Further and deeper cover-ups by the Obama Administration - making Nixon look open and forthcoming.
Jail time for Holder, only, he'll take the rap for his "boy."
Nothing. Nothing at all.

In a pretty much party line vote (17 or so democrats voted "yea," 1 RINO voted "nay") the US House voted to hold Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for failure to produce asked-for documents. Where do you think this will lead?

    If Holder and Obama have nothing to hide as they keep saying, then it should not be a big deal to give up the documents that have been legally subpoenaed and prove it...seems pretty simple to me.

    It will lead no where, no where at all. Bohener has said there will be no further action taken against Holder. We need to dig Richard Nixon up and apologize to him. This administration makes his look like a Sunday School picnic. Nixon ultimately did the honorable thing, he resigned for the good of the Country, but Holder does not care about the Country, any more than his boss does. (BHO.)

    This incredible criminal (Holder) is the highest justice official in the country who has lied under oath many times and been in contempt of congress for stonewalling and refusing to cooperate with the senate committee- Stimulus money was used to give guns to the Zeta Mexican Drug cartel- Thousands have died (not hundres) and many more will die-and YET NO ONE will go to jail for these crimes because the news-media refuse to report anything meaningful about Obama’s entire past criminal history and is complicit in covering up his crimes- such as his FORGED birth certificate & multiple SSN’s used in real estate scams- (& FORGED selective service card) The American NEWS-MEDIA BLACKOUT on Obama’s past criminal history is INEXCUSABLE-an unprecedented era in CORRUPTNESS-

    Just so we understand ,there is a difference between what SHOULD happen and what WILL happen. Holding someone in contempt of Congress is more of a symbolic thing, which carries no real penalty. When we, as citizens are found in contempt of court, they toss us in a cell until we comply. Holder has refused to comply with Congress and this contempt thing is nothing more than trying to shame him into complying, he won't be sitting in a jail cell until he complies. He has a lot bigger things to be ashamed of than not producing the specific documents anyway.
    What should happen is that he does sit in a cell until he gives them what they want, and no special treatment, no champagne served on his terrace at the Federal prison for special cases. In any case he should, as any inside government or out, be charged with obstruction of a Federal investigation. Obama should be investigated too in order to discover his part in all this. He has been at the root of all the insanity coming from Washington since he took office, no reason to believe he is not up to his neck in this too.

    What will happen is that Holder will still refuse to give Congress the documents, Obama's Executive Privilege will take years to get through the Supreme Court, stall tactics. They don't want the truth to come out ...

They don't want the truth to come out until after the elections. Not that I think it is going to matter since everything else he has done makes him the last person I will give another 4 years to. No, he is going to have to keep pandering for votes from the Entitlement Culture and the illegal population and Holder will have to fight to give the illegals the chance, not the legal chance, but the chance to cast their votes. After all, he has to someone some good, otherwise he would be a complete waste human existence. By the way, where is Holder's chin? He doesn't have one. Maybe he never did. I know he doesn't have a backbone.

    After spending yesterday at the Supreme Court surrounded by Obamites I realize just how important it is to stop these people. They are NOT Americans. They are by all definition Communists. Holder is a hero to them. Obama is a God. Don't be surprised if Obama gets in, that they prepare to run him for a THIRD term. This is SERIOUS. Buzzy

    This will come down to even more cover-ups... Remember this is what America has become..When you are really bad, you're really good,when you're really good you're really bad..and you have to be an illegal citizen to become legal citizen..and for you to get arrested, all you have to be is a clean cut..hard working..good natured..English speaking, home grown, legal American citizen.. and that will get you put in jail here in America.. Now that's how we do it here, in Obama's country..

    Congress nor the NRA are looking out for the people ... only looking out for their own interest .. which would be money ... No one had more to do with those gun sales than the NRA themselves .. and they are whom the people should be placing in jail .. if anyone should go to jail ... But the NRA truly wants to know what Eric knows ... because their asses are on the line ... and our justice department should be allowed to complete their own investigation .. before .. giving up any information ... the justice department are the protectors of the people .. not the congress ...congress appears to be only protecting their own asses .. right now ...and politics should not be apart of this .... this effects people's lives ... back down JOHN B .. and ISSA

    The justice dept are the protectors of the people??? You are kidding, aren't you? This may have been true at one time, but certainly isn't now. Having the justice dept investigate itself is like having the fox guard the hen house - ain't gonna happen.

    If there was nothing going on, nothing that is being hidden and the NRA was behind this as you say, tell me why Holder's fellow democrats did not stay for the vote to fight for him? They hate the NRA, and would do anything to bring that organization down, but instead, they choose to walk out BEFORE the vote - that's just real strange thing to do to one of your own.

    OK, if those lies that Holder told weren't a signal that something was being covered up, why would they bother to go to EP? Was this supposed to be just another distraction from reality like the old birth certificate ruse?

    The man lied 3 times, so what's the deal? As far as Democrats voting in the mix, 17 and 21 aren't bad numbers for the liberals. They have a tendency to still together like super glue unless there is an ulterior motive. The ones who caved in first and announced they were going to vote with the Republicans are all in tight races in a mostly Republican area. They were trying to move to the right to gain gravitas with their constituents.

    I already had contempt for Holder when he allowed Black Panthers to intimidate voters by standing outside the polling place hitting their hands with bats. One can only think that was all about color. If they were white panthers standing outside a nursery school, Holder probably would have put them in an old folks home. (If I need to explain that to you, you are way too young.)

    The sad thing is that it probably won't go any further, or at least until after the election. If Obama does turn out to be involved, then Obama can be the first black president to be impeached. After all Holder is the only black AG, well, the only AG ...

After all Holder is the only black AG, well, the only AG ever to be held in contempt. The fact that Nancy Pigleosi and the CBC is saying this is racial makes me want to puke all over the caucus. Don't these folks know anything but racism? Well, I suppose since people like Maxine Waters was stupid enough to say that Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac weren't broke, so they didn't need fixin' ... they might have an average IQ of 10. That's the same person under investigation now for steering millions of TARP funds to her hubby's business.

    If Holder had any class he'd resign, but his bff is going overboard to save his friend. Hmmm, I wonder just how far Obama will go to protect his very good ... friend.
