Blah, blah, blah....

Issa keeps threatening, Holder keeps saying "piss off".

Grow a set Issa and DO IT!

"Could someone please tell me what happens after a person is voted to be in Contempt of Congress? What are the legal consequences and what are the real consequences for Holder?

Well, all the cable networks put up a little graphic on their screens - CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS and Holder, depending on what Congress decides, (this will take a couple or several months) files a criminal complaint against him.

Nothing much.

Then his lawyers come in and scream racism - before you know it, Obama asks for his resignation and gives him a blanket pardon.

The End!

Sam Donaldson will just accuse Issa of being a racist for pushing this vote forward.

Holder will start his defense out with “This is a high-tech lynching of a black man”.

Obama’s in deep on this. No other reason. Docs prove it.

That's been my contention all along.

Not only would it be impossible for Maobama not to know about this, it would be impossible for him not to directly aprove it.

The missing link is in the docs.

So what the hell does this mean or do. He will still tell Issa to go to heck. He is protected under the communists umbrella of King Obama.

Wiggle room indeed:

“Issa said he has “no hard deadlines” but that the committee must receive the documents from Justice before the hearing at 10 a.m. Wednesday. That gave Holder’s side roughly 16 hours to comply.”

Bah.

The best I can guess is that nothing will happen in that there would have to be an investigation, done by the Just Us department. Not much doubt about how long that would take and how it would eventually come out.

Toespi, you may be correct. The problem here is we’re getting closer and closer to another general election.

This will not help Obama and company.
