Three months ago, conservatives were jubilant over reports that Congressman Darrell Issa would offer a Contempt of Congress complaint against Eric Holder. After all, the Attorney General had openly refused to honor House Oversight Committee subpoenas for an estimated 80,000 documents vital to the Committee’s investigation of the role played by members of the Obama Regime in Operation Fast and Furious.
Holder spent nearly a year lying to Congressional committees and making clear he had no intention of honoring legal subpoenas. His Assistant Attorney General Ron Weich had written a February 4th, 2011 letter to Congress claiming that the criminal walking of more than 2000 firearms across the Mexican border had never happened. It was that letter which would have the distinction of being the first ever Department of Justice communication to Congress which had to be withdrawn by its sender, due to certain “inaccuracies.”
Yet deadlines set by Issa and Senator Charles Grassley for the production of subpoenaed documents have systematically been ignored by this corrupt Attorney General with no substantial response by congressional Republicans.
Last week, CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson, who has reported ferociously on Regime Fast and Furious felonies and misdemeanors since its inception, wrote of another contempt citation being prepared by Darrell Issa. Attkisson discovered a 48 page draft had been provided House Speaker John Boehner, undoubtedly complete with Holder’s every lie, diversion and refusal to comply with House subpoenas.
Were Republican leaders to issue the go-ahead to Darrell Issa and actively persuade any recalcitrant (that is, weak-kneed) GOP members of the House to cooperate, the passage of a contempt citation could provide the American people a long-awaited view of Eric Holder being frog-marched to the well of the House, under arrest by the Sergeant at Arms. And reports of the Obama Regime’s assault on the 2ndAmendment rights of the American people would finally shatter the full-fledged, 18 month Fast and Furious media blockade.
But here is the latest word from a Republican spokesman: “While there are very legitimate arguments to be made in favor of such an action, no decision has been made to move forward with one by the Speaker or by House Republican leaders.”
Three months ago, it was reported that John Boehner would sell out to Eric Holder and the Democrat Party by making an under the table deal with the Attorney General for the Fast and Furious generated scalps of a few DOJ underlings. Of course, Barack Obama and Eric Holder would in return be exonerated. Unfortunately, if a nationwide account of this contemplated betrayal worked to stop Speaker Boehner in his tracks, it certainly didn’t seem to provide incentive for a more courageous tack.
In 1821, the Supreme Court ruled that Congress must have the power to issue citations of contempt in order to “…not [be] exposed to every indignity and interruption that rudeness, caprice, or even conspiracy may mediate against it.”
Yet although proof of his decades of criminal wrongdoing abounds, Republican leaders are frightened to death at the thought of holding Eric Holder to account. And he is in return piling successive rounds of indignity upon the House of Representatives via the deadly Obama Regime conspiracy of Operation Fast and Furious.

Boehner can be replaced
Actually, Boehner NEEDS to be replaced and sent to Kenya with his illegal Muslim leader.
Absolutely. What is wrong with our spineless, cowardly Congressmen? Are they afraid of accountability when these things happen? Or are they paid off? Neither one works for me. Time for a little “spring cleaning”. We need to scrub the whole House and Senate if they will not listen to the people who put them in office. What do they think we pay them for????
boehner is a boner. He’s OWNED by the puppeteers who own obama (but that’s no surprise since they own ALL of congress).
Don’t expect anything REAL out of congress.
KICK THEM ALL OUT!
Time to replace Boehner with West.
Time to impeach Boehner
It is long past time to impeach crying Speaker of the House Boeher, he is as bad and rotten and low down as Obama and Holder rolled together. This guy is in the wrong Party! When does he run again? We need to keep watch for him to run for office again and also everyone who is on his side and make sure none of them are elected again! Nancy Pelosie has more B*LLS than BOEHER!
I will not donate a dime to the party as long as Boehher is Speaker of the House !
He was one of the very worst they could have chosen. At times I get the feeling we are being set up to lose.
