Couldn't happen to a bigger douche bag.

Was just able to get back to this, TW. Are you saying there is NO PENALTY specified for being in contempt of congress? If that's the case then I'll admit here that I hold most of Congress in the highest contempt.

You ain't a Dem, you're heading for jail.

No Pecos, Lying to Congress, Conspiracy, Obstruction of a Congressional Investigation, Heck with Holder, I'd charge him with accessory to  murder, charges and convictions (keyword), have sent more than a few .gov folks "up the river" to a federal prison...

Clinton lost his law degree with the Monica/Lying To Congress dust up....Big Whoop, at $100,000 a speech, he's fine without it.

However, this is an election year, and the contempt charges (I'm like Herknav I'll believe it when I see it), will only kick the can down the road...BHO will pardon him regardless, the Republicans want a resignation prior to the election, and Holder is digging in cause he knows he'll get a pardon.

For more than a year, CBS News has been investigating the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms' "Fast and Furious" operation and related cases that also employed the controversial tactic of "gunwalking." With Justice Department officials refusing all interview requests to date, CBS News requested numerous public documents through the Freedom of Information Act.

So far, all of the requests that have been answered have been denied in part or in full.

This week, we received a partial response to a request made more than a year ago. It asked for communications involving "Project Gunrunner," the umbrella program for Fast and Furious, from 2010 through April 2011. Specifically, it sought any communications to which any of the following top Justice officials were a party: Attorney General Eric Holder; Lanny Breuer, Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division; Kevin Carwile, chief of the Capital Case Unit; and Deputy Assistant Attorney Generals Bruce Schwarz and Kenneth Blanco.

The response includes mostly-blank pages.

What a country! If you lie to congress, refuse to appear before a congressional committee, refuse even to give a congressional inquiry any information you may have, there's nothing they can do? Presidential pardon be d***ed! What a country! I love it! If you're the chief law enforcement officer in this country you can do whatever you please and no one can touch you? No wonder so many people want to come here! What a country! Maybe I should move to Syria, at least the despot over there admit what they are.

No Bill, they can throw you in jail .
Lying to Congress is a criminal offense. It's what Ollie North and Scooter Libby were convicted of.
But they only enforce it against Republicans.
Democrats don't do anything but lie so they get a pass like Clinton and Elena Kagan.
Same with paying your taxes , Republicans like Agnew lose their office and go to prison, Democrats like Giethner become Treasury Secretary.

I knew I should have turned Democrat! I got into the wrong line of work. If when I was younger I'd gotten into politics I could be filthy rich and immune from any prosecution. WHAT A COUNTRY!
