...so now what?

Impeach him, and then dump an impeached Holder et al. on the Senate prior to the August recess. They're defending at least 23 seats this November. Let them deal with the consequences of removing them or not on Election Day! They ran and won with a bunch of moderates and centrists to win the Senate in 2006.

What’s next for Attorney General Eric Holder?

Congress held Attorney General Eric Holder in both civil and criminal contempt yesterday, in historic bipartisan votes, for his refusal to provide subpoenaed documents in the Fast and Furious investigation. This has never happened before. So what happens next?

The first consequence will be that the last media outlets trying to protect the Obama Administration by refusing to report on the worst scandal in Justice Department history will be obliged to mention it, in considerably more detail than they would like. - They'll try to bury the details as much as possible, and they will still absurdly describe Fast and Furious as a "botched sting operation," but they'll have to explain why Congress wants those documents, and how long they've been waiting.

So what now? Issa does a steady drip-drip with leaks of damning information from his moles, and hopes it gets some traction.
