The Washington Times reported yesterday that government lawyers asked U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson to apply judicial remedies to Attorney General Eric Holder. He has stonewalled for years on turning over documents from the Fast and Furious case. From washingtontimes.com:
Mr. Holder was supposed to turn over the documents by Oct. 1. The attorney general has not — but instead, announced his resignation from office.Many are speculating that now that Mr. Holder has done the job of covering for the Obama administration, he will receive a pardon if any penalties are imposed.
Lawyers for the lawmakers say the time has come when the judge should consider imposing fines on Mr. Holder, or even throwing him in jail.
It would be nice to see someone in this administration be held to account at some point. Scooter Libby was hounded into a guilty plea for merely forgetting a date, when it had nothing to do with the witch hunt that was organized for the Bush administration by the old media.
I am sure that his non-crime will be compared to Holder and this administration's flouting of due process. Remember that President Bush ordered his administration to assist in the investigation. This administration has done everything in its power to obstruct the Fast and Furious investigation.
If this administration were Republican, the old media would have hounded them out of office long ago.
