Congressman Introduces Articles of Impeachment Against Eric Holder
— Ace

The Articles of Impeachment has four different sections. The first calls for HolderÂ’s official removal because of his failure to comply with congressional subpoenas relating to Operation Fast and Furious. Holder has been voted on a bipartisan basis into both criminal and civil contempt of Congress for his failure to comply with the Fast and Furious subpoenas from House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA).
The second section of the Articles of Impeachment deals with HolderÂ’s refusal to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), the Controlled Substances Act, and the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986. The third section calls for HolderÂ’s impeachment on the grounds that he has refused to prosecute any IRS officials involved in the Â“scandal of unauthorized disclosure of tax records belonging to political donors.Â”
The fourth section of the Articles of Impeachment goes after Holder for his involvement in the targeting of reporters. Holder testified under oath on May 15, 2013, the resolution states, that he Â“he was neither involved in nor had heard of a potential prosecution of the press.Â” Three days later, though, HolderÂ’s Department of Justice (DOJ) Â“released documents naming journalist James Rosen as a co-conspirator in an alleged violation of the Espionage Act.Â” Holder later confirmed to Congress that he had in fact Â“approved a search warrant on James Rosen.Â”

I think the part about DOMA is ill-founded-- I think the AG has discretion in such matters. But the rest of it, sure.

Seriously, I get that the R party has little power, and can't really accomplish anything right now, but if it's all political theater, I'm not interested.

All things considered, I'd rather watch fake wrassling. It's more authentic.

Please impeach McCain while you're at it!

Article 1: For being a weasely panty-waist that lost to Obama and tried to blame Palin.

Article 2: For continually sticking a stilleto in the backs of conservatives. Whack-o bird my ass!

Article 3: For his strictly dickly daughter and her thoughts on conservatism.

Article 4: Shamnesty

59 Why not? Because it just lets the media AGAIN portray conservatives as not serious. And the media will be all over it because it will be true. Suppose the House votes a bill of impeachment. The Senate will find Holder not guilty in about three seconds. And that will be tragic because he is guilty. People think impeachment means removal. Wrong. Removal requires the Senate. The time to impeach is if and when we regain the Senate. Otherwise, it will be viewed as a stunt because it is one.

Happy it was sooner rather than later. Yeah, I get this sentiment, but I disagree. Obama is overwhelming the system with corruption. He's breaking healthcare, robbing Fanny and Freddie investors, screwing up Iran, Fast and Furious was just the tip, there were at least three more branches of gunwalking scandal that didn't get coverage, etc etc etc. Rs have to combat him on other things too.

Posted by: real joe at November 13, 2013 01:37 PM (xXhgd)

64 No Ace.. the whole idea of Prosecutorial Discretion is that it is to be used to decide if its worth it to put resources into a Case... ie... can they win... It does NOT cover the idea that they only get to enforce laws they like.... or for the AG to not DEFEND laws he does not like. It goes directly to the performance of his sworn duties, which is to uphold the LAW.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Thursday will convene a special meeting of the Senate Democratic caucus and senior White Officials to discuss the troubled rollout of ObamaCare.

Reid on Wednesday told reporters he would not answer questions about the hundreds of thousands of insurance policy cancellations or other issues until he has further discussions with the White House.

66 Bring forth the charges let them roll anybody and everybody who has refused to do their job should be charged not just Holder let's see some accountability in the public sector like we have on the private sector .

I think that this is a case of pile it on and I'm glad of it. I don't think that this can distract from O-Care as long as it is effecting people's lives. I think Holder should have been disqualified for this position for the shenanigans that he pulled while working for Slick Willy.

I hope that there are conservatives in the media and Congress that will remind people that Hillary was all for this O-Care type plan. Don't let Bill try to weasel her out of it. Remind everyone and make her explain herself. It would be nice if she also could be asked out Holder and Marc Rich, FALN, her Brother in law, etc. Pitting a Clinton against a Clinton could be a lot of fun. Oh and by the way, ask her why she was fired from Nixon's impeachment proceedings.

