Not so!

The Speaker of the HOUSE can appoint a HOUSE Special Prosecutor with subpoena powers.

It is part of the Constitutional Checks and Balances.

The House Sergeant of Arms also has the power to arrest.

Where is that in the Constitution? It's not. The only prosecutor he can appoint is in an impeachment trial.

Of course they can issue subpoenas. In fact they have, and Holder stonewalled. That leaves impeachment as the legal remedy. The Pubs could impeach the Obama and/or Holder. Politically it would be a disaster and it would get nowhere with Harry Reid as the judge, and the Democrat Senate as the jury.

I'm no fan of Boehner but that's the reality.
