Attorney General Eric Holder joked on Wednesday that he’s feeling very loved by Senate Republicans, who have repeatedly delayed the confirmation vote for Loretta Lynch, Obama’s nominee to be the next attorney general.
During comments at a Center for American Progress event in Washington, D.C., Holder said, “It’s almost as if the Republicans in Congress have discovered a new fondness for me,” according to NPR.
“I’m feeling love there that I haven’t felt for some time,” he said. “And where was all this affection the last six years?”
Fights over the Senate human trafficking bill have delayed Lynch’s nomination indefinitely. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that the Senate will not vote on her nomination until they pass the bill.
Now THAT’S talking som’ mucho &^*t like a real VATO LOCO
Now if he would bring charges against the scammers who tanked the economy and begin clawback procedures to get back the tens of billions they stole plus their billions in bonuses, he might actually be remembered as a guy who tried to do his job.
I like watching these powerful men unleashed… one is waiting for a replacement and the other has no more elections to worry about. Let it fly men. Let it fly, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Milk it for all its worth. Daily. It will piss off the nutcases enough that they will contact their Republican lawmakers (especially McConnell) into actually scheduling a much-delayed vote on Lynch.
…! Troll them with a few highly publicized investigations and indictments, EH.
