Hillary Clinton is the master at lying to congress, under oath, and still avoiding the perjury trap.  When confronted about the White House Post Office firing scandal, Hillary developed amnesia and said she couldn’t recall about 250 times.  Ultimately, the Special Prosecutor determined that Hillary’s answers were inconsistent with the facts, but he did not charge her with perjury.

Erik Holder apparently didn’t get the memo about how to lie without committing perjury.  When questioned by Darrell Issa, on May 3, 2011, Holder gave an evasive answer, but it wasn’t evasive enough.

Here is the question asked by Darrell Issa on May 3, 2011 and Holder’s answer:

 ISSA: Mr. Attorney General, we have two Border Patrol agents who are dead, who were killed by guns that were allowed, as far as we can tell, to deliberately walk out of gun shops under the program often called Fast and Furious. This program, as you know — and the President’s been asked about it, you’ve been asked about it – allowed for weapons to be sold to straw purchasers, and ultimately, many of those weapons are today in the hands of drug cartels and other criminals. When did you first know about the program, officially, I believe, called Fast and Furious? To the best of your knowledge, what date?

HOLDER: I’m not sure of the exact date but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks.

Last Friday, the White House pulled the standard Friday afternoon document drop of potentially embarrassing information, and finally released more e-mails.  These e-mails prove that Holder was lying.  It’s not just one or two e-mails, either.  There is a consistent paper trail.  Only a naïve fool, or a liberal Democrat, would believe that Holder wasn’t heavily invested in this sordid affair.  Holder is reduced to saying he did not understand the question!  Even CBS is not buying that:

Republicans have formally asked President Obama to appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate Erik Holder.  Don’t be surprised to see some Democrats start to join in on the chorus.  It is hard for anyone to spin this puppy away.  I wouldn’t be surprised to see Holder pull out the race card, but that won’t work.  For one thing, Herman Cain will crucify the White House if they try that.  It sure looks like this story is going to go viral.
