Pam, you do know that DoJ was never a part of the Constitution. It was created 100 years ago BY CONGRESS and is funded BY CONGRESS and is overseen BY CONGRESS. The AG., though appointed by the president, must be approved BY CONGRESS.

There were 140,000 documents that DoJ had that pertained to FF. Holder only provided 7000. Within those 7000 was evidence that Holder/DoJ lied to the committee. That is purgery. Purgery is a crime. Executive privilege does not cover evidence of the commission of a crime. Actually, Issa has gone easy on Holder and allowed him to recant his testimony. In what other investigation has a witness been allowed to recant direct testimony without facing purgery?

The Dems call it fishing. I say grab your poles, get in the boat and let's go fishing and if Obama wants to invite himself along he better plan to bring his own lunch.

Except you're wrong. The documents provided did show the trail of confusion that led to the Feb letter. The contempt charge is for not turning over documents. Not for any perjury or crime.

As for congressional oversight of the Executive Branch, you're kidding right? [www.whitehouse.gov]

Reality? Like fraudulently editing news clips, twice, and then pretend nothing happened?

Let's face it, you don't ask for 140,000 documents to comb through unless you are on a fishing expedition. They have no idea what they are looking for and they won't know until/unless something shows up while they have wasted our tax dollars to have people read through all that paper looking for something, anything that they can pretend is a smoking gun.

Swampy's confusion regarding the three branches of government just might be the highlight of this thread.

This is not news? You wish!

When most people are in a hole, they stop digging; not Swampy.

it wasn't a history lesson directed at anyone specific.

it was to frame the usage, and show the relevance of some recent presidents' use of it.

i'm still pissed that Ollie North went free after the treasonous crap he pulled.

Just goes to show, you can't dig holes in swamps.

17 Democrats vote to hold Holder in contempt.
So much for partisan fishing.

The existence of some elected dupes doesn't change the original motivation.
