So When Is Eric Holder Indicted?
 

Yet more perjury....

WASHINGTON - New documents obtained by CBS News show Attorney General Eric Holder was sent briefings on the controversial Fast and Furious operation as far back as July 2010. That directly contradicts his statement to Congress.

On May 3, 2011, Holder told a Judiciary Committee hearing, "I'm not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks."

Everyone who testifies before Congress does so under oath.  This makes Holder's statements perjury, a criminal act.

So where are you Mr. Issa?  Where's the formal (and very public) referral for prosecution?  Yeah, there might be a problem referring something back to the same department (Judiciary) where Holder sits, but does that mean you shouldn't do it?

No, it means you should do it, and then when rebuffed you then start impeachment proceedings.

It's time Mr. Issa.  We have dead people on both sides of the border here, and evidence that Fast and Furious may have been an intentional attempt to justify more gun control laws -- and not as an afterthought, but as a goal of the program.

If you have evidence of this, and there's chatter that you do, let's have it.  That's an act, if true, that borders on sedition as it is awfully close to a direct attempt to overthrow the Constitution literally by force.

Update: Oops - looks like that's exactly what we're seeing the start of!

EXCLUSIVE: House Republicans are calling for a special counsel to determine whether Attorney General Holder perjured himself during his testimony to the House Judiciary Committee on Operation Fast and Furious, Fox News has learned.

I seem to recall some steroid-head ball player being harassed over lying to CONgress...did that happen?

...guess steroid use is baseball is something that is VERY important. If you lie to a group of treasonous, lying, bankster-bobbing hypocritical sacks of human feces, is that wrong?

If you lie to the Devil, is that a sin?

Maybe we're just a Nation of Cowards on BOTH race and lying in the Star Chamber of CONgressional testimony.

Burn that RACIST asshat.

(I guess here is where I would have to explain that 'burn' has many meanings other than actually setting him on fire. I do not want to set him on fire. I dont want to be viewed as a racist. )

This incident is the most ridiculous and blatent slap in the face to the American public by our government. The amount of lies being thrown around is nuts.

Traitors to our country as far as i'm concerned. Treasonous. We know what Thomas Jefferson woulda done on the White House lawn....

Requiring him to be truthful is against his cultures (politician+lawyer) and would be racist too.

I am sorry, but I do not trust Issa. I believe he has somehow been obstructing the process. He said he does not want a special prosecutor for Fast and Furious because it would undermine his investigation. I take that as he wants control so that nothing comes of any of this. I hope he proves me wrong, but up to this point I see a lot of talk but not much action. The blog-o-sphere gets very excited when some new info comes out and believe me there is enough out there to put all of those involved away for a long time, but it goes nowhere. There are whistle blowers, audio tapes, emails, etc. What more do they need????

If a lyer lies to a bunch of lyers is it really lying?

In order to survive in this new world we are living in do I need to teach my son how to lie?

In my own experience everytime I lie, there are consequences. Why are there no consequences for these guys?

I don't trust Issa either. He is a sketchy character with a bad past (grand theft auto, if I remember correctly). Elijah Cummings has been trying for some time to get Issa to subpoena the banksters, but Issa refuses to act. No, Issa more likely is a problem rather than a solution.

Hand Holder's rear to Grassley, without delay.

Why haven't any of the Republican presidential candidates brought this issue up in their campaigns? I know they are competing against themselves at the moment, but there has been plenty of talk about what they would do compared to Obama.

Holder is just the latest in a very long line of crooked AG's that deserves prosecution. Their job is to directly aid and abet their Administration.

Perjury is racist.

Anyway, we can all hope, I suppose, for a speedy trial and a speedier execution.

All of the above is precisely why I believe revolution, violent or non-violent is the only way to save the nation. Corruption has reached critical mass. Holder is a lying prick, Issa is sketchy, Cummings is not trustable and on and on and on and on- in fact they all are ****ing corrupt and need to bring down the entire thing. It's the only way out

What's the evidence that it may have been an attempt to push for more gun control laws? I mean, I have very strong suspicions that is the case, but I haven't seen anything yet that proves it in an ironclad fashion (particularly an iron-clad fashion of the sort I can throw in the face of the local neighborhood hoplophobes here). I'd love to have it if you've got it though. I watched the case closely for a bit, but then family troubles intervened - did something new come out?
