Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, caught in a comical lie about fired US Attorney Carol Lam.

Take a moment and follow the link and read what it says. It's fascinating and should be the kind of embarrassment Hatch should never live down.

Late Update: For those of you who are interested, here's the exact text of what Hatch said (emphasis added) ...

Take Carol Lam, for instance. Carol Lam was raised on your program, Tim, by Schumer. Carol Lam, it's amazing to me she wasn't fired earlier because for three years members of the Congress had complained that there had been all kinds of border patrol capture of these people but hardly any prosecutions. She was a former law professor, no prosecutorial experience, and the former campaign manager in Southern California for Clinton, and they're trying to say that this administration appoints people politically? Of course they do. That's what these positions are. But politically they've appointed people who have been approved by the Justice Department--the Judiciary Committee, in most cases, who have served well, are strong people and, and, frankly, these, these seven were really mishandled.
