Eric Holder Under Investigation By House Judiciary Committee For Lying Under Oath
With the euphoric market once again serving as a much needed distraction from far bigger geopolitical issues, many have forgotten the plethora of scandals the Obama administration has recently found itself engulfed in. This may change shortly, following news that the head of the US Department of Justice, Eric Holder himself, is now being investigated for lying under oath. Will he too receive an extended absence of leave (with pay) after pleading the fifth, or will the circle of lies slowly but surely start to unwind? Of course, in the New Normal it is probably not only expected, but given, that the chief legal enforcer is just a little more equal when it comes to the same justice he is tasked to enforce.
From The Hill:
The House Judiciary Committee is investigating whether Attorney General Eric Holder lied under oath during his May 15 testimony on the Justice Department’s (DOJ) surveillance of reporters, an aide close to the matter told The Hill.
The panel is looking at a statement Holder made during a back and forth with Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) about whether the DOJ could prosecute reporters under the Espionage Act of 1917.
“In regard to potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material - this is not something I’ve ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be wise policy,” Holder said during the hearing.
However, NBC News reported last week that Holder personally approved a search warrant that labeled Fox News chief Washington correspondent James Rosen a co-conspirator in a national security leaks case.
The panel is investigating whether NBC’s report contradicts Holder’s claim that he had not looked into or been involved with a possible prosecution of the press in a leaks case.

Lying bitch!
Goddamn!
I was sure the House was first gonna do something really important like look into Justin Beiber abandoning his monkey in Germany.
Shirking responsibility again.
PS... Looks like Little Eric is being led down the Rose Garden path as the fall guy for all this shit.
Hopefully. I'd like to see him burn. A lot more fall guys (or girls) will be needed for the last 3 1/2 years of this regime.
How do you keep a forest fire from burning down everything? You do controlled burns.
the only thing Eric is truly under is the radar

No honor among bankster muppets.
Which time?
I thought this dude was Oprah's long time bf - Steadman G?

Anyway, both are birds.

"The Washington Examiner reported on Monday that Mark Everson, Commissioner of Internal Revenue from 2003 to 2007, during the Bush administration, visited the White House exactly once while in office. Indeed he felt like he’d “moved to Siberia” so out of the ordinary political loop was he. But Douglas Shulman, Commissioner from 2008 to 2012, during the Obama administration, visited the White House 118 times just in 2010 and 2011. His successor, Steven Miller, also visited “numerous” times."

Hey!
Y'all jus tryin ta keep da black man down. It ain't gonna work, ah say.

