Justice Department will not prosecute Holder over gun scandal
June 29, 2012|Reuters

(Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department said on Friday it would not prosecute Attorney General Eric Holder for refusing to turn over to Congress documents about a gun-running scandal to Mexico.

Holder, who heads the Justice Department, was cited on Thursday for contempt of Congress by the Republican-led House of Representatives. The mostly partisan vote of 255-67 marked the first time a sitting attorney general and presidential cabinet member was cited for contempt by the full House. More than 100 Democrats walked out in protest and refused to vote.

In a letter to House Speaker John Boehner, Holder’s deputy said that the attorney general properly withheld the documents under “executive privilege,” which allows President Barack Obama to keep private documents on internal government discussions.

“The department will not bring the Congressional contempt citation before a grand jury or take any other action to prosecute the attorney general,” said Deputy Attorney General James Cole.

I spent 2 hours last night going thru all the AP stories in the May 2012 time. The reason is per news sources they tapped the line at the congress the AP used. I am looking at the stories and many were about Holder and Fast and Furious. I am trying to tie this to that not this stupid terror event. Why 20 phone lines? To mask they were listening at the congress?
