Biggirl ~:” Two Republican lawmakers asked U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder on Wednesday to clarify testimony he gave Congress this month about his role in the targeting of journalists in a leak probe.”

There is a legal difference between :
a)testimony
b) sworn testimony

Only the sworn testimony difference can be considered is perjury
Unsworn testimony is can be deceptive and unreliable and dishonest

Then it is up to the committee whether or not they choose to proceed with perjury charges.
It is the comittee , and NOT Boehner !!

How bad is this,.. that the highest law officer of the nation ..
is caught offering perjured (knowingly giving sworn false statements ) testimony to Congress ?

If there is no consequence by the decision of the committee, it weakens the “Law of the Land” , as well as the Office of U.S. Attny. General,
if they proceed , they will be called “ RACIST” .
But , as they say in Church song : “ Choose the Right .. there is a right to every question .. “ !!

Oh, I’ll bet Holder is quaking in his boots. He must have utter contempt for these Republicans.

Not to mention Holder's part in Ruby Ridge, Elian Gonzales, and Waco. The man has more blood on his hands than just federal agents and Mexicans.

Was Lindsey Graham available for comment?

Senate Panel Backs Holder For Attorney General
January 28, 2009

EXCERPT

Several senators praised Holder for admitting he had made a mistake by telling the Clinton White House he was leaning in favor of a presidential pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich — whose wife was a major Democratic contributor.

“I am confident this new attorney general will have a balanced approach, and I look forward to working with him. I know he’s made mistakes and so have I,” said Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
