GOA Alert: Rep. Gosar Continues to Push “No Confidence” in Holder Resolution

Rep. Gosar Continues to Push “No Confidence” in Holder Resolution

Attorney General Eric Holder -- recently caught lying under oath concerning his knowledge of his department’s Fast and Furious program -- may be moving a step closer to the inside of a jail cell.

On Thursday, February 2nd, Chairman Darrell Issa’s Committee on Oversight and Government Reform will hold another hearing on the disastrous Fast and Furious operation.

Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar, a member of that committee, is also pushing a resolution of “no confidence” in Holder’s management -- or lack of management -- of the Justice Department.

That resolution, H. Res. 490, provides a course of action for the momentum generated by that hearing.

H. Res. 490 finds that, as a result of “Holder’s failure to properly control, monitor, or establish Operation Fast and Furious, it is likely Mexican nationals were killed or wounded by weapons sold through this scheme” -- and that the victims of Holder’s incompetence included U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.

It goes on to resolve that the House has “lost confidence” in Holder, which is, basically, a call for him to resign.

Clearly, the Justice Department believes it can stonewall Issa’s inquiry and bull its way through questions concerning its criminal malfeasance. Adoption of the Gosar resolution would make it much, much more difficult to do so.

  1. If Obama can walk away from a court date (1-26-2012)in the State of Georgia without any means to hold him accountable, who is going to force Holder to do anything??????? Who would be charged with the duty for his physical removal??? Government officials are not under the same laws that we have to adhere to. Issa can huff and puff all that he wants to but it falls on ears who refuse to listen and know that they can get away with anything!!

  2. If it goes through in Georgia, then his name wouldn't be on the ballot, so we shall see. Could encourage others states also, but then we might end up getting Hillary, who is about as bad.
