HOLDER HELD IN CONTEMPT- OBAMA CLAIMS EXEC PRIVILEGE!!!

BREAKING!!! ERIC HOLDER  SENT A LETTER TO THE WHITE HOUSE ASKING THAT THE DOCUMENTS SUBPOENAED BY THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE BE HELD UNDER EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE!!!

THE WHITE HOUSE AGREED TO

EXERT EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE!!!

DESPITE HIS ZERO HOUR REQUEST OF THE WHITE HOUSE, OBAMA’S CLAIMING OF EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE   AND AFTER HAVING OBSTRUCTED THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE FOR MORE THAN A FULL YEAR, ERIC HOLDER HAS BEEN FOUND IN CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS BY THAT COMMITTEE!!!

ONE THING IS CRYSTAL CLEAR…IF WHAT IS IN THE SUBPOENAED DOCUMENTS WERE TO SHOW THAT NEITHER HOLDER NOR ANYONE AT HIS LEVER OR ABOVE HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE OPERATION OR PARTICIPATED IN A COVER UP OF FAST AND FURIOUS…THEY WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TURN THE DOCUMENTS IN QUESTION OVER TO THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.

THE FACT THAT HOLDER HAS ASKED FOR AND BEEN GRANTED EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE AMOUNTS TO ADDING FUEL TO THE FIRE REGARDING INAPPROPRIATE ACTIVITIES, KNOWLEDGE OF AND THE COVERING UP OF, FAST AND FURIOUS.

The fact that such Executive Privilege could have been granted at any time in the last 14 months regarding these documents and that Obama waited until literally 10 minutes before the Oversight Committee’s contempt vote adds to the speculation that there are things VERY damaging to the Obama administration contained in them that Obama does NOT want Congress or the AMERICAN PEOPLE to see and now adds Obama himself into the cover up of the operation, the murder of Agent Brian Terry and the obstruction of the investigation into both.

UNLESS HOLDER HAD CONVERSATIONS DIRECTLY WITH OBAMA REGARDING FAST AND FURIOUS, IT’S OPERATION AND/OR THE COVER UP OF IT AND IT’S  STANDING IN THE MURDER OF AGENT BRIAN TERRY…INDICATING KNOWLEDGE OF THE OPERATION AND ITS COVER UP WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE…EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE CAN NOT BE EXERTED CONSTITUTIONALLY!!!

IF OBAMA WAS INDEED INVOLVED OR HAD SUCH KNOWLEDGE, IT FLIES IN THE FACE OF SWORN TESTIMONY PROVIDED BY ERIC HOLDER BEFORE CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES WHICH WOULD BE PERJURY!!

HERE IS WHAT OBAMA HAD TO SAY ON THE SUBJECT OF EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE BACK IN 2007…

Holder’s “Extraordinary” Contempt

And so we now know exactly what Eric Holder meant when he stated that he was ready to make “An extraordinary accommodation” to avoid a contempt of Congress vote in the house.

In an “extraordinary” meeting, at 5pm EST yesterday, Holder arrived empty handed.

Congressman Issa, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee had instructed Holder to produce some 1,300 documents, emails and memos pertaining to subpoenaed documents related to the cover up of the Fast and Furious scandal.

The number of Documents had been severely diluted from the subpoenaed 80,000 such documents by Speaker John Boehner who, reportedly, would like the entire investigation dropped because in his mind, it will be harmful to the republican party in an election year.

Yesterday’s meeting lasted an “extraordinary” 20 minutes and Holder told Chairman Issa that he was willing to…”brief” the committee…regarding the 1,300 documents in question but ONLY if Chairman Issa would first agree to drop any vote regarding contempt of Congress.

In other words…

Holder’s Best Friend…BOEHNER???

Breaking!!!

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS!!!

SPEAKER JOHN BOEHNER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CUTTING THE NUMBER OF MEMOS, DOCUMENTS AND EMAILS UNDER SUBPOENA FROM THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE FROM 80,000 DOWN TO ONLY 1,300!!!

While Holder attempts to make some sort of “deal” with Issa to avoid contempt charges in a meeting at 5pm eastern today, it has also been reported that Speaker Boehner wants the entire Fast and Furious investigation DROPPED because HE thinks, in an election year, to further the investigation will somehow harm republican chances.

