Congress Ethics

Consistently Shameful

Watch Attorney General Eric Holder refuse to sit quietly as House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa slanders him by claiming he wanted to hide details from Congress.

Issa: You didn’t want us to see the details.

Holder: No, no, no, that’s what you typically do. No, I am not going to stop talking now. [...] It is inappropriate and too consistent with the way in which you conduct yourself as a member of Congress. It is unacceptable. And it’s shameful.

It’s not a coincidence that one day before the confirmation vote for Labor Secretary nominee Tom Perez, House Republicans are concern-trolling.
