And do what...

1) Demand formally that a special prosecutor be assigned.

2) vote on a resolution or make a recommendation to Congress that he be asked to resign.

3) Hold him in contempt of Congress.

They have been holding hearings for months now on this and nothing has come been resolved and it appears nothing will be.

That's a thought. That request has to be made to the President or the Attorney General.

2) vote on a resolution or make a recommendation to Congress that he be asked to resign.

I don't know if Issa or the Oversight Committee can do that. Do you?

3) Hold him in contempt of Congress.

Issa has said he would do that and set a deadline of Feb. 9th for Holder to turn over the requested documents. I guess we will all have to wait and see what happens between now and the 9th. Citing Holder for contempt may not mean a slamdunk conviction though...

——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;[9] according to the law it is the “duty” of the U.S. Attorney to refer the matter to a grand jury for action.-——

Here is the U.S. Attorney of the District of Columbia.


Ronald C. Machen Jr.

Ronald C. Machen Jr. was nominated to serve as United States Attorney for the District of Columbia by President Barack Obama on December 24, 2009. Mr. Machen’s appointment was confirmed by the United States Senate on February 11, 2010.

They have been holding hearings for months now on this and nothing has come been resolved and it appears nothing will be.

Between the time the Watergate story first broke and the first indictment was made was over a year and that was with the MSM baying for blood like a pack of rabid hounds. For comparison.
