And joining us now congressman Paul -- our Republican of Arizona congressman good to have you with us.
Let's -- prior me this evening let's turn to first these revelations that the former US attorney Dennis Burke who resigned as you know.
Is now admitting he tried to -- tac and smear.
And ATF agent who is doing what book his conscience and his responsibilities as an ATF agent required him.
I I mean this is outrageous.
-- this is Lou this is why the American people as they find out about this this ludicrous idea.
You've already called for an attorney general Eric holder's resignation when you watched his performance.
For that Senate Judiciary Committee.
-- You your thoughts your reaction.
To -- -- to what the attorney general had to say and did say.
I think it's a mockery of our our justice system what our founders put forward.
Or us to the fall Lou.
I'm and I think this is why the American people are getting really upset about regards to on the handling of this the -- debacle.
And accountability where this happened why it could they've been bought this -- worked.
And making sure that this never happens again I think that's people being coming alarmed and I'm I'm I'm taken back that we've got.
An attorney general who will not answer -- become transparent with this issue for the we can get the bottom of it.
Senator John -- of Texas asking the attorney general directly.
If -- -- apologized.
To it to the family of US Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.
Answered no.
And then the attorney general and senator cornyn -- -- -- reached out of the family.
To express at least you know his his sympathies.
And his condolences his regrets.
He acted as though it was unimaginable.
This is a peculiar position impostor.
Being taken by the Obama Justice Department and the attorney general.
I think -- spells a lot about what this attorney general is talking about particularly when you go to the CNN has spaniel all about the president in early march he talks about mistakes -- means fast and -- for those mistakes.
Worry is that where is this this guys that the attorney general can't follow suit.
That's what without being human is all about and that's that part.
The people are looking for.
And and we're not think it and it just it just it actually Robert makes people very upset and what we're saying.
And and the US attorney Dennis Burke.
Is he going to be prosecuted.
And -- so -- I think we don't.
Well here I think we audit -- -- what I also call for is not just resignation.
Is that we hold bureaucrats to the same level all the rest of us for help to what American people main -- American people why actually want.
And and we gather all the facts and we allow them to go to a court of their peers and and and defend themselves -- on these allegations we have to go forward.
Is there any reason why the whistle blowers won't come forward anymore this isn't -- a prime example of what we do to people that are trying to blow the whistle and do something right.
Very quickly what is next for the house oversight committee investigating.
Fast -- -- We want to see more of the documentation.
In that we've been asking for un redacted so we can get to the bottom of this.
And then we want to look carefully at the discussion that mr.
holder had with the Senate Judiciary Committee.
I'm making sure that he is you know appropriately -- the right.
The right facts about this issue.
And making sure that we have full compliance.
That's the biggest key that we're going to look forward to -- Congress and thanks for being with us congressman -- -- sir thank you very much thank you very much --
