    It just sounds like a lier trying to explain away his lie.

    Rep. James Sensenbrenner asked Holder: “Tell me what's the difference between lying and misleading Congress, in this context?”

    Holder's response is a bit Clintonian. “Well, if you want to have this legal conversation, it all has to do with your state of mind and whether or not you had the requisite intent to come up with something that would be considered perjury or a lie," Holder said. "The information that was provided by the February 4th letter was gleaned by the people who drafted the letter after they interacted with people who they thought were in the best position to have the information.”

    Speaking of which I just saw a clip of Corzine testifying before a congressional committee. The sign in front of him read: "The Honorable Jon S Corzine"

    Un fucking believable.

    It's because he was a Senator and a Governor. Those titles stick with you. Soon he will have another title - Prisoner No. ------.