Mr. Speaker, Issue the contempt citation and back up your committee chairman or step down !
If you don’t smarten up the Democrats will retake the house and it will be your fault . We are trying to vote the Democrats out , but we need you to act like a right of center Republican .This country doe’s not need or want to be represented by Rinos. If we did we’d vote Democrat .Beside this is not political,the man tried to take away our second amendment by lying and misleading the American people. He needs to go .
TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR!!!! To bad Seal Team Six cant visit Washington, or can they?
I think they took care of Seal Team Six in a tragic accident, where the whole team was where it wouldn’t normally be, with a plane and pilot that wouldn’t normally be flying them….a set-up? You decide!!
I say Seal Team 6 (those left)needs to run another op. This time to the Wh and then to Congress. We need to remove some traitors.
YOU are so right rocquedog. The whole bunch in the white house, DOJ, the house and the senate all needs to be taken out. They would be doing this country a bigger favor than when they took out the terrorist in Pakistan. This is the most corrupt administration ever in the United States and the time is right to retake the government for the people.
Boehner and all of Congress for that matter, need to be replaced immediately. if they are not willing to do their jobs as duly elected officials, “We The People” need to do our jobs and remove them, with force if necessary.
What they are failing to see is that they are backing us into a corner and will only have one alternative, to fight. Just because a coup has not happened here in the US, doesn’t mean one can’t or won’t happen. With over 300 million legal citizens and less than 600 elected officials, do the math, they are not that hard to find nor can they hide for that long.
We have been speaking about elections for the past several years, that has gotten us nowhere as the elections are rigged by the powers that be and they do it without regard and fully knowing that the people of the US are either too stupid or too lazy to do a damn thing about it.
The time is coming people, we fought against England for our sovereignty, time to do it again.
What’s the next step? How do we replace BoneHead, er, Boehner…(almost looks the same)???
What kind of a Republic do we live in? The day those papers showed up on Issa’s desk, completely redacted, I would have been insisting on ‘transparency’….I mean, Issa does have ‘need-to-know’ clearance, doesn’t he?
Standing on the outside looking in is getting so frustrating….I say, ‘vote them all out’ and start over with some grade school talent…we’d be better off…at least more honest to their constituency..
Boehner is guilty of Treason by means of his being an accomplice to Holder’s crimes. He obviously has much to hide. Impeach Boehner right after we impeach Holder. Traitorous bastards!!!
We have a government full of people who need to be held for crimes of treason. When we get a real President, I hope and pray to God that he arrests all these bastards for treason, and they throw them in the same holding cells that they made for terrorists,(OH,yeah,Americans) We’ll give them Americans all right, and I can think of quite a few that need to be held for the criminal treasonist acts that they are now doing.
Nothing pisses me off more than when they call Barry (Scumbag) Mr. President! I see these dinners, where all these people are calling a man that they have no idea, who the hell he is, Mr.President! What?,has this whole country gone mad! This is OUR COUNTRY FOR GOD’S SAKE! I see people on news channels everyday talking about, ” President Obama”. Nothing could be farther from the truth! Why is it that people all around the world know that this prick came in and lied and cheated and bullied his way into the Presidency, the whole time , laughing and making our country the laughing stock, and he had absolutely NO intentions of ever following any of the oaths he raised his hand to. He lied to God and Country! Now he’s got our government lying and cheating for him ,too! Mr Boehner was one of the last of the Mohigans, that some people were counting on to take command and help set this country back on it’s feet., but that’s not to be either.Mr. BONER, why don’t you just suck Holder’s….. you’re doing it anyway! Why don’t you back stabbing government wannbe’s just take a gun and put it in your mouth , or to your balls,(Which ever you’d prefer) and get this shameless, treasonist act over with once and for all? You’ll have nothing left after this anyway. Should the time come that we do recover from this shame that has been brought upon us, you sons- of- hitler, will have no standing in our government or anywhere else for that matter! Who’d want ya?
