I've been in contempt of Holder for years. . . . .

[Cavalry Doc]

Not getting my hopes up here. Even if they do, I don't see much chance in Mr Holder leaving his job over this.

[concretefuzzynuts]

He'll be leaving after the Nov election with the rest of that crew.

[VinnieD]

I only ask why the charge is contempt and not high treason.

[Gunhaver]

"The Justice Department later retracted the denial."

What a eloquent way to say, "The ****ers lied to congress in writing".

No lapdog media my ass.

[windplex]

the black panther voting incident - condoning voter intimidation. should have earned contempt.

this one certainly rises to it.

The grapevine has it that this isn't as important as the intelligence leaks, so a deal has already been made. It will go quietly away.

[concretefuzzynuts]

Sick of the "deals". They work for me. I don't want a deal.

I was afraid of that.

They'll drop the Fast and Furious investigation in return for a promise of full cooperation in the intelligence leaks, which are seen as a bigger chunk of red meat.

That cooperation will never come, and investigators will be met with more stalling and interference by Eric Holder.

[Cavalry Doc]

Both are important.

A shoot on sight vote would be more appealing.

Same here. I give the chances the Republican put Holder to the fire about the same as when they could have done so to Slick. Basically not a chance in hell they do.

:rofl: As long as it was done fast and furiously.
