Below is an article written by Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle (R-NY) on the Eric Holder hearings on-going by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

The article is spot on, but of course, it has to be written by a Republican. Holder is claiming that this is all as political witch hunt. It seems to me, however, that it is the Democrats who are being political. They are gathering around Holder and closing their eyes to a terrible scandal that has led to 200-300 deaths at least on both sides of the border. They, like Holder, want to limit the blame to a few rogue agents and supervisors in Arizona and protect the suits in Washington-both in DOJ and the White House-who concocted this insane scheme.
It is time for some decent Democrats in Washington to stand up and demand answers from this elusive attorney general, a man who wasn't fit to fill this position in the first place. Remember it was Holder, while serving in the Clinton Justice Department, who steered the Marc Rich pardon to Clinton's desk, circumventing any review by the interested agencies and prosecutors who were seeking to arrest him as a fugitive. Holder has turned DOJ into nothing less than a criminal enterprise. That is not to accuse all the career DOJ employees of corruption, but they surely know it exists at the highest levels. It is time for all of them to come forward.