If I could say one thing to Speaker Boehner, it would be…

Mr. Speaker, and I use that term temporarily, to NOT go forward with the Fast and Furious investigation for ANY reason would cause serious and irreparable damage to the system of justice provided by the Constitution and further, it would set a precedent by which those in elected office or appointed to their position BY those in elected office are held to NO standards of the law whatsoever while the people of the nation, NOT elected or appointed are held to the HIGHEST possible standards.

To drop this investigation in whole or in part, as Boehner desires, is an affront to this nation’s citizens.

Friday Fume

What a week. I have to admit…I’m a little dizzy from all the liberal spin this week.

While these KNOT HEADS chase their own tails at warp speed, I have to sit by WATCHING them.

Don’t these nuts know they can kiss their own butts without the whirling rampage? Honestly, I never know whether to be completely appalled or mildly entertained by it all.

I suppose, a little of both. Oh well…It IS Friday and either way…

I’m fuming.

So…There was Eric Holder, appearing in front of a Senate hearing a few days ago, where he actually said that he was showing consistent values and…

“I STUCK TO MY GUNS.”

Look…maybe it’s just me but…IF HE HAD STUCK JUST A LITTLE CLOSER TO HIS GUNS…HE’D KNOW WHERE THEY ARE NOW…WOULDN’T HE?????

It seems to me that if this moron would PART with about 72,400 documents, memos and emails AS QUICKLY AS HE DID WITH THOSE GUNS….Congress wouldn’t be heading FAST AND FURIOUSLY TOWARD CONTEMPT CHARGES!!!

Now, the head of the DEPARTMENT OF INJUSTICE wants to cut a deal with Issa…What did he call it…Oh yeah…

An Open Letter to Congress from We The People

Author’s note: The contact information for all Members of Congress can be found by CLICKING HERE. Please email the link to this letter to all Members of YOUR Congressional delegation today!

 

To:  All Members of Congress

Re: Holder’s Contempt

 

Dear Member of Congress,

 

Today, We The People speak with a singular voice as this letter, distributed via social media and our own email lists, is forwarded to each and every Member of Congress.

We understand that, finally, Congress is ready to vote on contempt charges against Eric Holder.

It’s about time.

It has now been more than a year since Holder started obstructing justice and stonewalling Congress and the American people regarding Fast and Furious.

Now, we are led to understand, there is still a way for Holder to escape contempt charges if he simply turns over a few, post February 4th, 2011, documents.

This is outrageous and unacceptable!

As one of We The People, this must NOT be allowed to happen.

The Congressional Committee investigating Fast and Furious has subpoenaed some 80,000 documents, emails and memos from Eric Holder. Holder has only turned over 7,600 of those subpoenaed documents.

We The People demand that the ONLY way for Holder to escape contempt charges is to immediately turn over all documents, emails and memos subpoenaed. ALL OF THEM. All 72,400 subpoenaed but so far withheld documents.

As the vote is set to take place on June 20th, 2012, We The People demand that no Member of Congress accept ANYTHING LESS than the FULL compliance to the subpoenas by that scheduled date.

Should Eric Holder attempt or agree to turn over just SOME of the remainder of what has been subpoenaed, he is stalling for more time. He has already been given more than a year to comply.

Let me ask this question. Were I, as a common citizen, subpoenaed to turn over evidence in an investigation and, for more than a year, I refused to give some 90% of the subpoenaed evidence TO the investigators…What exactly would be MY fate?

If upon then handing over a small handful of more evidence, in the face of contempt charges, but FAR from all I had been ordered to produce…Would I then be “off the hook?”

I believe we both know the answers.

Why then should the Attorney General, appointed as our nation’s top law enforcement officer, be given such latitude? Why should the Attorney General be allowed to essentially tell but 10% of the truth under oath? Why is the Attorney General NOT held accountable to the same standards as We The People?

Eric Holder has, for more than a year, obstructed justice from the top of the Department OF Justice. He has shown open contempt for Congress and the American people and he has perjured himself.

