Holder in peril as Dems break ranks on contempt resolution (VIDEO)
Fox News ^ | June 27, 2012 | Chad Pergram

Posted on 06/27/2012 12:29:15 PM PDT by Brown Deer

The congressional contempt vote against Attorney General Eric Holder is looking more and more like a fait accompli, as House Speaker John Boehner presses ahead with a Thursday floor vote and conservative Democrats one-by-one announce they will side with Republicans.

At least four Democrats so far have said they plan to vote to hold Holder in contempt over his refusal to turn over Operation Fast and Furious documents. Sources told Fox News that roughly 20 are likely to break ranks.

my email & fax to my rep:

Murder, dishonesty, irresponsibility, incompetence, cover-ups, lies and distortions and now protection under Executive Order. Sadly, these are all adjectives describing Eric Holder’s tenure as U.S. Attorney General.

Holder’s obstructionist conduct over “Fast and Furious” is a travesty,especially considering that the family of slain U.S. Border Agent Brian A. Terry continues to wait for justice that simply isn’t coming from “the most transparent administration” ever.

This is outrageous, and we’re joining with growing numbers of Americans who are calling for Eric Holder’s resignation. His long line of scandalous decisions from pardoning Marc Rich, to the pardon of 16 Armed Forces of National Liberation (FALN) terrorists, to his condemnation of Guantanamo Bay to refusing to defend the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and more - demonstrates that he lacks the integrity to carry out the duties and responsibilities as U.S. Attorney General.

We support the efforts of the members of Congress who are calling for Attorney General Eric Holder’s resignation. During his tenure as Attorney General he repeatedly demonstrated a lack of competence, accountability and honesty — culminating in the “Fast and Furious” gun walking scandal.
Throughout the investigation, Holder has been an obstruction to truth and justice. The American people and the nation deserve better from federal officials and to that end, we are adding our names to this petition demanding Eric Holder’s immediate resignation as U.S. Attorney General. We also support the “Contempt Of Congress” vote in Congress against Holder.

Please know that we are carefully monitoring your actions on this important issue.

I’ll believe it when I see it. If Obama, Holder and Biden can openly and fervently threaten the SCOTUS, imagine what they do to their constituents.

The best thing that could come out of this would be for Holder to flip on Obama and decide not to take the fall.

As Instapundit just blogged, now we will be able to LEGITIMATELY claims that a bipartisan majority held Holder in contempt.

RATS are jumping the Pelosi ship and will vote for contempt
against Holder, in a last minute ditch to save their seats.

This vote will NOT BE PARTISAN!
It will be BI-PARTISAN, even worse for Holder.

My advice to the GOP House...
Push that vote button till your thumb hurts!

Many Democrats that vote to protect Holder and Obama will lose their seats protecting these two murderers of American law enforcers and Mexican citizens. IMHO, Both Obama and Holder are traitors and criminals to boot!!! Both men should be thrown out of office and jailed!!!

The one thing that seems to be conveniently overlooked in all of this Holderuption ('Holder' + 'Corruption') is that the lying sonuvabitch was JANET RENO's Deputy Attorney General (replaced Jamie Gorelick in fact) during Emperor Billigula's years defiling the Oval Office.

Janet Reno = foul, murdering c**t.

Eric Holder = protege of the above FMC.

Not something an honorable man would do.

But then....

If the press would pick this issue up and run with it, more would vote for contempt.

Holder will not roll over on his excellency though because they are both joined at the hip in their detest for the second amendment.

If 20 Dems vote with Republicans, then that is saying this is as big as Watergate.

Personally, I think it’s bigger.

Richard Nixon did not knowingly arm enemies of a neighboring state, Mexico, who murdered 200+ Mexican citizens and attacked the Mexican government....all WITHOUT the knowledge of the Mexican government.

Anyone associated with this are accomplices to murder. Period.

20 Dems vote with Republicans,

I saw that prediction, and if it comes true, it tells you all the polls about how well Obama is doing are pure bullsh!t.
