The House Judiciary Committee is investigating whether Attorney General Eric Holder lied under oath during his May 15 testimony on the Justice Department’s (DOJ) surveillance of reporters, an aide close to the matter told The Hill.
The panel is looking at a statement Holder made during a back and forth with Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) about whether the DOJ could prosecute reporters under the Espionage Act of 1917.
“In regard to potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material -- this is not something I’ve ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be wise policy,” Holder said during the hearing. However, NBC News reported last week that Holder personally approved a search warrant that labeled Fox News chief Washington correspondent James Rosen a co-conspirator in a national security leaks case.

They're worrying about this lie, when the Fast and Furious lies haven't yet been resolved?
Excuse me if I have NO faith in our Congress doing anything about any of this corruption.

This will go exactly nowhere with the gutless Republicans handling things.

How long will this “investigation” take?
A normal person could “investigate” this in about 10 minutes and have enough time left over to eat a dozen Dunkin Donuts.