“……has this whole country gone mad?” YES,,,,and I haven’t a clue what the next step should be.
You are 100% spot on!!! I have never seen such greed and cowardice. I can add nothing to your rant. And yeah, I rant too. They make me so angry with their spineless, creeper existence.
Amen Lydia777, i am with you 100%, most all needs to go, ” to- guan- tom- a- mo “
It appears that we have but one two-headed political party (Democrat/Democrat-lite) unless something can be done to purge the weaklings and the “civilized” go-along-to-get-along RINO’s from the Republican Party. It’s looking pretty good that Luger will be defeated in the primary in Indiana, though I’m not so sure about getting rid of Hatch in Utah. Arizona screwed up when they had the opportunity to retire McCain last time around. The obstructionist to doing what is right concerning F&F and Holder, the disgrace named John Boehner, really needs to go; the times are just too critical to be playing politics instead of realizing that there’s a war going on for the survival of our country. Lord, I would love to see Allen West replace Boehner as Speaker.
John Boehner is the real enemy. If you don’t realize, that Boehner just like Bill Frist is a total flaming queen and did to Obama what Larry Sinclair did to Obama. Obama’s thing is to have white men give him head, we just have to recognize the ones who went down on their knees. I’d seriously start taking a look at the republicans who look like metrosexuals. This power thing is way more perverse then you realize, this power club they’re in is as weird as Skull and Crossbones, or Bohemians, or Bilderbergers, these people are plain and simple nihilistic, end of the world, perverts who jack off together and give each other head. Then they’re all in the game. I’m telling you the dead truth, just look at Cantor and Ryan and Hatch and Boehner and Rubio and then just keep on looking at the rest they’re either compromised or part of the boy’s club. It’s that clear just look and use the brains God gave you, these republican pukes are scum. They’re playing real freaking weird on our dime, in our house. Just look at them. Just look.
I got a buddy that’ll give em’ head. He’s from Lake City, Mo. and loves doing “headshots”! Only problem is that he’s really messy!!!
Mr Speaker, I warned you in that email I sent to you, that if you were not going to do your job, and get rid of that evil boy who call’s himself an Attorney General, then there will be hell to pay, and if you read just these few emails will tell you Mr Speaker, that you are not doing what the American people want, so it appears to me that you will have to go. Don’t think that we like to do this, but YOU have given us no other choice. You are doing Nothing for the American People, and America is really tired of those that we sent to DC to work for us, are not doing so, so I am going to ask you to leave, leave now, America don’t want you anymore. I will be in touch.
Birds of a feather fly together. boehner is another trifling POS in DC.
John Boehner–is not Christian but rather he is a Godless Catholic–he is also a RINO, a Marxist democrat!
He railed against Barack Obama and the evil he was doing before he became speaker–and since he became speaker–he has supported Barack Obama in almost every point!
OK. Since my previous post was deleted/not accepted by the mod’s here, I will try once again. This time however, a screenshot has been made of my posting, along with preface, which will be promulgated over the internet. Since you use the internet, so do I.
Previous ‘moderated out’ post.
This type of journalism, if you can call it journalism, is absolute crap.
There is not one verifiable source of what is happening TODAY. Oh yes, links to news articles that are several months old.
While I have no doubt Sharyl Attkisson obtained a copy of the ‘Contempt Charges’ the author of this crap has not given a single link or quoted anything to indicate ANY response from The Speaker.
If this turns out to be true, then I’m sure Issa will have something to say. I’ll wait for the Issa response. Until then, this is just fear-mongering and the author should be ashamed.
You speak not with forked tongue. I too, have other intel adivising that Boehner has granted permission to various reps to proceed with contempt charges for H. It’s way over due but atleast it looks like something is in fact, happening. Not sure where author is getting his info. but needs to chk. his sources.
