Breaking: Formal Impeachment Charges To Be Introduced Tommorow Against Eric Holder

[Sarah G]

We all know that the voters want the House to be working on stuff like this instead of the budget. Let's go. Hurry up.

The House can work on both at the same time.

They haven't worked on anything at all this entire year except attempt after attempt to repeal Obamacare. What makes you think they can work on two things at once suddenly?

 

[Mad_Cabbie]

Proceedings continue.

Good lord! Get going already....

Started with a prayer? OK.

Now yammering on about nothing.

The House just said they didn't have "time" to vote on the Immigration Reform Bill

But they always make time for this nonsense

[Moonglow]

I already indicated that there would be no vote.

I'm just going by your comment that ^^^^ impeachment was to begin at noon.


Words matter. Introducing a resolution to the House does not = impeachment proceedings.

I was being facetious .

Oh No! Say it ain't so!

amazing how when you don't do your job you get fired or not paid.

 

[Moonglow]

Congress should be paid piecemeal for the work they do, like a sub contractor, if the people don't like it no pay till it's done to our satisfaction.

 

[Mad_Cabbie]

So what's the word??? Anything????

 

[Sarah G]

I dunno. The opening poster is too cowardly to come back and own up to this lie.

 

[Moonglow]

It sounded good yesterday.

 

[Mad_Cabbie]

I dunno. The opening poster is too cowardly to come back and own up to this lie.

I would not make that assumption about someone. Could be at work for all we know.

I never thought it would happen but it is. He will be the first Attorney General in the history of the U.S. to have Impeachment charges formally brought against him. Holder has been a firewall so to speak protecting Obama and his unconstitutional acts since he became president. Of course Holder has been aided by the liberal media but once Holder is out of there, Obama will be extremely vunerable.



GOP Lawmakers Release Holder Articles of Impeachment | 218

House Republicans are tired of waiting for answers from Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. — they want him impeached and will formally introduce their charges Thursday.


Texas Republican Pete Olson, who is leading the charge behind the Holder articles of impeachment, said this wasn’t a decision he took lightly.

“Since the House voted in 2012 to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt, the pattern of disregard for the rule of law and refusal to be forthright has continued,” Olson said in a statement to CQ Roll Call. “The American people deserve answers and accountability. If the Attorney General refuses to provide answers, then Congress must take action.”

Olson told CQ Roll Call that he would be dropping the articles of impeachment Thursday. On Wednesday, he released a five-page white paper explaining the four articles of impeachment against Holder.

Article I of the impeachment proceedings claims that Holder “engaged in a pattern of conduct incompatible with the trust and confidence placed in him” by refusing to comply with a subpoena issued by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee for documents related to “a legitimate congressional investigation into Operation Fast and Furious by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms that put thousands of illegally-purchased weapons into the hands of cartel leaders, ultimately resulting in the death of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry on December 14, 2010.”

“The Justice Department deliberately withheld documents, preventing the Committee from performing its constitutional duty to conduct oversight of the Executive Branch,” the white paper said, noting that any person who “willfully makes default” of a congressional subpoena is in violation of federal law.
President Barack Obama exercised executive privilege over those documents, but that does not satisfy the group.

“Despite the President’s dubious claim of executive privilege, Attorney General Holder violated federal law by failing to turn over lawfully subpoenaed documents requested by Congress,” the section-by-section analysis of the impeachment proceedings claims.

Article II of the proceedings charges that Holder violated his oath of office by refusing to enforce certain laws that the Obama administration, for various reasons, decided not to enforce, including the Defense of Marriage Act, which the administration deemed unconstitutional.

“If the Administration wants to change the law, it should ask Congress to amend it. Only the Supreme Court can deem laws unconstitutional,” the white paper said. [...] Continued at link above

Cool!!! Knowing that the impeachment of Holder will never be passed in the Senate, the House wants to throw away more tax payer money while avoiding working on the serious problems of this nation.
I am beginning to believe that God has chosen to curse America by giving us a plague of republicans. During the time Obama has been in office I cannot think of one action or bill that the House took that benefited this country.

Olson is joined by 10 other Republicans — five of whom are also from Texas — in co-sponsoring the articles of impeachment:

Rep. Phil Roe of Tennessee

Rep. Ted Yoho of Florida

Rep. Lynn Westmoreland of Georgia

Rep. Larry Bucshon of Indiana

Rep. Blake Farenthold of Texas

Rep. Randy Weber of Texas

Rep. Roger Williams of Texas

Rep. Bill Flores of Texas

Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas

Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota

In other words, the Usual Suspects. These assholes won't create policy, work towards a jobs bill, a farm bill, or even an immigration bill. They are the obstructionists, the objectionists, the rejectionists. They are not nation builders, they are nation destroyers.

 

[Mad_Cabbie]

Holy Christ - It's like the house has been getting Its info from USMB!!!!!

Listen to them ... I'm surprised that none of them has brought up Michelle Obama's butt!!!!
