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.

That just shows that you don't pay attention at all......there were 2 contempt votes...... they knew ahead of time that the criminal one was going nowhere because Witholder is the boss and his underlings won't go afer him.......but the vote is on the record!

The civil contempt charge continues with the hiring of independent lawyers filing civil suit for court to get the judge to have Witholder turn over documents. We'll see how that comes out.

You are so uninformed that it's pathetic. Thanks for trying to play!!

SERIOUSLY, it appears this is going nowhere. He won't be prosecuted by his own people!

Does anyone feel (as I do) that Holder will resign soon?

I would like to see him resign, but the hiring of independent lawyers is continuing for his civil contempt charge.
He's only going to be negative press for his BFF (boss), so he really should get out of the way.

The civil charge is ALSO going nowhere FAST.... the GOP will continue to show america that they are TIME WASTERS and MONEY WASTERS.

Political theatre at its best. And the GOP wonders why it has a 9% approval rating tonight.

The more the GOP pushes on this issue, the worse its going to get for them in NOVEMBER.

They are going to talk their way out of control of the HOUSE by november.

DOJ won't prosecute The NBP Party , even after they won the case.
DOJ won't prosecute their own boss.
BUT they will prosecute any state that challenges bhos' wishes.
Anyone else see the pattern here ?
(hint) It ain't racist . Just plain old stupidity.

You were doing the "Ha Ha"dance thinking it was all done yesterday. Check post 179 in this thread!!

Even if it goes nowhere, it will be a pimple on "O"s butt 'til November. A combo of that, the economy, jobs, etc. could be his undoing!!

"But the point should not be lost that for 18 months the House has attempted to negotiate with Holder’s Justice Department the release of documents to which is entitled. That the nation’s top law enforcement officer should continue to stonewall that investigation like some sort of mafia don is beyond belief.

And this from the man who continues to fight for the right of dead people to vote in Florida!"

Giddy up!

Via Washington Examiner:
A federal court in Washington, DC, held today that political appointees appointed by President Obama did interfere with the Department of Justice’s prosecution of the New Black Panther Party.

The ruling came as part of a motion by the conservative legal watch dog group Judicial Watch, who had sued the DOJ in federal court to enforce a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for documents pertaining to the the New Black Panthers case. Judicial Watch had secured many previously unavailable documents through their suit against DOJ and were now suing for attorneys’ fees.

Obama’s DOJ had claimed Judicial Watch was not entitled to attorney’s fees since “none of the records produced in this litigation evidenced any political interference whatsoever in” how the DOJ handled the New Black Panther Party case. But United States District Court Judge Reggie Walton disagreed.​
