Video: Reporter Asking Questions Threatened by Eric Holder’s Bodyguard
After a visit by Attorney General Eric Holder to the Justice Department Voting Section yesterday, a reporter attempting to ask Holder questions about the visit was threatened by one of Holder’s bodyguards. Holder was visiting the Voting Section of the DOJ to pose for photographs with the attorneys who will be enforcing federal election law over the last two weeks of the presidential campaign.
The photos are expected to be delivered to the staff with a personalized note from the attorney general.
Media Research Center reporter Joe Schoffstall identified himself as media and attempted to gain access to the photo session and conversations between Holder and the DOJ election attorneys in the 7th floor conference room at 1800 G Street in Washington, D.C. This satellite office is located in a non-governmental building in northwest D.C.
Schoffstall was denied entry to the event by a Justice Department employee.
After the event, the reporter asked Holder questions as the attorney general left the building.
“Mr. Attorney General, do you think is appropriate to be taking pictures with DOJ lawyers who will be enforcing election laws during President Obama’s reelection?” Schoffstall asks Holder, who was just inches away. “Do you think that is appropriate Mr. Holder?”
Holder does not answer, and instead turns his head away from the reporter as he heads to a waiting black SUV.
After Schoffstall’s questions are ignored, and Holder is in the SUV, an unidentified uniformed security officer in Holder’s detail aggressively confronts and threatens Schoffstall.
“Hey sir, they gonna be nice to you, I’m not,” says the officer, as he shunts Schoffstalll backwards across the public sidewalk on G Street. The officer refers to the bodyguards wearing suits as being “nice,” while he expresses the contrary intention.
Schoffstall replies that “this is public sidewalk,” as the uniformed officer continues to confront the reporter and push him backwards.
“The man is ushering you on to a different direction, that’s what I’m gonna make sure you do,” says the officer, now in Schoffstall’s face.
“This is a public sidewalk,” Schoffstall insists. After shunting Schoffstall backwards off the sidewalk, the officer says, “It’s not a public sidewalk now; you’re standing on federal government property.”
Schoffstall responds, “You pushed me back on federal government property. This is a public sidewalk, I can ask him a question.” The officer’s bluster was also factually inaccurate. The building at 1800 G Street is not federal government property and is instead owned by a private entity. The federal agencies merely lease space there. No federal agency leases the space where Schoffstall was standing when the officer incorrectly said he was standing on federal government property.
Apparently Attorney General Holder doesn’t like questions, especially unexpected ones.
It’s the Chicago way.
Indeed, it is the thuggish way of the Chicago hood.
The two most vile creatures to ever hold higher office in the U.S. are the Radical-in-Chief and his Racialist AG. They are akin to thugs in suits, better suited for twin jail cells, than holding the highest offices in the land.
History will judge all those who protected this regime, and will hold them accountable. I suspect that even if The One loses, the bomblets which will explode, when least expected, will resonate for years.
To be sure, he will create such mayhem before he leaves office that it will take many fire marshals to extinguish the ruins.
What will it take to see the two of them (and their chief enablers) behind bars? – http://adinakutnicki.com/2012/08/20/the-thug-in-chief-hell-bent-on-disarming-christian-patriots-ordered-his-racialist-ag-to-turn-up-the-heat-addendum-to-barack-hussein-obamas-brave-new-world-second-amendment-pro-life-su/ as they terrorize all who dare to question their thuggish rule.
REZKO, OBAMA, AND THE NADHMI AUCHI RAILROAD LINKING CHICAGO, WASHINGTON, AND BAGHDAD (Part 1of 3)

hey, whistleblower, stop your spamming. Pay your own way to advertise your own.
Brings to mind the Reconstruction era after the Civil War. Maybe white southerners and their apologists like DW Griffith had a legitimate beef.
They didn’t. You are under the baneful influence of two ideas. The first was a concatenation of assumptions inherited from the conservative, chiefly Democratic, response to Republican policies of the era. These assumptions, the more pernicious for being seldom examined explicitly, included the following: Republicans imposed their war and Reconstruction policies with a contemptuous disregard for constitutional precedent; these policies were a coherent and unified whole, centrally conceived and administered, marching relentlessly by unconstitutional means to unconstitutional ends; Republicans were determined to force and unnatural elevation of blacks and a vindictive repression of whites in the South, putting the bottom rail on top and propping it there with bayonets. These are Democratic talking points still going strong after 140 years.
