Gowdy repeats call for Holder to resign ‘the easy way,’ or be impeached ‘the hard way’ Published: 12:01 AM 02/03/2012 | Updated: 5:05 PM 02/03/2012 Tweet inShare6 Email This Article Print This Article By Matthew Boyle - The Daily Caller Bio | Archive | Email Matthew Boyle Follow Matthew Boyle Get Matthew Boyle Feed

South Carolina Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy reaffirmed his call for Attorney General Eric Holder’s resignation “the easy way,” or impeachment “the hard way,” during an interview with The Daily Caller after Thursday’s House oversight committee hearing during which Holder testified about Operation Fast and Furious.

While he was questioning Holder at the hearing, Gowdy explained that officials at the Department of Justice’s headquarters were aware of Fast and Furious and gun-walking tactics long before a “demonstrably false” letter was sent to Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley claiming otherwise. Since the DOJ sent that letter, which stated it never let guns walk, it has withdrawn the letter because it of its inaccuracies.

“I think he wound up admitting at the end [of the hearing] that Main Justice knew of gun-walking, so this notion that we’re going to blame it all on the United States Attorney’s office in Arizona or ATF – I went through a litany of people, all of them were Main Justice employees who knew about gunwalking both in Fast and Furious and before which means the letter that was sent to Senator Grassley was demonstrably false,” Gowdy told TheDC.

Can’t really say anything because the threat of “impeachment” is nothing to the threats he’s had from Obama. Must cover for the Administration because dirt naps aren’t comfortable.

Don’t threaten him, that’s just grandstanding.

Indict, arrest, arraign, try in court.

Do it now!

The congressmen involved with Holder will NEVER impeach the wretch. This clown will retire with public honors; a pension valued in the billions and having a clause increasing the payout at a rate greater than inflation. He will have a book ghost written for him that will make him millions; he be the subject of a movie demonstrating how he overcame racial prejudice; and at the end of his life he will be portrayed as finding Jee-zuss and will be seen to ascend into heaven to sit on the right hand of God.

I don’t care if he does resign, he needs to be prosecuted.

Oprah’s boyfriend, hoisted on his own petard!
My advice to AG Holder: `soap-on-a-rope.’

Total waste of tax payer's money and politician's time. The House can certainly impeach Holdr (just like Clinton), but the Senate will never convict him (just like Clinton). Just a lot of political hot air...although it would be fun to watch.

Trey

Gowdy

Ping!

Want on or off this ping list? Just drop me a FReep mail.

Perhaps Rep Gowdy will favor us and run against Twinkletoes Graham in 2014.

I predict an early natural or accidental death. Holder knows waaaaaay too much.

Federal prison in his future. Oh, I hope so. I sincerely hope so. I have never seen a more corrupt cabinet member in my lifetime.

Forget it. Just a bunch of Big Talk from the Republican cowards. Holder and his thugs went in to a hearing on Thursday and made fun of Congress.

They dared the weaklings to slap them and they didn't. Just a bunch of talk, Issa will end up meekly congratulating Holder for his courageous work trying to interdict the evil drug traffickers, albeit by unorthodox methods.

The Romneyites will be wide eyed wringing their hands saying "don't be mean to the black guy! don't say anything bad!"

And the criminal knows it. Just like his buddy who put him on the throne.

Prison would be good. Pink mist would be better.

Yes to both, in that order!
