Attorney General Eric Holder should be held in contempt of court for refusing to release “Fast and Furious” documents in line with a judge’s order — and even given jail time if necessary, lawmakers said.
Members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee requested U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson to fine Mr. Holder if he doesn’t comply with her own order issued back in August — the one where she said he couldn’t claim executive privilege to keep private certain documents related to the federal gun-running program, “Operation Fast and Furious,” Politico reported.
Mr. Holder was supposed to turn over the documents by Oct. 1. The attorney general has not — but instead, announced his resignation from office.
Lawyers for the lawmakers say the time has come when the judge should consider imposing fines on Mr. Holder, or even throwing him in jail.

That’s what I’m talking about!!!
Mr. Holder was supposed to turn over the documents by Oct. 1.
Why isn’t he in jail now?.
Anyone else would be.
LOL, in America, a Rule of Mob nation?
Holder doesn’t have to turn the documents over if he is no longer in his job. Wow, hey look he suddenly resigned!! WHAT A COINCIDENCE!!! Did the judge’s order say Eric Holder has to turn over the documents or the DOJ has to turn over the documents? It’s WORD PLAY TIME...
There’s little doubt you’re right and after Fast and Furious probably long ago.
He is still on the job
YES!!! Black will be the new orange! Eric will wear it well.
WORD PLAY indeed but he still broke the law when he was in office he must pay for it asap.
Jail? Heck give to Sheriff Joe for a couple of weeks.
Agree more of that Obama transparency going on.
If only..............................
He's still in the job, and is staying there until his replacement is confirmed by the Senate.
I’d wager Sheriff Joe would love to have Eric the Red in his jail after the treatment he’s gotten from Holder’s Injustice Dept. lol
Sheriff Joe might have Eric the Red in a pink jumpsuit picking up trash near the border in the HOT Arizona sun.
if it was necessary to lock up Al Capone, well then............. December 2016: Whether indicted or not, BH Obola will sign pardons for his entire regime so none of these congressional hearings mean squat
Time for someone to ask Hillary what she would do since she will be the next pResident (if she decides to run) before they convict Holder of anything.
By that time, he might even be her running partner.
Can’t happen? That’s what they said about Obama...
