Vile: Holder released “apology” letter before Border Patrol agent’s family received it

Attorney General Eric Holder’s status as the most shameless corruptocrat in the Obama administration has now been RE-confirmed.
Fox News (h/t Christian Adams) reports on the DOJ’s cynical exploitation of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry and his family that will leave you speechless (or using the most profane speech in your vocabulary):
The Terrys watched Holder’s appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. Asked if he wanted to apologize to the family, Holder declined, saying only he regretted what happened.
“That shows what kind of a person he is,” Kent lamented. “To me, he is not much of a person. I don’t know if he has a son. But if he lost his, he would think different.”
“I sat in a chair and cried,” Josephine said. “It was so inhumane. An apology to anybody means at least they are trying to fix it. He didn’t.”
… Blasted for his response, Holder did send the Terrys a letter Wednesday saying he was sorry for their loss. The letter was released to the press before the Terrys received it.
Holder doesn’t just need to be fired.
He needs to be prosecuted.

So, if the Dems are corrupt, yet so are the Republicans, shouldn’t we vote in someone who will reduce the size of government?
Holder: “I’m so sorry…..I got caught”. This man’s arrogance is amazing but then he’s in good company in Duh Won’s administration. I’d love to see him go to jail but I won’t hold my breath.
123upnorth, do you have a mouse in your pocket? What’s with the “shouldn’t WE vote…”?
Aren’t you a Canadian?
Last time I looked you don’t get to vote in our elections.
I’d pay a nickel to see a wolverine eat his mustache!
I spend much time in the U.S., so I am affected by what happens in your elections.
Also, I hope to immigrate to the U.S. in the future (don’t have the money to do so right now), so again, I care about what happens.
is that any worse then showing up late for the service at arlington today? it’s not like the time changes from year to year. something about the 11th hour of the 11th day. perhaps he was thinking of the other 11th hour?
Nobody here would prosecute, or even thoroughly investigate.
Extradite him to Mexico, and let them jail him for the rest of his life (probably short).
Holder needs 30 days in the electric chair.
You can care but it’s not the same as having a vote. Just sayin’.
He’s so vile, words escape me right now.
they only need show up in a city run by dems, no problem. here in chicago we do not discriminate, we even allow dead people to vote here.
Rogue, is he attached?
Is my post at #1 any less valid in argument because I am not an American citizen. If someone gives you good advice, do you not take it because they aren’t of a relationship to you that you find important?
I thought of that when I posted but hoped it wouldn’t give 123 any ideas. It happens in St. Louis where I live, too, but only if you’re a dumbocrat. They screen republicans closely.
WTF? I always thought words of condolences were private. Passed only to the recipient by the consoler. What the hell are they doing releasing the letter to the press?
I hate to split hairs with you 123 but you do not have a valid argument when you don’t have a vote. You didn’t suggest we Americans vote a certain way, you said ” shouldn’t we vote in someone who will reduce the size of government?” Your argument makes no sense.
Whipped in the public square is more like it.
Ah the good ole middle ages. Where ever did they go.
Character matters …
Releasing the letter was profoundly inept, to say the least. Must be the Chicago political cultural deprivation.
It’s all about “optics”, not about substance. Governing by image.
This is what happens when you bring in friends instead of competent people. These guys can’t get anything right.
That’s why Obambi is still riding his daughter’s bike. They can’t find the training wheels to the big bike.
bho and his whole blooming team have zero class! They have no idea what it takes to deal with a human being in a positive way! I detest every stinken crooked one of them!
L
Spineless, tasteless, arrogant, heartless, clueless, crude and mind bogglingly rude. Pretty much sums up the Zero administration, no?
Even if you give Holder the benefit of the doubt on F&F (which you can’t) – if you were in his place, wouldn’t you invite the family, look them in the eyes, and appologize for gross malpheasance that happened on your watch?
Bush Attorney General Alberto Gonzales relpaced 7 of 93 US Attorneys and was tarred & feathered and run out on a rail. Every administration appoints US attorneys. Holder has already replaced more than Gonzales did. Just not all at once.
Gonzales is burnt at the stake for staff adjustments that every administration in history – including Zero – does. Holder does the same – silence.
If someone provided weapons and support to the enemy, and neglected their sworn duty, resulting in multiple deaths of US citizens – wouldn’t they call that treason?
The American Voter (as a group) got the Attorney General they richly deserved.
If they vote to reelect Obama, they will deserve one Hell of a lot worse, and they will get it.
Reality has fangs.
Yes, I meant for the wolverine to gain access to the mustache via the alimentary canal.