I suggest getting out of the Dunning School ghetto and read more broadly. Here are just two recommendations.
“Southern Rights: Political Prisoners and the Myth of Confederate Constitutionalism” by Mark E. Neely Jr.
“The Doom of Reconstruction: The Liberal Republicans in the Civil War Era” by Andrew L. Slap
“Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the Affirmative Action System!”
The worst part about that stupid black goon is that we’re paying his salary. How many teachers were laid off to pay that thug?
No s#*t…
The Chicago Way is sounding an awful lot like the Berlin Way.
Obamas idea of justice
Odd, but it actually appears that Holder’s face is morphing into a rat as time goes by.
My exact thought!
A very ugly and diseased rat.
The reporter is spraking English, the body guard is speaking Ebonics.
You should have let me try to ask Holder a question. I speak jive.
s’up
Word, homie!
spraking = speaking.
I thought you we’re going Ebanglish on us, bro! LOL
“Spraking.” Anglo-Saxon. No problem
That’s not funny.
How is this not assault?
I would be in jail for beating the HELL out of whatever kind of obnoxious rent-a-cop he was.
What a jerk. I bet if he was asking Romney something that “cop” wouldn’t have done a thing about it. Also there is NO reason to get in his face like that. Clearly trying to escalate the situation.
The “uniformed guard” was standing up for the “brother man” against the “other man”.
This is the tension we start to see when goverment is less than transparent.
Well, all those attorneys in the DOJ know that if Obama loses they are likely to find themselves looking for work in the Obama economy. Even those who are not political appointees will find a return to ethics and integrity intolerable and likely find themselves facing discipline for what is currently accepted behavior.
But why would anyone be surprised at this behavior. The DOJ facilitated the murder of hundreds of Mexican citizens to gain pretext for a domestic political agenda.
Yeah, but Holder isnt going anywhere.
When Obama loses, he will become some sort of Shadow Justice Provocateur….
A New Generation Sharptonesque Rabble Rouser, but with a measure of “credibility” on the issues due to his previous “official” position, hosted and deferred to in the way of an Al Gore or a Jimmy Carter.
His new career is being crafted right now in newsrooms across the country….as an apologist for the riots that will occur…
The inevitable Riots after the Zimmerman acquittal, which will be early in Romneys Presidency.
The Media is right now, preparing the emotional narrative in which That Trial is (was) the election, and the “tragedy” of the “verdict” will be met with nashing teeth and wails of agony and disbelief.
The Obama defeat will be “legal”, but morally it will be treated as an “obvious mistake”
They will apply the same emotional dynamics to the Zimmerman Acquittal. A jury verdict that’s simply “wrong”, just like that election where so many people voted the “wrong” way.
Obama is Trevon…Trevon is Obama…Both were Murdered by Racists, one on the street, the other in the Blogosphere, and the “guilty”, thats is to say Zimmerman AND Romney, have both “walked”…one to the White House, the other to freedom …and these two events together, will be the Gemini of the New Narrative.
Just like how “the Homeless” did not exist as an entity, as a personage, as a cause, until it became Reagans crown of thorns, a New Sinister Dark Age of Fear and Racism will be placed around Romney neck.
It will be will be “too much to bear” for “My People”, and any follow up on Gunwalker will be a cynical ploy to silence the Righteous and Brave Mr. Holder, toast of the Sunday talk shows, Social Analyst Extraordinaire, Speaking Truth to the Oppressive New White Powers
The Meme is already in place, the stories are already written….
The linkage, symbolism….its a done deal.
They are Professional Propagandists. This is WHAT THEY DO.
Zimmeromney murdered their Trebama, and got away with it.
Its their JOB to make him pay.
Just you wait and see.
When Obummer loses, the only place Eric Holder is going is Federal Prison for his coverup of Fast and Furious. Hopefully, it will be for a long time.
that will never happen
If the Muslim sitting in the White Mosque (House) is re-elected, it will be much, much worse than being threatened.
The Obama regime holds America in contempt. Himmler would be proud of this thuggery.
Looks like the officer acted stupidly.
