Well, isn't this a fine pickle? Holder hearing shifted to 2 February.

Just got this release from the Committee:
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa today announced that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has been scheduled to testify on February 2 about the Department of Justice’s knowledge of, and response to, gunwalking that occurred in Operation Fast and Furious. The Attorney General will be asked to address management deficiencies within the Department that occurred both during and after the conclusion of Operation Fast and Furious. This will include the Department’s steadfast refusal to disclose information following the February 4, 2011 letter to Senator Grassley, which the Department has withdrawn because it contained false information denying allegations made by whistleblowers about Operation Fast and Furious. The committee’s investigation has found documentation that numerous members of the Justice Department knew the letter to Congress contained false information both before it was sent and later withdrawn.
Well, what a fine pickle this is. I already had the arrangements made for me and now the dates are no good. Rats.

You'd think it was Groundhog Day or something - O wait...

While Gunwalker casts a dark shadow over the whole country, we're in for many more weeks of bad weather.

Just two days shy of a year since the incriminating letter.

Meanwhile keep up the preps - praxis makes perfect!

Enjoyed a private conversation with Newt at an Iowa campaign stop. Asked what he thought of Romney's comment that F&F was a "mishap" and he responded.."It was an outrageous scandal. People have died....and they did it to affect 2nd Ammendment rights" I asked if he would be speaking more about F & F in the future and he said yes. I encouraged him to do so.

Lets just hope that holder is required to testify under oath.

I hope you can still use the ticket, even if it costs to change the dates.

Good luck, Mike. Keep smiling at EH when he looks over his shoulder.

Someone has been practicing their MOONWALKING slick mooves but we ain't that stupid. The general public might be fooled but those of us who have been following this load of crapola know better.
