Progressive Attorney General Eric Holder, who was held in contempt of Congress for lying about the Obama regime’s Fast and Furious gun-running scandal, blew up at Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert on Tuesday.
In 2012, Holder became the first sitting Cabinet member in U.S. history to be held in contempt, with 17 Democrats voting against Holder.
At a hearing in which Gohmert was attempting to get information about the Holy Land Foundation terror funding trial, the evasive Holder was asked why he wouldn’t provide documents Gohmert requested that Holder’s office had already provided to “terrorists,” according to the congressman.
When Holder avoided the question, Gohmert brought up Holder’s contempt conviction (WATCH VIDEO BELOW), saying, “I realize that contempt is not a big deal to our Attorney General, but it is important that we have proper oversight.”
Holder shot back curtly, pointing his finger at the congressman, “You don’t want to go there, buddy! You don’t want to go there, okay.”
Congressman Gohmert, obviously surprised at Holder’s reaction, responded, “I don’t want to go there?”
Holder’s one word answer, in an almost threatening, but definitely angry tone, was, “No,” as he leaned forward towards Gohmert.
“About the contempt?” Gohmert then asked.
Holder answered while wagging his extended finger at Gohmert, “You should not assume that that is not a big deal to me,” explained the livid Holder. “I think that it was inappropriate, I think it was unjust. But never think that that was not a big deal to me,” Holder warned, “Don’t ever think that.”