I’m sure he was only following orders.
Oh give the guy a break you guys…he’s just trying to hurry up and get off duty so he can get drunk and high with his hooker girlfriend
What nobody mentions is that which is most obvious – a black man being racist.
Don’t be silly, we all know that a black man can’t be racist because “he has no power”.
Oh wait, that looks like a gun … and a badge … and maybe pepper spray … and maybe a taser. He got the powa!
Yup, he’s a racist and probably near illiterate as well.
What would be very interesting in this situation is if the reporter were a former U.S Navy S.E.A.L was the reporter, the situation would have not ended nicely for the bodyguard, the least would have been a broken (something) and it would have been painful as well as embarrassing!
DC is one of the most “policed” places in the nation. At last count, there are at least 32 distinct police agencies with arrest power in the District. No idea which one this clown belonged to, but he was not part of the Metro DC Police. So, the next question is, what is the geographical area of his authority? Most the “police” or “uniformed officers” belonging to the various Cabinet Agencies loose their authority the moment they step off the property they are supposed to be protecting.
“BEWARE OF DOJ GOON SQUADS”
[TO THE TUNE OF "LOOK FOR THE UNION LABEL"]
Beware of, DOJ goon squads
If you are looking for justice today,
Remember, ALWAYS, Eric is lying,
The truth he’s hiding, so we can’t kick–Obama out.
The goons work, without complaining,
‘Cause they have millions safe hidden away!
So always look for DOJ goon squads,
Who say, “We’re able to kill you in the USA!”
IT WILL NOT STAND. We, the People, will not tolerate further fraud.
NEW SHERIFF’S COMING. NO “neck and neck” NO “too close to call” NO “anyone’s race”
WE ALL SEE IT NOW: ROMNEY & RYAN WIN BIG…in two weeks!
Contribute; talk to your family, friends, co-workers, neighbors; participate on these boards; PRAY AND VOTE (once!).
DON’T JUST WATCH THIS HISTORIC EVENT…JOIN IN…PARTICIPATE!
Did Schoffstall think to get the name, rank, and serial number, of this credentialed thug?
Well, at least he wasn’t wearing a brown, or black, shirt – though I would suspect a purple t-shirt is in there someplace.
Ooooh, that profile. What a weasel (Holder I mean). And you are absolutely right Leatherneck, it was all ‘ghetto’ like was it not. Thugs will do what thugs do best and as I am sure you know it ain’t got nutin’ ta do wit professionalism.
“You’re under the black man now, cracker!” (comment heard at the polls, 2008)
Actually, it was, “You’re going to be ruled by the black man now, cracker.”
Anybody ever read Farnham’s Freehold?
sure did .didn’t end well for the “uncles” did it?
The reporter is obviosly a racist. he’s actually asking substansive questions of the AG. He’s white. That has to be racist.
/sarcasm
Nice little Nation of Islam thingee ya got going there, Eric, ol’ boy. Maybe you should dress them in skinny bow ties and call all of them “Ministers.”
Better pray for a universal pardon from Zippy on his way out the door, chump.
Yeah, Holder’s profile: I noted that he looks just like the wolves in the Narnia movies. The Zer0 administration is full of such vicious, corrupt, human predators.
Can the nation endure four more years of this fascism? I can’t.
was he wearing a bowtie?
Just because Romney didn’t waterboard Obama to get the truth about Benghazi, they think they can get away with it.
Unfortunately, a lot of our present day gestapo and kgb agents — at ALL levels — are going to have to be, um, reemployed. Ironically, not a single one will ever understand why.
Back to the original question: Yes, I suppose it is appropriate for a US Attorney General to meet with any number of his DOJ attorneys any time he wants for whatever reason he wants.
Any reason? “Now I want you to ignore any intimidation towards a non Obama voter in the polls. Also ignore any campaigning for Obama at the polls. Vigorously files charges for anything you can think of on any Romney supporters.” Totally OK and appropriate.
“I’m on the sidewalk, public property. I’m not gonna move. You got a problem with that, Officer, then you arrest me. Otherwise, get back out of my face. Now.”
Technically called “disobeying a police directive”. Worth at least a couple of hours in jail, arraignment on a misdemeanor, and at least a day in front of a judge, or if you’re really unlucky, a barely literate magistrate with little to no legal training. And then you have a criminal record. Rightly or wrongly. Mostly wrongly.
