Which is why unless he produces the documents before 10 a.m. this morning Holder is looking at a House committee vote on contempt of Congress charges; once the full House goes along, hell be only the 11th official to be so cited since 1975.
Then what? Technically, the citation goes to the US attorney for DC to present to a grand jury. Usually, lawyers for the White House and Congress huddle and work out some accommodation but relations may be too poisonous for that now.
Holder also has the option to simply not prosecute himself which would surely set off a firestorm, as would any attempt by him or the president to assert executive privilege at this late date.
The last thing President Obama needs heading into the election is even more controversy over his hyper-politicized chief law-enforcement officer especially with some in Congress already calling for a special prosecutor to investigate intelligence leaks emanating from the administration.

I was wondering what happens after the 'contempt' charge on AG.
But according to Allahpundit on HotAir, Boehner wishes to just bury the whole thing before it comes to a full House vote.
We will see. No guts, no glory.
Ping.
I will easily bet that Holder DOES NOT prosecute himself, and more-so outside of Republican circles few will care.
Repeating from another thread:
The Dem talking points have gone out and are being repeated over and over, I heard them on MSNBC and then Dems flooded all the CSPAN lines this morning including the Republican ones, the points go : ;Bush started that program (F+F) and Holder stopped it as soon as he learned about it. Issa promised from day 1 to bring the Obama administration down and this is nothing more than a witch hunt. .
It may be a lie but Republicans appear not to be organized like Dems are to counter it.
“But according to Allahpundit on HotAir, Boehner wishes to just bury the whole thing before it comes to a full House vote.”
If that is correct then Boehner is also burying the election of REPUBs. Congress makes the laws and they may not care if they are enforced (equally and fairly), but we do. If Congress doesn’t pursue Holder they may as well never ask an admin for any information.
If Boehner decides, “to just bury the whole thing before it comes to a full House vote” he will also bury his position as leader.
I will notify my Representative and inform him a vote for Bonehead in the next Congress is a vote to come home. I can’t imagine I would be alone doing this either.
This is NOT “Holder’s game”.
This is the Barry O’s Regime’s attack on the 2nd ammendment and nothing less.
AND a huge unwarrented assault on innocent Mexican citizens.
AND the RINOs in congress are a lousey bunch of GUTLESS COWARDS-—IMHO.
Nothing will happen afterward, Holder is judgement-proof because Obama will pardon him for anything that he may be charged with.
I’m Still Screwing Around (ISSA) and Boner are idiots, not even useful ones. Eunuchs.
Those may be the democrat talking points distributed by their propaganda organs in the media, but the Republicans have aimple effective counter they need to beat like a drum:
“If this was started by Bush, and ended by you, then you have nothing to hide. Turn over the documents.”
Nothing stops these people other than actually stopping them.
No appeal to law, morality, or common decency deters them from their agenda.
Only physically stopping them and restraining them works.
Shoulda said “GUTLESS, FECKLESS, BALL-LESS, IRRESPONSIBLE, LYING, PREVARICATING, TRATOROUS,......................”
Is this the end of Eric Holder’s games?
Not a chance.
The zebra never doffs his stripes.
zebra? ...
Holder will continue to refuse to cooperate, and the Republicans will do absolutely nothing about it. End of story.
Bipartisan = synonym for date rape.
Bingo

I find it a complete affront to the Founders and the citizens of this country when an UN-ELECTED department head can refuse a request from an ELECTED Congress for documents WHICH ARE THE PROPERTY OF THE CITIZENS OF THE USA.
Why should this even be a discussion? Those are NOT affirmative action failure Holder’s documents, they are OURS. He was on our dime when they were created so ownership is NOT a question.
Forget contempt of congress, he should be fired on the spot and charged with theft of OUR property.
All these filthy enemy within lawyers sitting on these committees cannot seem to fathom Holder has no right to withhold OUR property?
If we do not immediately start to whittle down these pompous ruling elite to the public SERVANTS which they are, they will shortly be in complete control of every aspect of our lives and the ballot box will simply become Kubuki Theater if it has not already.
More “analogous to” than a “synonym for”
