CPL Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 GOP Rep. Confirms Articles of Impeachment Will Be Filed Against Eric Holder – Here Are the Lawmakers Who Are Supporting the Effort Nov. 13, 2013 7:17pm A group of fed-up House Republicans, who say they are tired of being stonewalled by Attorney General Eric Holder, plan to formally introduce articles of impeachment on Thursday in a bid to remove the nation’s top law enforcement officer from office. Several GOP congressmen have been drafting articles of impeachment over a number of controversies relating to the U.S. Department of Justice. The lawmakers’ grievances include Holder’s refusal to turn over documents relating to Operation Fast and Furious, the DOJ’s habit of selectively enforcing federal laws, and the department’s refusal to prosecute IRS officials who allegedly accessed confidential taxpayer information, among other things. The articles of impeachment also accuse Holder of providing false testimony to Congress, which is a “clear violation” of the law. Attorney General Eric Holder speaks during the Annual International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference, Monday, Oct. 21, 2013, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia. AP Rep. Pete Olson (R-Texas) told CQ Roll Call that he plans to formally introduce the charges on Thursday. Further, Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) confirmed the impeachment effort to TheBlaze TV in an interview on “Wilkow!” Wednesday night. In a statement provided to CQ Roll Call, Olson said Holder has displayed a “pattern of disregard for the rule of law” even after Congress voted to hold him in contempt in 2012. The Florida Republican also released a five-page white paper outlining the four articles of impeachment that will be filed against Holder: Article I of the impeachment proceedings claims that Holder “engaged in a pattern of conduct incompatible with the trust and confidence placed in him” by refusing to comply with a subpoena issued by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee for documents related to “a legitimate congressional investigation into Operation Fast and Furious by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms that put thousands of illegally-purchased weapons into the hands of cartel leaders, ultimately resulting in the death of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry on December 14, 2010.” […] Article II of the proceedings charges that Holder violated his oath of office by refusing to enforce certain laws that the Obama administration, for various reasons, decided not to enforce, including the Defense of Marriage Act, which the administration deemed unconstitutional. […] Article III also charges that Holder violated his oath of office, this time by “refusing to prosecute individuals involved in the Internal Revenue Service scandal of unauthorized disclosure of tax records belonging to political donors.” […] Finally, Article IV claims Holder “provided false testimony to the House Judiciary Committee” regarding the potential prosecution of a member of the news media, Fox News correspondent James Rosen, using the Espionage Act. Olson has reportedly gained the support of at least 10 other Republicans in co-sponsoring the articles of impeachment. They include: Rep. Phil Roe (R-Tenn.); Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Tenn.); Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.); Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-Ind.); Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas); Rep. Randy Weber (R-Texas); Rep. Roger Williams (R-Texas); Rep. Bill Flores (R-Texas); Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess next they will be calling for the impeachment of the democratic party as a whole, There is no way to describe these fanatical nut case baggers, but to call them bat s--t crazy, and that falls somewhat short of the severity of their insanity..

Fascinating, Captain. People who take an obsession this far often get labeled as lunatic's, I think that is what these cons are shooting for. I myself have assured them many times that they were lunatic's, but they seem to want to hear it from as many as possible, and it be reaffirmed, before they actually seek help. Holder is a criminal. Plain and simple. But then again, so is nearly all of Congress. What happened, did you cons fall out of love with criminals after the Bush bunch left office. You are a bunch of fickle bastards aren't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dumb f--ks need to give up your stupid idea that you can impeach Obama cause he's black. Hey what's happening with your guy Lush, I listened to his moron a$$ a little the other day, and he sounded like there was a shortage of Oxy Contin, and he was about to have a coronary, and his cold heart was about to pop like a balloon. I kinda' pulled for him to pull through, being as we have thanksgiving and Christmas coming up and I really didn't want to have to deal with another f--king huge celebration.

bingster Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 He's such a POS. Watch the libs come out of the wood word to support this lame ass. Big mystery: I wonder why republicans would hate an attorney general? Hmmmm, I think most crooks hated Bobby Kennedy. Yea, you guys keep it up with your Jihad on Civil Rights throughout the south and Eric will get you all, eventually. this is like repealing Obamacare. It won't get passed the senate. When will Republicans ever get around to governing? Who the fuck cares about Eric Holder? We should be focusing on impeaching Obama, not the God damed Attorney General! Yea, why don't you guys focus on something really stupid, instead of the mostly stupid stuff you always focus on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
contrecoup Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 When will Republicans ever get around to governing? Put like that, let the goopers do something they're good at: wasting money and time. Goopers don't 'govern'. Keep them away from crafting actual legislation. cc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we Can Impeach Obummer. Worse case scenario, Obama serves out his final four years. Then we string that ugly nigger and his family up high in a tree so the whole world can see what happens to niggers in America that do not know their proper place.
