It's time for Congress to impeach Attorney General Eric Holder.
Congress may remove from office "all civil officers of the United States" if they are convicted of "treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors," the Constitution says (Article II, Section 4).
Only the House of Representatives can impeach, which is comparable to indictment. The official is then tried by the Senate, where a two-thirds vote is required for conviction.
The Constitution doesn't say what constitutes "high crimes and misdemeanors," but perjury surely is among them. So is obstruction of justice.

Holder should have been sent to prison as a result of the Waco massacre. He got a free pass on the whole thing but was up to his chin in the decision making and operations.
It's my hope that Karma's gonna git him. Then the devil's own can work him over real slow-like.
