WH, Justice Dept. silent as 34 congressmen call for Holder’s resignation
Yahoo ^ | 11/2/11 | Matthew Boyle - Daily Caller

Posted on 11/02/2011 9:29:40 PM PDT by NormsRevenge

There are now 34 members of Congress calling for Attorney General Eric Holder’s immediate resignation, as four more called for Holder to step down on Wednesday.

The new members calling for Holder’s resignation are Republican Reps. Thaddeus McCotter of Michigan, Diane Black of Tennessee, Bob Latta of Ohio and Kenny Marchant of Texas.

“I call upon Attorney General Holder to resign his post as our nation’s top law enforcement official,” Marchant said .. “Ever since the first details of Operation Fast and Furious emerged, Attorney General Holder has been less than forthright with Congress as to his knowledge of Fast and Furious. Unfortunately, this ill-conceived operation has already led to the killing of a border patrol agent.”

Marchant questions Holder’s testimony before Congress at a May 3 Judiciary Committee hearing, during which he said he hadn’t learned of Operation Fast and Furious until a few weeks earlier — even though Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley told TheDC he personally handed Holder a letter on the topic months earlier when the attorney general was in his office. Senior aides also sent Holder numerous briefing memos on the subject, including the name and intimate details of the failed operation, as early as July 2010. Holder now claims he didn’t read the memos.

Another reason it appears as though Holder lied to Congress on May 3 is that President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton both discussed Operation Fast and Furious in media interviews about a month before Holder claims he knew of it. Republican Reps. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina and Jason Chaffetz of Utah have asked Obama to clarify how he was able to speak about Operation Fast and Furious in a media interview while Holder was apparently, at least according to his claims, unaware of the operation.

Yeah, because those representatives are racist. Can’t you tell? Cain said so himself that any attack on a Black man are motivated by race.

34 out of 435. Better but still sad.

Can only wish the call for Obama’s resignation.

Hey, don't knock it. There were only 28 earlier today. This is catching on fast.

This is a bone to us saps.
We catch them killing our own and we have to prove it twice over.
They find a rumor and we have to defend ourselves twice over.
We are harmless as doves. Not sure of our subtlety.

Calls for his resignation are increasing exponentially. I hope he resists. I want him impeached next year!

I AGREE WITH THAT

The piss-stream media ignores the gangster government's corruption on a daily basis now. Sad, real sad. Nothing to see here, folks, just move along. Ignore the dead bodies.

Considering the level of stupidity on display at ATF, the agency might want to consider an insanity defense.

The number seems to double every time I see an update. The first I heard of it, there were 8 or 9. Then there were 17. Now there are 34.

Until some Dems jump on board, it will be a moot issue.

What if the entire Congress called for Holder’s resignation? What then? Does anyone think the despot-in-chief would pay the slightest attention? All that would do is prove beyond a doubt, to those who haven’t realized it yet, that we are not in charge of our country anymore.

Today would be a perfect day to have a press conference and call for Holders immediate resignation.

This way when the RATS cry racist, the Republicans can remind them about the abuse Herman Cain is taking without the RATS lending support to a brother.

Thanks NormsRevenge. The Iranian war (any minute now, we’re just awaiting the final provocation) will be the wag the dog story to bury Holder’s and Zero’s crimes.
