The Eric Holder Thread

McCain should claim that a video caused him to go to Syria.

 

She does not think those "crimes" were just alleged.

OOPS! Holder now admits he was in on Rosen's search warrant.

I wish some one could explain to me how his Congressional testimony could possibly align with signing the warrant accusing Rosen as complicit with the crime.​

FWIW, he said, “With regard to potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material, that is not something that I have ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be a wise policy.”​

 

It's time for Holder to resign​

By Jay Sekulow​

Let’s begin with a dose of common sense: Credible accusations of perjury compromise the authority of law enforcement officers, regardless of their rank. ​

​

Even at the lowest level, law enforcement officials exercise enormous power – holding liberty in their hands as they exercise the discretion of their office, deciding whom to investigate and to prosecute. ​

​

As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. That certainly applies to those at the top – including the attorney general – the nation’s top law enforcement officer. His chief responsibility: upholding the Constitution and the rule of law. And that requires being honest and forthcoming. ​

​

Attorney General Eric Holder has failed in this responsibility. Simply put, with the First Amendment and press freedom at stake, he misled Congress, misled a federal court, and misled the American people.​

To recap: On May 15, 2013, Attorney General Holder told Congress, under oath, the following:​

"With regard to the potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material, that is not something that I've ever been involved with, heard of, or would think would be a wise policy."​

​

The problem? Attorney General Holder had previously signed an affidavit in support of a search warrant in a criminal leak investigation declaring there was: “probable cause to believe that the reporter [Fox News Chief Washington Correspondent James Rosen] has committed or is committing a violation of section 793(d), as an aider and abettor and/or co-conspirator, to which the materials relate.”​

​

He’s never even been “involved with” the “potential prosecution” of the press, yet he told a federal court that there was “probable cause” to believe that a reporter had committed a crime? How are those messages consistent?​

I hope the conservatives in this nation and the Republicans in Congress pursue this matter to the conclusion that Holder resigns. It appears Holder has perjured himself, but does that really matter to liberals? I'll answer that question by saying it only matters to them if the guy in the hotseat belongs to the opposing party.

Personally, I would say keep Holder in there if he had done a good job. I have nothing personal against the man, have never met him or had dinner with him. But, the job he's done since rising to that position has been absolutely terrible. He's been held in Contempt of Congress over the Fast and Furious scandal and now the AP Phone Records scandal comes along and it looks like he's knee-deep in it (and lied about it). So, yeah, he needs to go. If he doesn't resign, Obama should fire him. I'd actually respect Obama just a teeeeensy bit more if he did.

 

I've said it before...Holder & BO are co-conspirators in so many scandals, BO can't afford to piss him off.
