Eric Holder

[moreluck]

The Democratic Party’s resistance to holding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress is crumbling.

Utah Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson said Tuesday he plans to vote in favor of holding Holder in contempt over his refusal to comply with a subpoena into the Operation Fast and Furious scandal.

“It just compounds the tragedy when both sides play politics instead of releasing the facts. The Terry family, the public and Congress deserve answers,” Matheson said in remarks first reported by the Salt Lake Tribune in his home state. “

Sadly, it seems that it will take holding the attorney general in contempt to communicate that evasiveness is unacceptable.”

I watched on C-SPAN the Democrats walk out of the House for the Contempt vote. Someone should've locked them out and docked their pay!!

I think they were going to sit in the back of the bus since the Republicans are not there anymore.

Today's stock market up triple digits........latest news was the Witholder vote in the house after close yesterday and this is the reaction........................That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it!!!

What happens now that Holder is held in contempt ??

They will threaten to take away his birthday, no desert for a week, and they will think ill of him for 3-4 hours; then they will be called racists and will drop everything, apologize and promote him to Executive Secret Senior Attorney General.
What happens is that Revs Al and Jesse will call out the mob and demand that anyone in Congress who voted to hold Holder in contempt be impeached and flayed alive for being racist.

All we know for sure is that the MSM will report it as being a very big problem for the GOP.

My vote is to have him waterboarded until he gives up the documents.

Not a darn thing. O’bie will grant him some sort of immunity from everything including malaria and shingles. Sick and sad. Can they hold uncle o’bie in contempt? Probably not. Everything’s “sealed”.

He will be put on Triple-Double Secret Probation for a month..................
I believe that the Just-Us Dept would investigate.
And you know what that means.

Folks, Holder is a lying crook.
His boss is a lying crook.
Reid is a senile ugly lying crook.
Pelosi is a bitchy ignorant ugly lying crook.
Does anyone even imagine that anything will come of this?

All we know for sure is that the MSM will report it as being a very big problem for the GOP. Yes... and that the GOP has jeopardized its standing with blacks.


The black Obama vote will go from 98% to 99%.


Nothing will happen.
Congress will find Holder in contempt and go on vacation next week.
They will not return to DC until October just before the elections and they will focus on matters that “take precedence at this time”

The same thing as happened to Charles Rangel when he was officially censured and hoo haa’ed by Congress.
The same thing that happened to Ted Kennedy for Chappaquiddick.
NOTHING

Democrats claim ‘RACIST WITCH HUNT’ and garner more white guilt sympathy votes for Obama in November?

If Eric Holder is held in Contempt of Congress, the issue goes the US Attorney for DC for prosecution.
Unfortunately, his boss is, well, Eric Holder.
In the unlikely event Holder is convicted of contempt of Congress the punishment is up to $1000 fine and up to 12 months in prison.

Eric Holder will be shunned by all honest lawyers, Santa Claus, and the Easter Bunny and will be feted by Democrats, Progressives, Socialists, and Communists.


Nothing. Obama. the Democrats, and the media will protect him.


Holder will return to his lucrative career defending Islamist terrorists.

And this is why they file TWO resolutions.....civil contempt and criminal contempt

Try and contain your shock and amazement.

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department has declared that Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision to withhold information about a bungled gun-tracking operation from Congress does not constitute a crime and he won’t be prosecuted for contempt of Congress.

In a letter to House Speaker John Boehner, the department says that it will not bring the congressional contempt citation against Holder to a federal grand jury and that it will take no other action to prosecute the attorney general.

Deputy Attorney General James Cole says the decision is in line with long-standing Justice Department practice across administrations of both political parties.

What a waste of the House's time !!!!!!!!!!!

3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . . racism!

WASHINGTON — A day after House Republicans made history by voting to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, the Congressional Black Caucus on Friday forced the House to vote on a measure to scold Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) for his treatment of the nation’s top law enforcement official.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) put forward a privileged resolution stating that Issa, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, violated House rules during his handling of his months-long probe into the Justice Department’s botched “Fast and Furious” operation. A privileged resolution specifically applies when a lawmaker charges another with breaking rules relating to the dignity of the House or the reputation of its members.

Lee requested that the House clerk read aloud the entire resolution, which ticked off several instances in which Issa behaved in a way that Democrats say was out of line. Those instances included, per the resolution, publicly calling Holder “a liar” and demonstrating “unprofessional behavior” that could jeopardize investigations underway in Congress.

“The House of Representatives disapproves of the behavior of the chair for interfering with ongoing criminal investigations; insisting on a personal attack against the Attorney General of the United States; and for calling the Attorney General of the United States a liar on national television without corroborating evidence, thereby discredit to the integrity of the House,” the resolution concludes.
