Wolf: “Holder is a jerk”

Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) has had just about enough.

“This guy (Attorney General Eric) Holder is a jerk,” Wolf told “The Hill” the other day.

Wolf is ticked that for four months now, the U.S. AG hasn’t responded to repeated requests from him, the ranking member of a House Appropriations subcommittee, which happens to be the one that holds the purse strings for the Justice Department.

Beginning back in March, Wolf requested information related to the transfer of detainees from Guantanamo to the U.S. He also sent three letters to Justice this past month related to a case that was dropped over voter intimidation. All these requests have been effectively unanswered.

“If I – as the ranking member on the House Commerce-Justice-Science Appropriations subcommittee that funds your department – cannot receive any information about how the department is spending these funds, I doubt any other member or committee can expect you to be any more forthcoming,” Wolf wrote to Holder.

He has also said that “the attorney general intends to continue to stonewall the American people” and that what the attorney general is doing is “blatant obstruction.”

This has led Wolf to the next step – introducing a resolution of inquiry, which is intended to “compel” the Attorney General to provide the information and will be considered by the Judiciary Committee.

Wolf is merely following up on a promise made by President Obama during a May 21 speech at the National Archives:

“I ran for President promising transparency, and I meant what I said. That is why, whenever possible, we will make information available to the American people so that they can make informed judgments and hold us accountable… In this system of checks and balances, someone must always watch over the watchers.”

Unfortunately, Wolf has found Obama’s attorney general to be less than forthcoming and not living-up to the president’s standard:

“The attorney general’s failure to respond to legitimate congressional inquiries is a disservice to this president and the American people. This resolution would hold the attorney general to the president’s public commitment to transparency and accountability,”
