Ted Cruz: Eric Holder Should Appoint IRS Special Prosecutor or Be Impeached
NRO ^ | June 26, 2014 | Joel Gehrke

Attorney General Eric Holder should be impeached if he refuses to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the targeting of tea party groups by the IRS, according to Senator Ted Cruz (R., Texas).

With the IRS claiming to have lost two years of former official Lois Lerner’s emails, Cruz is headed to the floor to introduce a resolution calling for the special prosecutor.

“He’s going to say, if Attorney General Holder does not appoint a special prosecutor, he should be impeached,” a Cruz aide told National Review Online. “Eric Holder has been at the center of every big scandal in this administration . . . If he doesn’t act on this issue, it’s perfectly appropriate for him to be impeached.”

These guys are whistlin’ Dixie as long as thug Holder and thug partner are in power. Hold the house and get the senate and we’ll see if they have the b@ll$ to impeach them.

Valerie Jarrett is the liaison between Obama and his handlers, but.. Who are his handlers? Bear in mind ISIS and their march across the middle east. Obama’s handlers BACK ISIS, but.. Why? His handlers aren’t all Muslims!

What can I say? There are so many reasons why Eric Holder should be forcibly removed from office, indicted, tried, found guilty, and incarcerated, that this is only one of a long list.

Does Holder not know of the saga of John N. Mitchell?

Holder is already in Contempt of Congress. Congress has the inherent power to arrest and imprison for Contempt of Congress. They don’t need the DOJ or the Courts. The House could send the Sergeant at Arms to arrest him and Lerner RIGHT NOW. But don’t hold your breath for that to happen because the GOP Establishment are in cahoots with the Obama Regime.

This is just Cruz running his mouth some more. And doing precisely nothing.

The House can arrest Lerner and anyone else connected with the IRS scandal. Expecting the terminally corrupt Eric Holder to do anything to carry their water for them is childish at best and disingenuous at worst.

They don’t want to do the the icky parts of their jobs, so it’s mighty convenient to blame Holder.

Hey, Senator Cruz? The border of your state, and the United States, was just breached by invaders about a thousand times while I was typing this. What are you doing about that?

Why does this guy think he can be President, again? (And yes, FR legalists, I know he’s a senator, not a member of the House.)

Holder has already announced that he is leaving this year anyway. I think he planned to leave after the Nov election.

He can be impeached, but it is a moot point now.

Jail him. That’ll start the inevitable constitutional crisis that requires impeaching/removing the entire criminal Obama regime.

The House can arrest Lerner and anyone else connected with the IRS scandal.

But neither the House nor the Senate has exercised this power since 1934.

Any idea why not? Can't be a "gutless Republican" thing, since Congress has spent most of that eighty year period in Democrat hands.

Cruz is headed to the floor to introduce a resolution calling for the special prosecutor....Cruz should be introducing legislation that totally defunds the DOJ. Period. Until they become forthcoming. The rest of this crap is just Kabuki.

JAIL ERIC HOLDER ( you’ve already held him in contempt of Congress ).

That will put the fear of God in whoever is his replacement.

THEN, tell the replacement to appoint a special prosecutor.

As I see it, Congress refuses to exercise its punitive powers.

Why don’t they arrest Eric Holder? They’ve already held him in contempt of Congress.

If being held in contempt means nothing, of course they are going to be more brazen...

Keep the House, win the Senate and remove all of them from office. Then arrest every czar and charge them with sedition. And there is not a damn thing they can do about it.

Oh wait, we are rooting for the democrats to beat the RINO’s in the Senate races.

Never mind.

Issa said the other night that he had filed 4 criminal charges against Lerner and Holder has not acted.
