Barack Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder is hanging by the proverbial thread these days as members of Congress prepare for a decisive push to remove Holder from his position as head of the Department of Justice. For anyone left wondering what the fuss is about…here’s just a brief list of some of Eric Holder’s “greatest hits” :
-FAST AND FURIOUS
Failed and deadly gunrunning operation known as Fast and Furious that internal memos clearly indicated was implemented in part to initiate newly legislated gun control laws. Thousands of high powered weapons went directly into the hands of known criminals and continue to be used in crimes to this day. Nearly 100 members of Congress have indicated no confidence and/or are calling for Holder’s resignation largely due to the Fast and Furious debacle alone. Accusations of cover-up of Fast and Furious against Eric Holder persist and he is due to testify before Congress again on the matter next month.
-NEW BLACK PANTHER VOTER INTIMIDATION SCANDAL
It was an open and shut case – video evidence and an earlier completed investigation by the Civil Rights division of the Department of Justice confirmed that members of the radicalized New Black Panthers had violated voters civil rights during the 2008 presidential election. Soon after being sworn in as Attorney General, Eric Holder ordered the case dropped. Internal memos showed an environment within the Holder DOJ that had no interest in prosecuting any civil rights cases where Whites were the victims – only cases where minorities were victims. It was a shocking revelation of institutionalized racism that continues to permeate the Obama administration to this day.
-REVEALED IDENTITIES OF NINE CIA OPERATIVES
In what was a gesture of purely politicized pro-Muslim support, Attorney General Holder compromised the safety of nine Bush-era CIA interrogators responsible for obtaining information from suspected terrorist operatives. Each of these individuals and their families were put at great risk for retaliation from Muslim radicals for their role in providing valuable information to help secure the safety of the United States and its citizens. Attorney General Holder then called those responsible for revealing the identities of those CIA interrogators “patriots”, creating an environment of fear and uncertainty within the CIA that continues so long as Eric Holder remains at the Department of Justice and Barack Obama remains in the White House.
Let us not forget Holder’s coverup of Elena Kagen’s involvement in creating and supporting of “Obamacare” for which she may be one of the Supremes to hear the Obamacare challenge in the court. Fugly Kagen is refusing to recuse herself.
can she be impeached or taken off the case by the “People”? If she can, then we should start.
She should be removed from the bench for lying to Congress during her confirmation hearings. She lied when she testified under oath that she had no involvement in Obamacare. See: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Can_a_US_Supreme_Court_justice_be_impeached_and_removed_from_office
Of course impeachment proceedings must begin in the Senate and as long as Dingy Harry and the dems control the Senate nothing will happen to Kagan.
Sad state of affairs we find ourselves in!
@ Fed Up~~ You’re right and Repubs should have Borked Kagan by not permitting her to be part of the Supreme Court.
Wasn’t it that RINO Lindsay Graham who voted her onto the Supremes? Believe so….
I think that nothing will happen to Holder BECAUSE the demonrats control the senate. Patrick Leahy??? Joe Milktoast Lieberman?? LOL!!!!!!!! They won’t do anything at all because the entire congress is corrupt. They’re ALL dirty.
I used to have a great deal of hope that this would be dealt with and I spent a lot of time and effort to make it happen. Nothing is going to happen. God help us and let me be dead wrong.
I heartily agree with you Live Oak. They are ALL corrupt. When the Repub Comm called for a donation I told them I was going to register as independent because the Republicans are deaf to us and I’ve had it. I am so fed up with the DC Old Guard Repubs cramming Romney down our throats that if the election was this January…I would NOT VOTE!
They don’t get it. I went to rallies, made signs, went to Washington and helped put Repubs in office in 2010. NO MORE! They are such hypocrites! NO spine, no character. Even West kissed Boehner’s ask. They DON’T need MY vote…
Then Copper count yourself as anti American and a Vote for Obama…disgusting display of self importance…fight for the country and VOTE ABO…grow up
Eric Holder is the firewall between the corruption in the White House and arrest/indictment of IRANIAN-BORN Valerie Jarrett and impeachment of Barack Obama et.al.and when he is removed from office, there will be a window of opportunity to get evidence of the stinking rotting stench of corruption that permeates the air at 1600 Pennsylvania. What a total scumbag he is. I pray for Darryl Issa every night.
holder needs to be indicted and charged with treason not just removed…oh and he can fill one of the empty cells while waiting trial at gitmo since three taliban prisoners were released…
Orchestrating the cover-up of MBS/Mortgage fraud should be added to the extensive list of Eric Holder’s criminal acts.
Holder needs to go.
Proud and thrilled to see my state rep Jason Chaffetz all over Holder right now, he is holding his feet to the fire and has really hit him with questions and accountability. Keep it up…let’s get more congressmen like this involved and give them our support!
It’s time to throw the bums out and make rooms for those who actually love this country.
Jason Chaffetz is one of the bright lights that have happened to all of us…Bravo to him for having the ability and the heart to tell the truth
I am very proud of Chaffetz too Talk girl. He’s been doing a great job with Holder the snake. Another one that has earned my respect is Louie Gomert from Texas. He’s a good man too. We need more in government like those two.
When is the GOP gonna buy a clue and quit focusing the attention on Holder to resign. Focus should be on OBAMA to fire him!! Complete strategy here: http://www.politijim.com/2011/11/dear-darryl-issa-hit-head-not-holder.html
Revealed the names of 9 CIA operatives. Hmmmm.
Anyone read the book “Term Limits?” Does anyone expect the CIA to take this lying down? And does the name “Ron Brown” mean anything to anyone?
I’m guessing that life-after-office will be a real adventure for Mr. Holder.
I’m not advocating anything of the sort. Just prognosticating.