I’d call it “refusing an unlawful order”. Arrest me. Can you say “false arrest”?
Yeah. they’ve been known to beet the hell out of or shoot people for less than that. And get completely away with it. At most a couple weeks suspension (vacation) with pay.

White dude does not know how to dance. He should have stood his ground, not allowed himself to be pressured backwards. He’s physically bigger. Just brace yourself and stand firm. The words mean nothing. It’s all in the body language, in the posturing. Monkey customs.
The obvious answer to the reporter’s question is that Eric Holder simply doesn’t care if his actions are appropriate or not, and he has his hired muscle to enforce his will. Government by Thug.
What do you expect from an administration that calls its political organization “OFA(y)”?
If Romney wins and riots break out, then racist bigots like the uniformed deviant in the photos will obviously not help in quelling those riots. Actually, I would expect him to participate in the looting and pillage, armed, and maybe even in uniform.
Holder’s a criminal who should be tried for treason and executed.
Brian Terry left U.S. to take care of getting to the truth of who OK’d Fast and Furious.
Once Obama double crosses Holder and does not give him a pardon, Holder will be in the dock, on trial and will not have clean hands.
Justice knows this Holder well.
PITY that bodyguard wasn’t assigned to Ambassador Stevens.
He should’ve said, “Hey! Didn’t we meet hiking the Inca Trail?”
Hahahahahahahahaha.
That’s effing scary.
Hitler and Goering did the same thing every time they pulled some horrific act.
The Night of the Long Knives, they took souvenir photos, first. All the cheery, happy, grinning fellows, about to execute their own friends, without mercy; like a fishing trip, only REALLY SICK! In fact, taunting them as stupid while they slaughtered them like sheep.
Keep your powder dry, until Mittens is safely in the White House.
Perhaps even then.
My Wall Street advice: buy lead.
It never goes out of style.
Think: What would George Washington do?
And DO IT!
the next couple of months will be interesting. we have more obamanites down here than anywhere, and believe me, we ain’t worried. quite the opposite.
presidents pardoning x-presidents is what gives these criminals their arrogance. the kenyan has presented some forgeries in order to commit fraud against the American people. he said himself that honest men have nothing to hide.
i figure with all that stimulus $$$ flying here and there (even to foreign places), there is a big pile missing. tax evasion was how the 20′s bad guys finally went down. well, that and bullets. these grifters/gun runners/liars/fraudsters/etc. have broken more laws than can be imagined by any of us. they are pro’s. that’s how we keep this from ever happening again. prison! and if necessary, bullets to uphold our law.
I don’t think I would have responded as nicely as the reporter. I think the security guard would have found out how just how not nice I can be the moment I got pushed. It’s time we push back when our rights are stepped on.
It is time conservative reporters traveled with some ex seals, incognito of course.
Good idea. I’ve been thinking about why white Americans have NOT banded together to form our own security force. How come the NRA does not help get its 20 million gun owners to form local and regional forces?
Look at some point there is going to be blood. We should be preparing for war to reclaim America from the marxists of any color.
Many NRA members are former or active military or law enforcement officers and will do the right thing as I would with no direction from the NRA proper.
Security? Look at the video. It says “POLICE” right across his back when he turns around at the end of his thug routine.
The officer is part of the Federal Protective Service, or FPS. He is a federal security officer, not local police.
Mr. Adams, reading of the FPS via wikipedia there’s this paragraph touching on FPS’ incompetence:
“In 2009, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the Inspector General for the Department of Homeland Security issued reports that were highly critical of the Federal Protective Service for relying on low-wage contract personnel to provide security at federal buildings. See GAO-09-0859T and OIG-09-51. Both documented that the contractors lacked the necessary skills or training to handle their duties, which threatened the security of all federal employees and visitors. The GAO report made national headlines in July 2009 as it cited frequent lapses, including failure to prevent investigators from carrying weapons into several key federal installations. It also displayed a photograph of a contract security guard asleep at his guard post”.
Is it a stretch the FPS is STILL incorporating ‘low-wage contract personnel to provide security at federal buildings’ with this recent CAUGHT ON TAPE incident 3 + years later?
