holder in contempt
 
congress has voted. sounds like business as usual up there.

congress should vote themselves in contempt, as well as the executive, and the judicial. that would put them where so many of their citizens hold them right now.

found this, on fast and furious:



Obama says he didn’t know anything about it, but is now asserting executive privilege to protect conversations about it.




Grassley comment:

“The assertion of executive privilege raises monumental questions. How can the President assert executive privilege if there was no White House involvement? How can the President exert executive privilege over documents he's supposedly never seen? Is something very big being hidden to go to this extreme? The contempt citation is an important procedural mechanism in our system of checks and balances. The questions from Congress go to determining what happened in a disastrous government program for accountability and so that it's never repeated again.”

The Truth about Fast and Furious
By Katherine Eban

A Fortune investigation reveals that the ATF never intentionally allowed guns to fall into the hands of Mexican drug cartels. How the world came to believe just the opposite is a tale of rivalry, murder, and political bloodlust.

holder in contempt
 
Last I checked, congressional approval figures were in the high single digits, so more than 90% of the American people hold congress in contempt.

Anyway, Holder will be irrelevant one way or another by this time next year. Maybe Roberts will resign from the SCOTUS, and BO will make him AG.