Eric "Abscessed Scrotum" Holder will end up scooting away from this with less trouble than Irving Lewis Libby.
i am sure the maverick and true republican john fuckface mccain will put a stop to this..he will not allow his party to be abused like this...the question is what party? and it aint dem or repub...
I want to say one thing to the american people.
I want you to listen to me.
I'm gonna say this again.
I did not have armamentual relations with that country, el mexico.
I never told anybody to lie.
not a single time.
never.
these allegations are false, and I need to go back to work for the american people.
Give him a break. That's not even once a week and he swore under oath that at least one of those times was for an Easter Egg hunt.
more horse shit for the masses. all while my country slip slides away under the rule of thieves. the asses in the house will accomplish nothing but endless nonsense for the cameras. the new reality tv.
He is personally responsible for the MF Global mass theft and for protectinc Corzine. If he falls Corzine goes in JAIL... A lot of garbage could surface...
Not likely, sadly.
"We hang the petty thieves and promote the great ones to office."
Aesop
the statute of limitations will run it's course before corzine ever steps into the docket in a court of law. this is all theater and reality show antics. love your positive attitude tho.
During Timmays confirmation hearing, they asked him specifically if that was his goal, by cheating on taxes in 2002, hoping the statue would run out in time for his appointment.
I wonder how much money is spent housing people in IRS prisons? Could a smart person figure that out instead of all this .gov grabass?
the house majority from the stupid party are ill timed with all these investigations so early. the masses will grow tired of the sound bites by the end of this summer. should have waited and done much more investigating behind the scenes and brought this all forward early next year. you just can't account for stupid!
greyghost said: "more horse shit for the masses."
Yup. They will "grill" him, have some good photo ops and video clips, a couple of headlines, angry words with no actions.
Holder will say "I mispoke" or "I wasn't aware that was what you were asking me about specifically" and offer a mea-culpa.
An "I'm sorry", with CONgress slapping him on the wrist with a letter or proclamation.
Holder and Corzine to laugh about it all over a sumptious lunch paid for by the taxpayers of the nation.
Key figure for impeaching Eric Holder, and indeed for 'legal' restoration of America's Constitutional government, is John Conyers, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee - the main person to initiate impeachment of Presidents or Federal Judges too.
But Conyers has already been threatened with death, being murdered just like Judiciary Committee Congressman Sonny Bono was murdered, and Conyers had his own wife criminally charged and imprisoned, as a warning to him to back down.
Detroit's Congressman Conyers had been fooled by Obama. He has long had huge files on America's bribed federal judges, and was planning to act on those files as his fellow black Obama took office, to help some of the thousands of innocent black people inside the US prison gulag of 2.3 million prisoners.
But the US oligarch families moved first, they indicted Conyers' wife, jailed her, and threatened to kill Conyers himself, and Conyers agreed to shut up to save his own life, and leave his fellow black Americans to rot in prison even when innocent. Conyers can do nothing for them except die as a martyr, with the media telling lies about him after he is buried.
Most Americans seem not to know, but Congress really is 'supreme' in the US Constitution, above the Supreme Court. They have the power to remove Presidents for 'Misdemeanors' and remove Supreme Court and all Federal Judges merely for lack of 'good behaviour'. The pivotal person in the entire US Constitution, is really the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
But the US Congress is intimidated and under mass threat of death. Quite a number of Congressman have been killed, including on the Judiciary Committee itself ... which was very useful in threatening John Conyers.
---
Ten notable Congressmen and other US national political figures, all found murdered or suspiciously dead - Senators, Congressmen, Federal Judge, Governor, CIA Director - after questioning corruption or disturbing US oligarch leadership ... since the 1963 JFK assassination
(1-2)
Two Congressmen, Thomas Hale Boggs, Sr, House Majority Leader, along with Alaska Congressman Nick Begich, killed in the same plane crash, 16 October 1972; Boggs was involved in JFK assassination investigation
(3)
Congressman Larry McDonald of Georgia was killed on 1 September 1983, booked onto the Korean airliner that was shot down over the ocean; McDonald had filed bills asking the US Congress to investigate the globalist bodies, the Trilateral Commission and the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations)
(4)
Former US Senator from Texas John Tower, killed in plane crash 5 April 1991, after criticising Reagan-Bush scandals

