Holder charged with contempt of congress

Post by sjfcontrol »

Fox is reporting that Darrell Issa is issuing a 48-page contempt of congress charge against Eric Holder due to his refusal to respond to document requests.

I am not a lawyer, nor have I played one on TV, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, nor should anything I say be taken as legal advice. If it is important that any information be accurate, do not use me as the only source.

This is great news. Although the MSM has done some reporting on "Fast and Furious/Gunwalker" programs,
this should light a greater bonfire against this anti-2A outrage.

I sure hope so. They've tried hard to distance F&F as an "ATF screw up".....indicting the attorney general should make this harder to distance from the administration.

This is interesting. I wonder if he'll claim some kind of immunity. I wonder if the Obamanation will be willing to stick his neck out for him in an election year.

How about another backroom deal? Holder takes the fall with the promise of a pardon from O.

IF the the man occupying the White House loses this fall, he can certainly pardon people on his way out. Most of them do, IIRC.

Interesting that you can be held in contempt for lying to the largest body of liars that comes to mind....
