In a letter to Sen. Darrell Issa AG Eric Holder complains that:
the latest fury of congressional reaction was irresponsible. “I cannot sit idly by as a Majority Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform suggests, as happened this week, that law enforcement and government employees who devote their lives to protecting our citizens be considered ‘accessories to murder…Such irresponsible and inflammatory rhetoric must be repudiated in the strongest possible terms.” (From The Hill)
This attempt to change the subject is reminiscent of the great courtroom seen from Animal House where the smooth talking Otter (Tim Matheson) portrays a hearing on his fraternity’s misdeeds as an attack on truth, justice, and the American way.
