#1 That "Justice" department is running roughshod of it's duty and must be brought down right now. All rulings thereof should also be re-examined. Put everything back into the adjudication folder for now until you have competent leadership in that office.

#2 Darrell Lissa - asskicker. I think Holder's hiding the fact the approval to do F&F went all the way to Obama's political team. Top men. Top men.

#4 So what can Congress do? Throw Holder in Jail?

#5 Wiki:
Following a contempt citation, the presiding officer of the chamber is instructed to refer the matter to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia[2]; according to the law it is the "duty" of the U.S. Attorney to refer the matter to a grand jury for action.

The criminal offense of "contempt of Congress" sets the penalty at not less than one month nor more than twelve months in jail and a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000.

#6 What can Congress do? Appropriate monies. Or not.

#7 So, the real question will be - Will the next administration honor an extradition request from Mexico for Holder and company for the conspiracy and murder of Mexican law enforcement officials during his tenure in office?

#8 I suspect a civil suit with discovery would be enlightening

#9 Don't forget a Border Patrol officer was also killed by one of Holder's Guns.

#10 What about high crimes and misdemeanors instead of contempt?

#11 Ultimately this goes back to Holder's boss.

#13 Apparently 150 Mexican troops and police officers have thus far been killed by the weapons Operation F&F saw so blithely shipped south of the border.

#15 I'm surprised no one's brought up impeachment proceedings against the entire Obama administration. Nothing they've done has been completely honest and above-board. Pelosi and Reid need to hang with the rest of them. That includes that sorry $^$&&%^ Ken Salazar, that I'm ashamed to admit comes from Colorado.

#17  I don't believe for a second that Eric "Place" Holder is not obeying the orders of Obama. Hold the president responsible for the failures of his minions. The list of Obama's high misdemeanors gets longer every week. Impeach HIM.
