Holder's Holdout [Holder gave VERBAL recusal, and can't remember when he gave it]

The American Spectator ^ | 5.16.13 | Kaylin Bugos

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Holder admitted that there was no non-verbal record of the recusal...

Holder suggested that there is room for a better federal policy governing recusal, apparently unaware of what’s already on the books. 28 USC Chapter 40 states:

Before personally making any other determination under this chapter with respect to information received under this chapter, the Attorney General shall determine under paragraph (1)(B) whether recusal is necessary. The Attorney General shall set forth this determination in writing, identify the facts considered by the Attorney General, and set forth the reasons for the recusal.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

There is no such legal action as an unwritten recusal. Holder is legally liable for all DOJ actions, associated with the AG.

Somebody better press this point!

We have to pressure Boehner to appoint a special prosecutor.

Shielding yourself from answering questions is not what recusal is for. The Attorney General is some lawyer.

This is a dumb tactic, and makes Holder look like an idiot. There are a lot of people who are going to lose respect for him and his running of the Justice Department.

But if no one reports it, did it happen?
