Idaho Congressman Raúl R. Labrador calls for Holder's resignation

Via The Dorkfish Express

I received an email from Congressman Raúl R. Labrador’s office today, with a letter attached that began thus: “Today, Idaho First Congressional District Congressman Raúl R. Labrador called for the resignation of United States Attorney General Eric Holder after evidence of discrepancies in his previous testimony before the House Committee on the Judiciary was brought to light.”

The letter is dated October 6, 2011.

In the body of the letter, Congressman Labrador wrote pointedly:

“The Attorney General of the United States has an obligation to provide truthful and accurate testimony to Congress. When Attorney General Eric Holder testified before Congress on May 3, his statements were either untrue or deliberately misleading. It is clear from recently-released documents that Mr. Holder did in fact know about Fast and Furious well before he publicly admitted. Attorney General Holder has a troubling pattern of failed cooperation with the legislative branch. Because of this intentional stonewalling and his misleading testimony, I now call for Mr. Holder’s resignation. It is clear he has not been honest about the extent of his involvement with the failed Fast and Furious program and should not be entrusted with managing the Department of Justice.“

  3. King Hussein will simply pardon all concerned - as is within his power as _resident.

    Can't stop MEXICO from indicting them however, and I believe treaties would require their extradition!

    Is it wrong for me to pray for this outcome?!
