Sen. Cornyn calls on Holder to resign

Quote
[snip]

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) on Tuesday called on Attorney General Eric Holder to resign.

Cornyn, the head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), has long been critical of Holder, but had so far resisted pushing for Holder to step down.

However, at Tuesday's meeting of Senate Judiciary Committee hearing where Holder was the only witness, Cornyn said it was time for the attorney general to go.

“You’ve violated the public trust in my view and by failing and refusing to perform the duties of your office,” he said.

“Mr. Attorney General, it is more with sorrow than anger that I would say that you leave me no alternative but to join those who call upon you to resign your office.”

“The American people deserve better; they deserve an attorney general who is accountable and independent; they deserve an attorney general who puts justice before politics,” said Cornyn. “And it’s my sincere hope that President Obama will replace you with someone who’s up to that challenge.”

My Senator. Not always thrilled with him but, this was well done & the lamestream will have to cover it. It really helped when Hold-em started yammering about a constitutional crisis.  Next stop, we get to watch Carney squirming in front of the WH press.

I love watching Carney stammer and sputter when the press hammers him. I wonder if he still believes in Obama or just feels stuck.

He's getting that thousand yard stare & he doesn't snap at the press pack any more.  I've seen that resignation in sheep surrounded by a wolf pack.

I am wanting them to really go after them.  Bring up some charges on the lying unqualified piece of shit, and Holder too.

Good luck with that.  Considering it took months of begging to get John Boner (sic) to do this much.

Boner's too busy weeping to pay much attention. His tears keep washing the ink off the contempt paperwork.

Sen. Cornyn also said he wasn't impressed with Holder's intelligence.

I laughed when I saw that. He is both funny and true.