(10)
US Federal Judge John Roll shot dead in Tucson, Arizona, 8 January 2011, shortly after ruling against Obama and the US gov't ... drugged up 'lone gunman' promptly supplied, 'confessing' and otherwise barely seen
Only problem with your theory is that the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee is actually Bob Goodlatte (R) from Virginia.
It was a great theory though ;-)
Paul Wellstone died because he had 2 underqualified pilots flying him around in a King Air in weather they couldnt handle. Pilot had overstated his qualifications, and had a second job, and was lacking sleep that day. Co pilot was pretty new to the job, and wasn't in a position to handle the plane in those conditions that day. I flew charter back then. New young pilots with low flying time, flying some pretty heavy equipment around in bad weather. No conspiracy there. Wellstone should have spent some money and flew with a better charter company.
Moral of this story: Stay away from airplane flight.
Moral of this story: don't be cheap-assed hiring rookie charter pilots with your own money. Treat the charter as though your Socialist practices in Congress also apply to your life.
- Ned
He was wrong about who was the current chairman, but he does have a point about the intimidation of congressmen, and suspcious deaths.
as in... It's NOT this... it's THAT?... [rolls eyes]
Conyers is not the Chairman...beginning in 2011, the Repubs tooks the chairs
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.)
EDIT: Sorry Buckaroo, didn't see your post
Cui bono? A knowledge of human nature and some familiarity with dynamics of power (Machievelli, et al) is all one needs to understand what's going on. Proper journalism just fills in the details and can be an important aid in connecting the dots. This is why real critical thinking is discouraged in school and our culture -- it threatens and exposes power centers.
Nice piece from James Corbett: http://www.corbettreport.com/
There should be a position at Goldman waiting for him either way.
"How do you keep a forest fire from burning down everything?"
You don't, if the administration is gasoline...
Here in CO, we're at the point where controlled burns aren't gonna help at all. Whole sections of Summit and Grand Counties are going up in smoke soon... and I mean miles and miles
PSS Betcha he can just claim "National Security" telling everybody to piss off.... Remember, that "out" was in a whole bunch of those acts passed in the last 10 or so years shredding the Constitution.
They usually claim "net sec" before they lie. This should be interesting.
Yes, National Security covers almost everything criminal doesn't it. Shhh, little boy, don't tell your parents, its our little secret. You can hide all kinds of shit behind "national security".
Who gets the redacting job anyway? Go long sharpies!!
"following news that the head of the US Department of Justice, Eric Holder himself, is now being investigated for lying under oath"
TRANSLATION: Holder investigates Holder for lying
And if he is held in contempt once again his underlings will be in charge of (not) prosecuting him. At least it would put a crimp in bipartisan cooperation in authorizing the next ramp up in the debt ceiling.
Even if this scumbag does take the "fall," he'll bounce into a better "paid" position at some connected firm.
Question is, will he be able to avoid the guillotine when it comes for retribution?
Holder has redefined the word "hack" and will be a historic embarrassment, but in fairness, he only said he would not prosecute a journalist under the espionage act. The Obama MO has been to screw leakers to the wall, but not actually prosecute journalists. The Fox reporter's email was raided in hopes of finding the government leaker.
How dare you criticize Eric Holder and Obama? You racist!
Gimme an effing break. All these assholes have each other's back and are made of Teflon.
A thousand pardons..., I used the Teflon remark before reading yours.
"Holder himself, is now being investigated for lying under oath"
Soooooooooooo lying is OK as long as it's not uner oath????????
It's called "beholding" actually. As in "I wasn't under oath so in fact what I was doing was conjuring up an amazing reality!" as in "they call me Eeic Beholder...now behold this one!"
If THEY can go after Martha Stewart, Barry Bonds and railroad Gov. Don Siegelman to jail, THEY damn well can do the same to Eric "just defending the corporate assassins" Holder:
LET THE GAMES BEGIN ! ! !
Did his lips move?
Not sure, but his cheeks (all four of them) certainly did.
Yes, his lips moved but his trim little mustache didn't budge. Comes from long practice not wanting to tickle his buddy Obama while blowing him.
that's a really perverse comment ...but i like it
Trim.
I see what you did there.
Chief Investigator the Honorable Jon Corzine
That guys persona has "punk" written all over it. Arrest him!
He is a lying sack of shit, but that is not news.
Racist!
No he isn't, he didn't call him a black sack of lying shit.
Oh!
It's not the color of the bag that matters, it's the shit in it.
You mean the shit oozing from it
In this case, the oozing shit's the same color as the bag!
African-American lying sack of shit is the politically correct term. No racism accusations using this.
Actually the correct term is Afro-American. It is extremely racist to use the term African-American - claiming an entire continent - since there are countries on the African continent whose indigenous people are not black.
And no one ever sports an "African" haircut ...
African-American, Afro-American...This shit's getting just too complicated. Can we just divide this country into Asshole-Americans and Not-Asshole-Americans?
The sack was probably made in China, the black feces is modern American.
.
That would be discriminatory against the Asshole race, the Politician race, and probably the Fuckhead race as well.
i second this motion
