Holder: Too Clever By Half

Rep. Bob Goodlatte on Fox News: Did Eric Holder Commit Perjury? | Fox News Insider: "He is not yet willing to comment on whether he thinks Holder committed perjury, saying he is waiting for Holder's response to the letter. Goodlatte set a deadline of next Wednesday for Holder to answer.

Goodlatte said Holder's statement is clearly contradicted by the DOJ's argument to a federal judge that Rosen had committed a crime in his dealings with a State Department source. He explained that DOJ is now saying that since Rosen was never indicted, that Holder's May 15 statement was not untruthful.

But for Goodlatte, that brings up yet another "very alarming concern."

"Is the Justice Department putting false information in their warrants to get the information they want? Because they could not have received a warrant with regard to Mr. Rosen, unless they accused him of a crime," he said."