I’m leaning towards, ‘You bet’.
It’s a shame MRC’s Schoffstall didn’t tell the wannabe cop Jesse Jackson’s push for Ebonics to be recognized as a language failed miserably.
That said, it being D.C., the rent-a-cop more than likely belonging to some union and guaranteed registered Democratic voter – nothing will result from this thuggish/ threatening behavior.
Obama’s administration is infested top to bottom with thugs in suits and uniforms many of whom have records a mile long. They don’t call it the most corrupt administration in history for nothing.

photos –beat up pretty badly –two on one.

Eric Holder’s record is almost unbelievable –the early 2000s Fast & Furious run-thru with Chiquita Banana in Colombia was no little squabble –look it up –a LOT of peasants were killed –Chiquita arming both sides, just like F&F. And when the army came in to stop the land grab, guess who pops up as Consigliari? Makes sense, considering the years of rumors that the Colombia-outbound banana freighters –big blue water ships registered in one of the Pelosi cannery islands of the south Pacific –carry (cough) a little low-bulk high-value contraband.
Or read a little of this. Here’s a snip from the Reuters article:
===
Covington in 2004 also wrote a crucial opinion letter commissioned by MERS, providing legal justification for its electronic registry. MERS spokeswoman Karmela Lejarde declined to comment on Covington legal work done for MERS.
It isn’t known to what extent if any Covington has continued to represent the banks and other mortgage firms since Holder and Breuer left. Covington declined to respond to questions from Reuters. A Covington spokeswoman said the firm had no comment.
===
The ‘Covington’ is Covington Burling, Eric Holder’s law firm –he is (or was, if his AG job forced a wink wink) a partner. C&B is an established DC law firm, almost exclusively involved in dismantling the USA, and has been a very long while. Part of the defense in the Alger Hiss case –Hiss, Stalin’s agent on FDR’s staff, and the man who at FDR’s fond behest designed the structure of (and became the first USA ambassador to) the United Nations. The boy wonder of America –until a whistleblower (and ex-fellow commie spy) named Whittaker Chambers blew the whistle.
This scandal was media undercovered to the point of hushed up –and so fast almost no voters understand that Holder, in 2004 and between his administration gigs w/ Clinton and Obama, wrote or approved the opinions that were used as pretext to set up the mortgage fraud. It came to settlement quickly, for such a paltry amount i guess the media just got bored and dropped it.
If there’s a space a crime can fill –in the hold of a banana boat running guns one way and dope the other, or in a mortgage custody chain waiting to blindside young householders trying to get a start in life –your Attorney General will be around there, somewhere, like an AG should be –only the person he is supposed to be chasing is himself.
Someday the ghosts of all those toddlers at Waco will catch up to him –if not, then he ain’t human –
Holder is a disgrace to his office, as is the cop who was acting as a bully for Holder. We deserve better, let’s hope enough Americans wake up in time and vote these bastards out and send them back to Chicago.
This is exactly how all the dems act. They feel they are above the law.
Are always afraid to answer any questions posed to them. If they have nothing to hide, why not answer the question.
This must be one of Obama’s personal army. Sean Hannity said that when Obama was out of country he had with him…get ready…it’s almost unbelievable…15.000 bodyguards. Not 1500. You read that correctly.
His own personal army. Sean was noting that out of the vast array of tax funded protectors Obama has escorting him around the world, why could not 12 be spared to protect the US Embassy in Libia on 9/11?
Now if Obama has THAT many with him while traveling, just how many do you think he has in country?
Who are they? Where are they housed?
Terrifing.
Start here
PS, one has to wonder about that website’s ‘look’ –esp that shade of red with the black & white. You’d think that, considering the recent national youth community service organizations such as Hitler Jugend and the Young Pioneers of the USSR, the organization would’ve stayed away from that blood-and-iron ‘look’.
When did these figures start to require entourages? I understand for the POTUS (even this one), VPOTUS, and families, but not abusers like Pelosi, Holder, Boehner (if he has them, I have not seen), etc. It is looking more and more like the ruling class and their foot servants, with we, the ruled standing on the side watching their procession(s). I thought we had left that….
That was hillarious. Please upload more videos like that.
What a scoop. Really. There’s totally gotta be a congressional investigation over this one.