Giving aid and comfort to our enemies is an act of treason. I think we can safely say that the Mexican drug cartels are our enemies.
U.S. Congress – do your job.
Subpoena Holder and everyone down the list and do it now!
Prayers for strength for the family. I am so sorry about the misery the so-called leader of this country has caused: the people he appoints, his choice for high=ranking jobs.
Holder: Okay okay okaaaay… because people are so upset about my lack of an apology, I’ll send one. Heck, I’ll even send it to the press eeeverybody can see just how apologetic I am and they can get off my back already…
Even kids have learned by the time they get to 1st grade that an apology you don’t really mean doesn’t carry much weight, and that not doing anything to change your behavior not only invalidates your apology, but it really pisses people off.
I bet you grabbed your crotch when you testified, you fking street rat.
The list of republicans who voted to confirm Holder is not surprising. I mean, look at it. The most disgusting RINO’s in the Senate. Every one of those jerks need to be gone!! Some of them already are.
As for Holder, he is a slimy bottom-feeder and I believe he WILL end up being prosecuted. These things take time, but there is a LOT of evidence against him. He won’t be able to weasel out of all of it.
+100
If you want to immigrate to the U.S., it shouldn’t cost all that much:
Step One: spend some time in a tanning booth (unless you’ve a naturally dark complexion).
Step Two: Fly to Mexico.
Step Two (alternate): Since you spend a lot of time in the U.S., find an ATF agent and acquire some “assault weapons” and use them to get across the southern U.S. border.
Step Three: practice an Hispanic accent. Locals can help you with this. There’s no need to actually learn Spanish.
Step Four: Find someone with marijuana.
Step Five: Walk across the border, carrying the marijuana.
Step Six: Use your newly acquired accent (and the marijuana) to avail yourself of false identity, driver’s license, bank account, a job, housing and social services.
Step Seven: Welcome to America!
(me? bitter? naaah)
Just when you think you can’t despise this jerk any more than you already do…
This would only surprise people who thought he had the slightest bit of class to begin with.
Does anyone think the letter would have even been written if the subject didn’t come up DAYS ago?
Contrition and penitence served up so we may feel the DOJ’s concern and love. (tonight at 6).
You need to add, get a fake SS#/DL/or other papers needed to get free health care/schooling/food/housing/and you just show up and VOTE!
L
Do its job? Hah. When was the last time that happened?
If Congress really did its job, this is beyond subpoena. Now is the time to indict, prosecute, convict , and sentence.
For Holder and this entire criminal enterprise.
I’ll bet his condolence letter included an autographed 8 X 10 of himself.
You don’t even have to show up! There are dem orgs that will gladly drop by your location and pick up your ballot. They will even be happy to fill it out and sign it for you!
Execute the sentence in a Utah pen at the Gary Gilmore wing. A .338 Lapua would get rid of the porn stash once and for all.
Didn’t it use to be just +1′s? Are we already suffering from + inflation? Is this the first casualty of the hyperinflation caused by The Obama?
Or is it because we’ve gone off the Plus Standard and switched to the Twinkles Standard, with an artificially induced exchange rate of 100 Plus to every 1 UpTwinkle to mask the underlying effects of the inflationary policies?
That Democrat leaders do this kind of thing all the time shows the mentality of their voters.
Sure, some Democrats aren’t evil. Those are the ones with the maturity and critical thinking skills of four year olds.
Yup. The typical dem voter alright.
I nominated Happyscrapper as official MM scorekeeper because she gave me +2000 yesterday. But this is like Calvin Ball (Calvin and Hobbs). We make up the rules as we go.
With a scratch-n-sniff section.
Holder’s deep sincerity reminds me of me at age 8:
Little brother: Dad! swede hit me with the dump truck! [little twerp had it coming big time]
Dad: swede! did you hit your brother?
swede: Wull, he… I was… [eye of death looking through skull] Yes.
Dad: Give him you’re truck and tell him you’re sorry.
swede: I’m sorry. [Wait till dad goes to work you little...]
Eric Holder is sorry because his mind boggling lack of compassion reveals the slime that he really is. Lord forgive me, I really hate these people.
Actually a slow pursuit is better. Wouldn’t want to give Obama an opportunity to pardon the POS before he leaves office in Jan 2013.
Maybe we can get Holder to flip on Obama and get them both behind bars in 2013-2014.
Dare to dream.
Ouch, that would get his attention. I’m not sure the wolverine could stomach it though.
Get a honey badger then. Honey badger don’t care. Pornstache might care though.