The GOP is complicity in mainstreaming the corruption of the Democrat/Media alliance if they don't throw at the batter and force him to respect the box some.

I'd do my best to make charges that people KNOW he is guilty of and have donkey go into "fuck you he's our dick" mode....

I think its the perfect time. Making the WH decide to use its resources to defend Holder instead of using them to spin there way out of Obamacare or not is a win / win.

My goal is not to use the impeachment as a publicity coup for Republicans but to actually impeach someone who deserves it ten times over. I don't care if a successful impeachment never reaches the press. Some people just deserve killin in the metaphorical sense.

They may have timed the "optics" so that it does coincide with elections. This stuff gets pushed so far out. Also, I'm not sure on the scheduling of such things. For all we know, there is something else amiss, and they are trying to bombard Holder so that he does no more harm. Although, to be honest, he doesn't give a shit, ignores the law and keeps moving his agenda forward.

86 1. The impeachment proceedings demand some time from the Dems to respond, which will weaken to some extent their response to Obamacare fuckups. Simply spreads their resources thinner. Win.

2. To many of the LIVs, "impeachment" = removal. So Holder gets tainted to some extent. Most of them no doubt "remember" that Nixon got impeached and removed.

Yes, I know Nixon resigned, to avoid impeachment, but this is LIVs we're talking about.

191 Impeaching the AG because he didn't fight for DOMA is idiotic. Impeaching a black AG because he didn't fight for DOMA is idiotic and can easily be perceived as racist and homophobic.

Posted by: Mr. Moo Moo at November 13, 2013 05:55 PM (0LHZx)

Then make the case that there is no justifiable reason for impeachment. But to say that we will be accused of racism is exactly what the left has been counting on for a long time, with great measure of success.

Unless you are projecting that your only reason to take action against Holder would be based on his skin color. Is that what you are saying? Are you a racist?

You realize most black deeply resent the appropriation of the term racist by the gay lobby. I've been present when black DC politicians have been verbally abused by their constituents for making the connection. This issue is a wedge a smart Republican party could exploit ... but who are we kidding.

I say flood the zone to give the overall impression that Obama is failing, that his admin is full of incompetents and incompetence. Keep the pressure on all of the scandals - remind everyone of Benghazi, fast and Furious, IRS, etc.

211 This is a pointless, stupid, and ridiculous gesture of racist hate against a black Attorney General just because they lack the courage to even *try* impeaching our magnificent mixed-race President. Just because they can find two hundred racist rednecks to be Representatives does not give them the right to hold the rest of American hostage or to threaten our President's policies and helpers.

.

.I had a woman who worked for me that thought Palin really said the "I can see Russia from my House" line. When I proved to her that was a lie she just sat there for a few minutes and finally said "God, I am an idiot". She wised up a bit from that day.

220 I submit the following-- THE OATH OF OFFICE-- Now if you cannot be removed from office for violation of your oath, then I submit it is naught but a useless exercise.--rod "Every officer in the executive branch, and indeed all employees in the federal government, save a few rare instances that are Constitutionally or otherwise statutorily differentiated -- i.e. the President, and Supreme Court justices, recite the following oath: 'I (name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.' This requirement dates back to the period immediately following the initial ratification of the United States, but it was expanded greatly at the behest of Abraham Lincoln, who "ordered all federal civilian employees within the executive branch to take an expanded oath." Indeed, even postal employees take this same oath. Read more: What is the oath of office of the US Attorney General? | Answerbag http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/41797#ixzz2kZcTy0ZP

221 Ace -- please consider---, while one may consider DOMA ill founded, it is still the law of the land. This argument was put forth re: Obamacare. What was said--bad law or not, it is the law. If you do not LIKE the law, it matters not. If you think it a bad law, it matters not. Until it is properly changed or repealed-- it is the law. It IS past time to reign in the IDIOT and his minions.

No impeachment for failing to enforce immigration laws. But, Holder didn't go after the potheads and the fags! That's important!

Whatev's, GOP. Not impressed.