As a Member of Congress, the time is long overdue for you to act and act decisively. Do NOT provide Eric Holder with another chance, another pass and more time to stall this important investigation. People on both sides of our southern border have died because of Fast and Furious and so has agent Brian Terry. The weapons “walked” over that border will be in play for years…Decades…to come and the more than 200 deaths thus far are just the beginning.

Will YOU, as a Member of Congress, take this opportunity to act decisively or will YOU allow further obstruction of justice by striking some sort of “deal” to allow Eric Holder to stall, stonewall, and continue to break the laws by which I, as a common citizen, must abide?

If Eric Holder is NOT held FULLY accountable and allowed to turn over but 10% of the subpoenaed material, a dangerous and unconstitutional precedent will be set in that the nation’s top law enforcement officer will be held to a much lower standard than the common citizen.

If YOU, as a Member of Congress, accept some sort of “DEAL” in this regard, YOU will set that precedent.

Please do NOT respond to me personally. Rather, reply to this letter via The National Patriot at admin@thenationalpatriot.com as the author of this letter which is being sent to all Members of Congress, WILL print it for all to see.

Fed up American Voters with the ID’s to prove it and a focus on accountability, await your response.

Signed,

We The People

National Patriots All.

A House of Cards in a Perfect Storm

Well…It’s about time, isn’t it?

After being given more than a year to comply with congressional subpoenas and nearly a month after a Memorial Day weekend deadline went unheeded, It now looks as though congress, like most conservatives, have finally had enough of Eric Holder and his antics.

Last Saturday, in the article, “Mr. Speaker…File Contempt Charges…NOW!!” we at The National Patriot sent an open letter to Speaker Boehner’s office and asked that our Patriot readers follow suite and email the link to the article to him as well.

To believe it was our letter and the flooding of Boehner’s email which turned the tide would be a false pat on the back, but, it certainly didn’t hurt.

One can easily suspect similar pressure came from within the house chamber.

The list of Members of Congress who have called for Holder’s resignation or firing has grown over the last 6 months to now number more than 130. It’s very possible that number swelled after last Friday’s hearing in which, Holder again, stone walled and dodged questions.

Never, in memory, have we witnessed such a direct and compelling display of contempt of congress.

A Fox, a Weasel and 2 Badgers Now on Guard

This is perhaps the most obvious case of the fox guarding the hen house ever.

In this case, it’s worse than that.

Here, we have a weasel, guarding the hen house and reporting his findings to a fox.

Eric Holder, perhaps the most corrupt Attorney General in our nation’s history, has appointed 2 investigators to look into leaks coming from the White House. Those two investigators report only to Holder; and he, in turn, reports to perhaps the most corrupt president in our nation’s history.

Seal Team 6.

The doctor who helped identify bin Laden.

The CIA double agent who helped nab the 2nd underwear bomber.

The cyber virus that hit the Iranian nuclear program.

Obama’s drone kill list.

Somebody high up…VERY high up…Can’t keep their mouth shut.

Last week, Obama in a press conference, stated that to insinuate that the leaks were coming from his administration was both wrong and offensive.

Mr. Speaker…File Contempt Charges…NOW!

To: Speaker of the House

John Boehner

Email Form for Speaker Boehner (Use this form and paste the link to this article in the message box)

 

Speaker Boehner,

Have you had enough of Eric Holder yet? Have you?

I know I have and I also know I’m not alone.

Listening to Holder feign amnesia in one congressional hearing after another is nauseating. He’s done it 8 times now and I have had quite enough.

The committees have subpoenaed some 80,000 documents, emails and memos from Eric Holder and he has turned over only 7,600 of them.

Holder himself yesterday admitted to having 140,000 such documents but upon questioning from Congressman Issa as to how many subpoenaed documents he has YET to turn over, Holder would only say that he has turned over 7,600.

Speaker Boehner, in not answering questions, in stonewalling, in lying, in claiming he does not recall dates, conversation or reading documents, in claiming he has no idea who knew what, when they knew it or who if anybody they told, Eric Holder is clearly showing contempt for the congressional committees.

We all watched and listened to the sound bites from yesterday’s hearing. We all heard time and time again…”I don’t know,” “I don’t recall,” I was not aware,” and on and on and on.

We heard the contentious back and forth with Congressman Issa and we listened while Holder refused to answer question. We heard it and I suspect, you did as well.