Look, you’re asking someone of low or no character to do something of good character, like asking a carp to ride a bicycle. Holder has never done such things, and has never had to. He has, largely, been able to get where he is due to his skin color and, in fact, due to his low character. He was hired by mr. Obama (that’s mister with a small m) specifically because he’s a rat who will do dirty deeds beyond that of the worst stereotype of an attorney. And, mr. Obama has dirty deeds to do to further his agenda.
welcome back, and thank you for your service on this Veteran’s Day.
When a man is corrupt to the core like Holder, the truth slips out from behind the curtain at some point. Holder is not only a goon, but a classless goon.
That is exactly correct! As official MM scorekeeper, I can give +1 for an absolutely outstanding post, and a +100 for a mediocre one. It depends on my mood. Some days, I am angryscrapper, and some days I am happyscrapper, and some days I am stingyscrapper.
I guess you all will have to deal with my moods. Age has its privileges!
Hangfire…where have you been? You need to let us know! Shame on you. Next time, Hangfire, phone home.
I’d kind of like to see Holder becomes someone’s little sweetie in prison. That would spare the badger and the wolverine. And us.
They’re related but I would prefer to see the impishly delightful honey badger.
I watched Holder “testify” and his whole demeanor was as though he was being put out just to be there. When asked if he had apologized to the Thierry family, he looked like a deer looking into headlights….like he didn’t know what was going on. It was pathetic….I really dislike him intensly.
I’ve heard badgers and wolverines will take on grizzlies and run them off. Holder would not be a problem. Actually, I would pay to see a honey badger dropped down his pants for sport. Anyone familiar with Reg Mallor and ferret legging? Good times.
I’m not seeing this in the article any longer, and there was no mention of an update on the site. Can you investigate, Michelle?
I do miss Calvin and Hobbs. Best cartoon series ever. sigh
My nephew was going to name his first son Calvin Coolidge (for both cartoon Calvin and President Calvin) until my sister threatened him. Both great Americans.
Isn’t that the real question? What possible reason did the Obama administration have for allowing guns to walk into Mexico without any means to trace them or recover them? Congress needs to press for an official reason for why this program was approved in the first place, because there can be no valid reason for it.
In Vietnam Holder would have been fragged by his own troops.
Holder, you farging icehole! I’ll have your bells in a sling!
Only after he is dragged by his nostrils from his office, tarred and feathered, then shipped to Juarez with a sign on around his neck that says “Narc”.
Did anyone notice that Grassley was one of the senators that voted to confirm Holder and he is now leading the grilling?
We have the complete Calvin and Hobbes limited edition hardbound collection we bought for the boys for Christmas one year. I forget what we paid for it, but it was worth every buck. I’m hanging on to it for good.
No way to treat a coyote date.
To have a conscience, or any sense of right and wrong, one must first have a soul.
I have come to the conclusion that eric holder is actually Igor/Fritz, the evil assistant from the Frankenstein films. A vile, soulless toady that is willing to do anything to please it’s master, or anything it thinks will make him happy. That is Igor’s (holder’s) MO going back even beyond the Marc Rich pardon.
Too long have leftists controlled education, media and entertainment indoctricating to eradicate any sense of right and wrong and replacing that sense with moral and ethical relativism.
Uhhgg! That waste of human flesh chaps my a$$!!! It’s been a long time since I have wanted to throw my remote control or whatever is handy through my television!! I do not support abortion but this man could be the f*ing poster child!

Absolutely! Of course I’m a Hobbs fan.
I haven’t seen the letter. However, I doubt there’s a lot of sincerity in it. Such a letter, written only after repeated questions concerning it, isn’t written from the heart. Brian Terry died almost a year ago. If Holder gave a damn, he’d have written this letter of condolence immediately. I’m sure the family is well aware the words aren’t worth the paper they’re written on.
Additional…..I just found out the letter was written to one relative, and it wasn’t actually a letter. It was an email!! How sleazy can a purported human be, to send an email as a ‘letter’ of condolence?
I could express my utter contempt for this person, but I don’t want to get banned.
Eric “my people” Holder must go!
I’m guessing he farmed out the drafting of the letter to a subordinate, and after Holder’s signature was affixed (autopen?) to it, the subordinate released it to the press.
This inept, completely corrupt cretin is the highest law enforcement officer in the country?
Really?
I forgot, we have an ineligible communist in the White House and everybody’s cool with that………….
Dude, where did my country go?
It was reported, that he sent an E-MAIL!!
If that’s true the guy is an utter A-HOLE!!
