Senate Judiciary Committee a list of omitted briefs. "We regret the omission," Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich said.

Great. This solidifies his bona fides as the head of our DOJ.

Anyone care to explain or defend?

At what point do BHO supporters give up the ghost?

"We regret the omission," Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich said in a letter to the panel.

Nice.

Not as much as America does.

Two of the briefs involved appeals to the Supreme Court for Jose Padilla, who sought release from a military prison in South Carolina where he was being held after then-President George W. Bush designated him an "enemy combatant."

How is this no surprise?

How could the vetting process even miss this??

How could he omit 2 briefs on the same topic of Padilla??

This is just more of the same--the Senate knew his views on terrorists even without the ommitted briefs. (FALN) And they confirmed him anyway.

Once a rat--always a rat..

Another classic example of the Peter Principle---what really sticks in my craw is how he got that corporate criminal, Marc Rich, pardoned.

A Democrat caught up in a scandal? I'm appauled!

No worries, Barry's got his back & the Dem's own both houses...Nothing to see here folks...just move along....

C'mon November!

After all We are a Nation of Cowards!

As usual release them on a friday afternoon and hope their disciples move on by Monday.

Hey the system worked, cowards!

marc Rich says move along nothing to see here.....

Don't you just love the transparent government we have.

Arrogance and elitism are some of the kinder ways to describe Holder who is a typical product of that den of know-it all liberalism - Columbia.

Another good example of O's woeful lack of practical experience and good, grounded executive judgment.

After much adult diaper damage among the pants pissing crowd, the facts reveal that nothing in the 7 briefs came anywhere near the stench in the aforementioned diapers.

If this was under Bush this web site would be flowing with "crucify him" comments.....but hypocracy thy name is Democrats.

However, some are starting to see the light...my father in law who has NEVER voted for a Republican in his ENTIRE life told me yesterday that he thinks he was wrong voting for Obama and never would again.

He said a bunch of his friends feel the same way...basically the out of control spending and the massive numbers of lies has gotten to them.

It gets to the point where people either will be partisan for their party or Americans and stand up for basic honesty and the rule of law.

All 7 were publicly available. Is someone purporting he deliberately withheld them? Who?

Oh, Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) and Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.)

Move along. Any doofus could have found every single one of Holder's briefs with a simple search on Westlaw. Out of thousands of pages he submitted this is a horrible breach of trust or something? Publicly available briefs? Guess we should be glad the GOP are at least doing something with their time.

Well,

7 briefs make one week......especially since they probably are tightie-whities.

Would you mind providing me links to these 7 briefs that were public prior to Holders confirmation? Westlaw, a pay law site is not publically available.

But it was a nice deflection job since it was a requirement of Holder to submit ALL briefs, not ones he elected to submit and leave the others for people to go find. It boils down to the same thing as lying on a resume.

if there is a court case, and we are told to hand over any correspondence, missing even a single record can be grounds for termination.

Missing 7 entire briefs, out of the limited number he worked on, is an amazing "oops" and would cost almost anyone in the private sector their job, if they were lucky, or jail time if a judge thought it was done to conceal information.

Termination is one option, sure.

But if you're Ollie North, and you get your sexytary to smuggle them out in her blouse, you become a hero of the right-wing.

Get rid of Holder. He's not prosecuting admitted war criminals, so what fucking good is he?

***"But if you're Ollie North, and you get your sexytary to smuggle them out in her blouse, you become a hero of the right-wing."***

So does that make Sandy Burger a hero of the left wing?

AAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW ythis hope and change thiing seems to be working....

BTW, what does Ollie North have to do with this?

JW 72
And we wouldn't want to handling the materials after being retrieved from Sandy's hiding place!

Ollie's stuff may be a different matter.

JM
