Time For Holder To Go

By Semperpapa

Actually, it has been time for a long time, at least since he allowed the case against the New Black Panthers to go away after the group intimidation of voters in Philadelphia in 2008.

But now it is not even a matter of philosophical and ideological differences with the US Attorney General, it is instead a matter of criminal behavior, pure and simple.
The latest is that Holder actually testified falsely about his knowledge of operation Fast and Furious, which allowed thousands of firearms to be channeled into Mexico from the United States and found their way into the hands of the drug cartels south of the border.
Holder testified in May 2011 to the Judiciary Committee that his knowledge of the operation dated back about three weeks, but now official memos prove that Holder was receiving consistent reports about the operation at least 10 months earlier.

So now it is a clear cut case of perjury, pure and simple. And the Attorney General should do the only honorable thing left at his disposal and just quit, saving the country the necessary inconvenience to impeach the bastard and fire his ass.

I am not holding my breath, though. In the first place, there is nothing honorable in the man. He is a stooge of the Obama regime, viscerally dedicated to the ideology and agenda of his boss, including the subversion of the U.S. Constitution if necessary to achieve the goal of his masters.
Secondly, Holder appears to place himself above the law and the rights of the American people, and he's doing so successfully, thanks to an administration that protects him and a media that is not interested, although this appears to be changing as the reports done by none other than CBS News have been not short than accusatory.

Imagine, just for fun, if the mess of Fast and Furious would have been happening under a Republican president, with a Republican AG. Does anybody doubt that there would be a frantic crescendo of demands for the heads of the AG and of the President?
I did not think so.

In any case, Holder says now that he did not really comprehend the question of the Judiciary Committee last May and that is why he gave the answer he did.
So just to make things clear, ignorance of the law is only a justified excuse for politicians and their appointees, only for the elite upper crust of our leadership class.
For the rest of us common slobs, we actually have to follow the rules and the law even if we do not know the law.
Unless of course you are an illegal alien, a Marxist, a radical Muslim or a black criminal. In any of those cases, Attorney General Eric Holder will make sure that your rights are more than safeguarded, even if it means to trample the rights of all other American citizens.

Just my thoughts!