All of that was rehashed non answers of questions asked and not answered by Holder in 7 previous hearings but there was something new. Something startling. Something which did not get much notice yesterday, but I want to bring it to your attention today.

This was the give and take between Eric Holder and Congressman Jason Chaffetz.

In this, you will hear, point blank and no question about it, Eric Holder PERJURE himself before the congressional committee.

PERJURY, Mr. Speaker.

Watch and listen.

From an email dated Oct 17th, 2010, from Deputy Assistant Attorney General Jason Weinstein to James Trusty:

“Do you think we should have Lanny participate in press when Fast and Furious and Laura’s Tucson case [Wide Receiver] are unsealed? It’s a tricky case, given the number of guns that have walked, but it is a significant set of prosecutions.”

Then on Oct. 18th, 2010, from Trusty back to Weinstein:

“I think so, but the timing will be tricky, too. Looks like we’ll be able to unseal the Tucson case sooner than the Fast and Furious (although this may be just the difference between Nov. and Dec).”

“It’s not clear how much we’re involved in the main F and F [Fast and Furious] case,” reads the email, “but we have Tucson [Wide Receiver] and now a new unrelated case with [redacted] targets. It’s not any big surprise that a bunch of US guns are being used in MX [Mexico], so I’m not sure how much grief we get for ‘guns walking.’ It may be more like ‘Finally, they’re going after people who sent guns down there.’”

Mr. Speaker, with the words being read aloud to him by Congressman Chaffetz, Eric Holder stood his ground and told Congressman Chaffetz that those emails DID NOT REFER TO FAST AND FURIOUS.

Mr. Speaker…clearly…Eric Holder is lying and THAT, sir, is perjury.

For Eric Holder to insist, over and over again, that these emails do not refer to Fast and Furious when he is told over and over again by Congressman Chaffetz that they clearly do because they indeed mention Fast and Furious by name is both showing contempt for the Congressional Committee and committing perjury.

No more delays, Mr. Speaker. No more waiting. No more chances, Mr. Speaker.

I call on you to bring charges of contempt and perjury against Eric Holder NOW.

You, sir, have allowed Eric Holder more than a year to comply, and it is obvious to the world that he has no intention of doing so; and to allow this travesty to continue is, in and of itself, a travesty and any who would allow the continuation of it are themselves guilty of aiding and abetting the contempt, the perjury and the travesty.

Not for one more day Mr. Speaker, should the Attorney General, the head of the Department of Justice, be allowed to obstruct justice!

Have you had enough of Eric Holder yet? Have you?

I know I have and I also know I’m not alone.

Holder Perpetrating Voter Fraud in Florida

“We have an obligation to make sure the voter rolls are accurate and we are going to continue forward and do everything that we can legally do to make sure than ineligible voters cannot vote. We are firmly committed to doing the right thing and preventing ineligible voters from being able to cast a ballot. We are not going to give up our efforts to make sure the voter rolls are accurate.”

That is the message from the Florida Attorney General’s office regarding Eric Holders desperate demand that the state cease and desist in purging voter rolls of illegal aliens  who are registered to vote illegally.

Florida has had quite enough and one can see fit to they are not alone in that sentiment.

Where exactly does this leave Holder? In a not so enviable position really.

Section 5 is the basis for his argument but, it’s a long shot at this point. Section 5 protects minorities from illegal practices regarding voting in several southern states where, admittedly in the past, such things took place. Voter intimidation, refusal to register minorities etc.

Now, due to Section 5, those states must okay any change in voter law with the nation’s Department of Justice.

Holder is really, really reaching to use Section 5 in this way. Really reaching.

Lobotomized Shepherds Tending Their Flocks

They do walk among us. Really, they do.

Stupid people.

Liberals.

Pardon my redundancy.

A couple of days ago, in what can only be seen as a non partisan, clearly not racial, and certainly a prime example of the separation of church and state they liberals so heavily preach in favor of sort of event, Eric Holder spoke to a group of black religious leaders and the Congressional Black Caucus about…

How they could use their pulpits to help reelect Barack Hussein Obama.

So…there he was, the Attorney General of the United States, who is under investigation and possibly facing contempt of congress charges, speaking to black preachers and black caucus members.
