The Obama/Holder INJUSTICE Department at work. Another Obama criminal that President Ted Cruz will have to bring to justice.

Heck of job Johnny, schlepping your duty off on another branch got you nothing. Who could have seen that coming?

Can't even do that when the DOJ is just another arm of the Obama Regime's defense establishment. Congress could issue a subpoena, she could simply blow it off and if Congress held her in contempt, the charge would go to DOJ which would deep six it. The whole system breaks down when every executive branch agency is weaponized by Obama.

It’s almost Easter - the DOJ wants this ‘news’ out when people are with family or just not paying attention. The DOJ might be loopy, vile, and unfair - but they’re not stupid

Civil charges will work.

So obvious it hurts: if there is no way the representatives of the people can indict an agent of the Executive branch, tyranny is here, and it will only get worse.

If they were going to prosecute, they would have started after Congress held her in contempt.

I think they are releasing this now, so that Congress can not say that the new attorney general is being unreponsive.

Doesn’t CONGRE$$ have the authority to try her themselves?

Shame if they don’t.

What about charges on her abuse of power or depravation of rights under color of law?

She broke the law - that is why she would not testify!

Other charges are pending.

This was just the issue of her taking the Fifth being in contempt and a prosecutable offense.

And this is one DOJ lawyer’s opinion.

Trey Gowdy is a lawyer also—and a former prosecutor.
