really sad Jilly, you supposedly being a lawyerI'm shocked, I tell you. Absolutely SHOCKED.
How long will the rw's/R be able to suck on this one?
How long will the pubs be able to use it as an excuse for not passing jobs legislation?
Oh well, look at it this way - they finally found something they didn't want to filibuster.
poor issa... who'd have thought he'd make himself look this pathetic?
oh wait... i did.
I know, like TM saying that the recall FAIL was a GOOD thing for them, lolol...
For liberals it's always.......

Hey dumb ass, you jumped the gun, as usual.
Voting on strictly partisan lines, a House committee recommended 23-17 Wednesday that Attorney General Eric Holder be cited for contempt of Congress for failing to turn over documents relating to the botched Fast and Furious weapons sting operation.
Are you really that stupid that you don't know the difference between a committee recommending someone be cited for contempt, and the actual House vote required to cite someone for contempt?

Wow. Look at all the liberal deflections!
So now it's Issa who looks pathetic?
If the thought process wasn't so outrageous it would be funny. By the time the likes of Behar, Garafolo and Matthews have spun this story, they'll have Issa pulling the trigger that killed that poor Border Guard and Holder having had nothing to do with Fast and Furious.
Unreal. Cue twilight zone music.

Should the House hold him in contempt, Mr. Holder would be left with three choices: standing by as a U.S. attorney begins prosecuting him; directing the U.S. attorney not to prosecute him; or invoking executive privilege to justify not releasing the documents Congress seeks.
There are huge downsides to all three. Let's take them one by one.
Attorney General Eric Holder before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington on Tuesday.
A sitting attorney general under federal prosecution would be fatally weakened, with his continuing presence in the job a fat target for the president's political opponents. On the other hand, ordering a U.S. attorney not to prosecute him suggests a massive conflict-of-interest, not to mention conveying that he has something to hide. Ditto for "executive privilege." Not only does executive privilege have a tainted history, it couldn't be invoked without admitting that the White House is also implicated in Fast and Furious.
Jillian is not lawyer. That much is clear. I don't think you can get a law degree from J.C. Penny's.
As for Holder, being held in contempt is a real problem if you are the top law enforcement agent in the country.
Here's Wm McGurn discussing this case. Note this was about a week ago.

this is going to be a very bad play for the right.