i second this motion
apparently i seconded twice....
When seconding, two much is better than naught enough.
So, the correct term is the Attorney General of Afro-America?
"Uncle Tom" also works well in this case.
but these people dont even have ''afro's'' anymore.........so that term does not make sense........my gram called them ''colored'' people...........is that wrong?
God I miss Archie Bunker
I don't see any "American" attributes, either, so what then?
that's only because he's light skinned
Using a pejorative term to describe an INDIVIDUAL is not racism.
The individual using the term may or may not have a similar derision for all persons of said race, but that is a different issue.
Of course he's lying. Without his lying skills, he would have never been appointed by the lying ass "administration".
True. But this is where all of Holder's early planning comes into play. During his first year in office he testified that he doesn't read what he signs. He trusts his people, they put a stack of letters in front of him, and he signs them. So we've now arrived at the payoff for this early planning. Old EH isn't responsible (directly) for anything. Of course he's broadly responsible (just like Obama) but not when it comes to any details. He's just as shocked as everyone else and he's going to look into it. Any day now I expect to see John Mitchell rise from the grave so he can bow to the master.
Officials in government lie? Say it ain't so.
What difference does it make? He will just investigate the suspect (himself) and declare that no crime had been commited (by himself).
If Obama or Holder are convicted of anything, a race war will ensure.
And Detroit is such a beautiful city...sure hope you are wrong.
Stop the gubmint checks and let's really see things roll...
Helter Skelter!
'Bout fuckin time
He will declare it was not about the press but about a co-conspirator.
Watch this fucker skate.
Crooks investigating crooks.
+1,000,000,000,000,000
This is all that needs to be said. You pretty much said it all.
Sadly, it is always this way, crooks investigating /and killing/ crooks. When they steal money from each other is when the proberbial SHTF... When they abuse the sheeple and us, nobody gives a damm and nothing has ever happened. History is a great guide on what is happening and what will come...
He'd better stay off airplanes, away from hot tubs, far from Hillary Clinton, apart from Forth Marcy Park.....
What happened to Ron Brown, Vince Foster, Mary Mahoney, Charles Ruff and others could happen to him.
Investigate or prosecute? Sure, we like to rattle some cages from time to time, but prosecute? Who needs to? We just scare the journalism out of 'em.
Sad, but true - I can see him making almost exactly that case. Is is.
He will run away to hide at Marc Rich's house in Zug, Switzerland and will be pardoned on the last day of the Hillary Clinton presidency in January 2025.
Not a chance. He'll run for mayor of NY. These despots know no shame.
Nothing but weiners run for mayor up there...its like wrath of God type stuff...lol.
mega oil marc rich?
Why can't he have Al Sharpton investigate him?
Or that paragon of virtue, Charlie Rangel?
Wow. Is there actually a Charlie Rangel fan in here?
lol...could be...more than likely my cowardly, silent troll who follows me around ;-)
Arrest him for the murder and cover up of the children at the day care center in Oklahoma City.
Arrest him for conspiracy to commit treason by preventing prosecution of the TBTF.
Down, take him down now.
And wasn't he Janet Reno's right-hand woman at the Waco massacre?
It is cool when Washington eats its own. Bon appetit!
I'll remind you that there's an infinite supply of "Al Qaeda Number Twos."
Of course he lied! But of course this too shall pass.....he's either a) be forced to resign (and then take a law job for the private sector for $4m/yr) or b) keep his job and beat the rap.
Remember, this guy is in the corner of TBTF institutions AND the CIA-funded drug cartels - he'll be take nvery good care of for all of the hard work he's done for these assholes over the years.
Never trust a moustached man. Is is trying to compensate for something. And if he is willing to grow a dead rat above his lips as a decoy or diversion, think of the lengths he will go to disguise other aspects of his life and psyche...
Facial hair is a dead give away. I liken this to women who wears a lot of make-up. There are issues lurking beneath all of that cover up.
Personally, I have an innate distrust of men who do NOT have any facial hair. The worst of the conformists, Quislings and sociopaths are invariably clean-shaven.
Besides, I'm just too fucking lazy to shave/cut my hair.
Im too lazy to shave every damn day so I use clippers for a 5oclock shadow to show that I tried a little, but not too much. Fuck it.
Glad to hear it. I was starting to feel bad about my biker beard. Maybe I was Charlie Manson's younger brother or something.
A mustachio is a lot of trouble, but a beard--that just denotes a guy who's too lazy to shave--or steal. It's a guy thing--Obama wouldn't understand.
Exactly, to all points.
Now, on the other hand, one has to distinguish between REAL facial hair and effete, hyper-pruned facial topiaries, like Eric Holder's "Clark Gable" moustache ---- that kind of affectation is even worse than being clean-shaven.
I was being facetious about the facial hair but not the make-up though. There must have been a study done on this but surely not sponsored by Maybelline.
I was just trying to gauge the reaction to moustaches, nothing personal either, although my dad has had a moustache for 70 years (do the Math), and it bugs me that he won't get rid of it....
NEVER trust "hyper-pruned facial topiaries" !!!
amen + 1348975908347590
Maybe this is wrong of me, but I always associate those little prissy Holder mustaches with being gay. Is it just me?
Or maybe Errol Flynn will back me up:

