House Republicans, in a lengthy report on the Justice Department's leak investigations, formally accused Attorney General Eric Holder of misleading Congress with "deceptive" testimony that he knew nothing of the "potential prosecution" of the press.
The 70-page report was released late Wednesday by Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee. To coincide with the release, lawmakers also wrote a letter to President Obama calling for a "change in leadership" at the Justice Department.
"The deceptive and misleading testimony of Attorney General Holder is unfortunately just the most recent example in a long list of scandals that have plagued the Department," House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., said in a statement.
The report delved into the department's aggressive investigations over various security leaks, but focused in large part on the FBI affidavit seeking a search warrant for Fox News correspondent James Rosen's emails in connection with one such probe. The DOJ sought access to the documents by arguing Rosen was a likely criminal "co-conspirator" in a leak case.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Does it, by chance, come with any meaningful penalties, like being perp-walked out of his office by Marshals?
No?
Meaningless, then.
So what will the RINO’s do about it?
The beltway GOP are dumping all this stuff before they go on vacation because they won’t actually do anything about it. This will be old news in September and everything will be focused on the debt ceiling “crisis”.
Fast and Furious (Federal Firearms law violation).
Targeting Reporters (First Amendment violation).
Black Panthers non-prosecution (Failure to uphold the law as a sworn duty.)
What won’t the DOBJ do?
Aaaaand...?
Arrest Holder, take him to trial and send his worthless ass to prison.
Lots of yelling, little response. Typical.
To echo others...
So what the HELL are you going to do about it?
Big effing deal!!!
These people have NO shame and could care less.....
So what? Nothing seems to come from these *reports* except the fact that a report came out. Get some teeth, Goodlatte/Congress!
Will the New York Times cover this?

I don’t understand why Republicans in Congress don’t use it..
not just against AG Holder, but against all the crooks in the administration that have done illegal activities in the IRS and at State over Benghazi..

There’s your teeth if Goodlatte and Boehner had the b*lls to use it!
Holder lied......why can't they tell it like it is.
They called for a change in leadership at Justice. This is the most aggressive thing I’ve heard from them for a long time.
Why not write send them a supportive email instead of shooting them down when they are actually showing signs of life?
No controlling legal authority.
Pretend they are doing something until it just goes away. As usual.
