Washington – The House has approved a precedent-setting resolution to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in criminal contempt of Congress. It was the first time a sitting Cabinet member has been held in contempt.

A number of Democrats boycotted Thursday’s vote.
Republicans pushed through the resolution because Holder did not turn over documents related to a botched gun-tracking operation known as Fast and Furious.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee wants Justice Department records from a 10-month period after February 2011. That month, the department initially denied guns were allowed to be purchased in Arizona and be taken to Mexico. In early December that year, the department acknowledged the assertion was wrong.
A separate vote will be held to hold the attorney general in civil contempt.
The same ErIC Holder who refuses to read or acknowledge the tens of thousands of petitions for sholom rubashkon and the 100 plus senators and congressman who have told him there has been a miscarriage of justice and must be reviewed. Arrogant sod. Justice has caught up wuth him, you drowned others so you were drowned.
Reply to #1 The reason Holder does not read the petitions for Sholom Rubashkin is because he does not really consider himself an independent buruea chief – just a puppet of Obama. I would like to see that puppet in a “holding” cell where he belongs and where law enforcement officials will be come the string masters.