Wow, I have heard of "choking the chicken", but I'm not sure what choking the flamingo must represent ...
I shave every five or six days, covers all the bases. I, unlike Holder. obummer, et. al., have nothing to hide.
That would make Bernocchio a freak of nature, no? Of course, I'd agree with that assessment, jus sayin'
The Bernanke seems to have been hiding something all of his life, even when he had a head of hair http://blogs-images.forbes.com/afontevecchia/files/2011/09/bernanke-youn...
Either that or he is still trying to relive the Simon and Garfunkel concert in Central Park... I bet he was there tokin' on a J near the back and just getting up to stretch his legs near the end, totally out of it...
Imagine if this guy ran the Fed...

Nobody goes to jail, nothing will change!
Isn't that lovely, the American System?
You can lie big, BIG as Bush and Cheney, who did not testify before the panel under oath and
there was no recording made of the session, about 9/11, and that's ok no matter the atrocities you've performed.
But if you take the oath, ah! THEN you can be investigated!
I simply can't put it in words. No, wait, I can. It's a Parody of Justice.
How do you know when a lawyer is lying?
What do you call 10,000 lawyers dead at the bottom of the ocean?
That is what he and his ilk have done to that very important "profession".
He will get what he deserves.
A Presidential Pardon?
How many lawyers does it take to redo a roof? Just one if you slice them thin enough.
"That is what he and his ilk have done to that very important "profession"."
Agree. Isn't it terrible that 95% of lawyers can completely ruin it for the other 5%?
Tru dat.
Unless ofcourse the other 5% sit on their collective asses and choose to do nothing. Never, ever underestimate the power of an individual. Just saying.
The sad thing is he will not get what he deserves here on earth. They got away with fast an furious why would anyone care about a few lies compared to lives.
I write the following completely as a methaphor and not in any way in the promotion of any violence. From the movie Gladiator:
Commodus: How dare you show your back to me! Slave, you will remove your helmet and tell me your name.
Maximus: [removes helmet and turns around to face Commodus] My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the TRUE emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
[Commodus trembles in disbelief]
I ain't no slave, that I can assure you.
maybe those Mexican drug cartels that he supplied all those guns to will give him a job?
He'd end up headless, hanging from an overpass near Morelia. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
That's Hank Johnson, the "Guam tipping over" guy.
The only problem for the administration is that this chinless pussy is exactly the type to roll over at the first hint of jail. Obama's got to be sweating right now...
nah...Obamas good, he will just drone Eric and call it a gas main explosion, you know like they did in Indania...
I doubt very seriously the evil in office is sweating right now. More like planning his next evil affair. Mark my words....NO ONE WILL SUFFER JUSTICE FOR ANY OF THESE SCANDALS....NO ONE of any significance! They just flaunt their wickedness in front of you, making you harden to the events that are soon to pass. If any serve justice, it will be someone they wanted to throw under the bus.
Off to the Siberian gulags with Holder! Better yet, Gitmo.
Better yet, take a tree, plant it on the white house lawn, hang holder on the highest branch of that tree.
"State Secrets Priviledge" and poof, investigation gone like your pension.
If I was Rep. Hank Johnson or any House Judiciary member I would be watching for any drones in my neighborhood or any Mexicans carrying AK-47. Eric "Fast and Furious" Holder!
