14 letters to AG Holder? Probably all have been ignored.

Time to shit or get off the pot, Issa

Would the author prefer this Holder matter to peak today, or peak closer to election day?

Holder is a steaming pile of crap, but I’d rather broom him and his bisexual benefactor in November than climax this soap opera too early so voters can forget by November.

Give the traitor commie/moslem lover every chance to meet Issa’s demands. Then, when he inevitably follows Omoslem’s orders to obstruct justice and hide the murders they’ve been accessory to, throw their filthy butts in the street.

You've pointed out the exact reason why this country has gone off its’ rails. It's corrupt for an elected official(s) to lend credence to a who is right verses a what is right in the eye of the law. The law is supposed to apply equally, regardless of ones complexsion. The continued demise of this republic is a certainty unless and or until WE THE PEOPLE force the reinstatement of the equal justice mandate to include an instant removal from office mechanism that will hold every damned elected and appointed official accountable to their oath of office.

Play it out through the election then bind this over to the 113th where Holder can be extradited to rot in a Mexican pit.
Or just make a movie out of it…

Don't criticize Issa too quickly. The Republicans in the House could use a contempt proceeding during the summer to put a lot of pressure on Obama, in which he would likely throw Holder under the bus.

Wouldn't that just be playing politics? I'm not trying to be naive, but won't the MSM and the DNC just discount proceedings in the summer as politics as usual? If Issa has the goods now he should press now and expose as corrupt all of those involved.

Unlike impeachment, contempt proceedings by congress are limited to just one of the bodies. Reid in the senate could not block it in any way, and it just requires a simple majority vote, first by the committee, then the house as a whole.

After having found Holder in contempt shouldn't the House force the Senate to vote on the issue? If they don't aren't they just playing politics?

Should a grand jury be involved? Should there be a special prosecutor? Should Issa put Obama under pressure by demanding a special counsel?

Lots of possibilities here, some of which result in an extended pummeling of Holder and lots of pressure on Obama.

I'm all for the pressure, but I'm more for indictments if warranted.!

Regards,

TS

We agree, we are off the rails, Heck they don't even remember what the Rails looked like anymore, but even a BLIND conservative show them the way.

There is simply no one in Congress that will DO THE RIGHT THING and take the consequences of making the right decision.

It's not about helping to nominate any new Conservative Blood to help them take back America, it is about holding onto their jobs at all costs, PERIOD. Until we are all ready to THROW THEM ALL OUT, there will be no change.

I believe this is our Samuel 15 (God orders Saul to kill ALL the Amalekites),moment/year. The kill here would the VOTE, we either take this moment in time or FORGET about it. We will say, throw THEM out but not our own Congressman, TO HELL WITH THAT THINKING. Throw them all out. Until we do that, we get the same old, same old.

I hope you are right. Maybe it is Kabuki.

I viewed the late 2011 hearing and I am positive that by the end, several pubbies on the committee wanted to take Holder out back and kick the sh!t out of him.

It was a mistake to not charge Holder with perjury after that hearing.

Every outrage that goes unanswered is precedent for the next.

This country has two parties in the 2012 national election, the crony establishment party and the crony establishment party. The charade of a national election serves only to appease those foolish enough to believe they still have a voice, not with only who is elected but how the country is governed. Not that it can’t be done, to throw them all out in the true since, regrettably, will require citizen involvement to the extent not seen since the very establishment of this United States.

If Issa has the goods now he should press now and expose as corrupt all of those involved.

Right now, all Issa could do would be to have a committee vote on contempt, if the other Republicans agree to vote in favor. If not, no vote. Then, if he wins the vote, it would go to Boehner, who decides if the whole house will vote on it, which is his unique choice. They also have to decide what *kind* of contempt citation to use:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contempt_of_Congress#Procedures

After having found Holder in contempt shouldn't the House force the Senate to vote on the issue?

Contempt is of *either* the House or the Senate, not both. The whole thing is handled in either one or the other. And this is actually better, because the House cannot force the senate to do anything, or vice versa, and Reid would never agree to a senate vote.

Should a grand jury be involved? Should there be a special prosecutor? Should Issa put Obama under pressure by demanding a special counsel?

This would only apply under the second variety of contempt citation, and it can be a can of worms. Strategically, I can't say which route Issa and Boehner would take.

“fear of backlash”

is the reason we’re in this mess today. It got us McCain and Dole. It got us candidates that are afraid to campaign against 0bama. It got us an entire Congress and Judiciary that won’t touch the obvious eligibility problem.

Be bold, be truthful, be upright and honest.

Is there ANYONE with any common sense that thought that Democratic Blacks in public office, ESPECIALLY the AG and the POTUS, would NOT favor blacks and play the Race Card at EVERY opportunity?

If you would have written it that way I would have had no problem agreeing with you.

Anyone who is black will not be approached, will not be held accountable, will have free rieng and will be allowed to participate in criminal activity without prosecution. Did I get that right? When will we stop this childishness, step up to the plate and call what it is.
