Exclusive – Rep. Pete Olson: Impeach Eric Holder

Breitbart ^ | July 3, 2014 | Rep. Pete Olson (R-TX)

A glance at current headlines reveals that Central American children are flooding across our porous Southern border at an alarming rate, thanks to the Obama White House refusing to enforce existing immigration laws. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the federal agency in charge of collecting taxes from hard working Americans, is still under investigation (and refusing to cooperate) for targeting and harassing citizens based on their political beliefs.

All of this happens while US Attorney General Eric Holder, the chief law enforcement officer in the United States, only enforces the laws that fit Obama's agenda.

Thanks in large part to Obama's Executive Orders that disregard current immigration laws, we have a cataclysmic crisis escalating along the Texas border that was created by this White House. Both the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and "Catch and Release" policies have encouraged a flood of undocumented immigrants.

Since Eric Holder won't investigate a rogue IRS, House Republicans continue to demand answers on these scandals. None of the information we have uncovered is good, and, unfortunately, our questions remain unanswered. Last week we also discovered that U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) was a target of the IRS, yet Holder still refuses to investigate.

It’s still hard to believe they got away with firing Walpin, that should have been the handwriting on the wall for Holder and 0bama.

The illegal acts just continued to grow subsequent to that and letting the New Black Panthers off the hook.

[353FMG]

Isn’t that racist?

[jch10]

Mr. Olsen is part of the problem. He, and the rest of Congress, have sat on their hands while Holder has ignored our Constitution, chosen the laws he wants to obey, and thumbed his nose at their subpeonas for six years!

Now, we are being invaded by children and gang members and DHS and DOJ are welcoming this disaster. Where is Holder? He is absent. He is the worst AG since WW11.

[drypowder]

DC will never fix itself, thus our founder’s reason for the 2nd. Then there is the “Use it or lose it”.

[Grams A]

Wondering where Pete has been. You can always tell when it’s getting close to election time because up he pops. Last presser we received from him was about his enjoying a BBQ lunch with the elder President Bush.

Would be great to see him actually get involved in issues involving the flood of illegals coming into Texas, lack of treatment available to Veterans in his District, reigning in government spending, getting rid of Boner, keeping the EPA out of Texas, etc. Holder is not going to be impeached as long as Obama is around. We have a lot more pressing issues that our Texas Congressmen need to and should be addressing as a group where their impact could be felt.

Our family gave up on Pete several elections ago. Such a buffoon. Too bad we can’t find someone like Louie Gohmert in our District to run against him.

I think most criminals figure if they can get away with one why not do more.

[GOPJ]

If Attorney General Eric Holder had an ounce of decency in him he would resign.

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

morphing libertarian:" Holder will resign to spend more time with his family.
Then a year later some dem corporation will hire him and his new law firm to slough him a salary."

As stated in post #9 :
alloysteel:" Impeaching Eric Holder is a good first step.
But first, get him disbarred, which does NOT require Congressional action."(emphasis mine)
Now that will get his attention !

[morphing libertarian]

let’s take whatever actions we can

[Carry_Okie]

U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) was a target of the IRS, yet Holder still refuses to investigate.

If they did "investigate" would any rational person believe that it had been done credibly?

[Lucky9teen]

I wonder if there's any truth to this story Eric Holder Resigns

[Count of Monte Fisto]

Holder has already been found in Contempt of Congress. The House Republicans could have the House Sergeant at Arms arrest Holder and imprison him in the Capitol Hill Police jail. They won't do it because they are Obama's partners in crime.

House could arrest Holder with inherent contempt power

[so_real]

it's a shame there are not the votes in the Rat Senate to convict

Regardless. Impeach him. It's the right thing to do. Force the Senate to make a choice between doing what is easy and doing what is right. Let them be held accountable. Allowing them to dodge the issue is a mistake.

[jazusamo]

A valid point, NO rational person would believe it credible.

[jazusamo]

I remember when those articles came out and Holder saying he’d stay well into 2014. I personally don’t believe he’ll resign.

[GeronL]

There is one thing he is not correct on.

It is not Eric Holder who needs to be impeached, but his boss!!

[jazusamo]

Agreed, his boss is more deserving of it but if I had my way I’d go for both.

[wita]

and that’s only possible if enough democrat voters are ILLEGALLY imported from abroad!

...and that would be a charge of TREASON, a little different from what it takes for impeachment.