John Boehner is just a lap dog and golfing buddie to Obama!! He has been an habitual liar every since he was appointed to Speaker of the House! This Low Life S.O.B. needs to be replaced or recalled by the state that he was hatched from! I still believe the majority of the Republicans and all of the Democraps are in bed together striving toward “One World Government!! At this point it deffinitely appears the only honest party is the “Tea Party”!
We need to flood his ofc. with emails/ph. calls and tell him to either get right or get gone! And if he doesn’t change his tune, flood the internet with calls of impeachment/recall.
The truth is that AG Eric Holder, Janet Napolitano and yes, the “Manchurian Candidate” are up to their you know what’s in Operation Fast and Furious and the documents and emails after February 4, 2011 will in all probability never be released since if they were the entire Obama Administration including Obama would be but on trial.
I am relatively certain that John Boehner will not be re-elected to act as “Speaker”, he has clearly shown the world that he is not close to being a leader and the position of “Speaker of the House” requires someone with a backbone and does not cry at the drop of a hat.
The American people all need to contact their elected officials and demand that John Boehner allow Congressman Darrell Issa and Senator Chuck Grassley to hold AG Eric Holder in contempt for refusing to turn over the requested documents and emails. If we don’t do it no one will!
It is my understanding that no one is above the law, that no one would include AG Eric Holder, Secretary Janet Napolitano and yes, the “Manchurian Candidate”. The rats are cornered and the Speaker of the House should not allow them to escape and not be punished for their multiple crimes a giant the American people and the citizens of Mexico.
Bonehead(akaboehner) should meet in the well of the house with holder, both to be charged with malfeasence of office with impeachment charges to follow. The so-called House Republican Leaders must wait in line to later be charged with giving aid and comfort to the enemy (the pretender in the WH).
This isn’t the first time Boehner has quietly abetted Obama’s actions and those of his people. Boehner screams loudly for public consumption so the people to can see him stand up for justice, but the truth is in his actions, or lack thereof! More and more evidence of crimes and misdemeanors by Obama and his administration, more and more evidence that Obama is ineligible to hold officer, but from Boehner . . . nothing! No movement to impeach Obama. One has to wonder why!
Isaiah 9:10 10 “The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.” God’s judgement is upon America.
My question is whether Holder has some incriminating evidence on the wimpy RINOs or are they just plain wimpy??
Either way, this is a disgrace to our great nation. It is way past time for Holder to be indicted, prosecuted, convicted and go to jail for murder of Brian Terry.
I have asked for someone to please get us a rope. Now I’m asking for 3 ropes. The Imposter, His Boy Holder and their lackey Boehner. I want all 3 of em’ to swing togher since they’re so close!
Boehner does not seems to know which party he belongs to and appears to be acting on Obama’s orders to Protect Holder and next election he needs to be voted out, then he can follow Obama out and be his second shoe shine boy behind Biden!
Unfortunately, we will not get the chance to vote them out of ofc. The Obama/Soros juggernaut has got plans for this election. A state of emergency plan resulting in martial law and postponment of elections/results. It will be due to massive rioting predicted by Soros (60 Min. Prog. back a couple of mos. agoi). He knows because he will be the primary initiator of said rioting. You all better start looking around you and noticing how the govt. has been planning on this for awhild now. Maybe like the some 3 dozen FEMA camps built with 10 ft. chainlink and razor wire (turned inward not out), Maybe even that DHS has been buying inordinate amts. of ammunition. Then look at all the “related “laws that have been passed. Wake up America!
Here’s a question for anyone who knows about the workings of Congress. Can a Speaker of the House be removed from that position before the end of his/her two-year term?
Boehner is from the old school Republican we protect each other, and screw the people. Boehner should be impoeached and pick a real concervitive.
Perhaps if Bonehead Boehner doesn’t shape up he should be summarily displaced by someone that hasn’t been homesteading DC. To think he’s in line for the presidency is frightening.
Is this the mistake you have to make to become known as a RHINO? Why would he do this after all the withholding of memos and lying to Congress on Fast and Furious.Let us have the facts then decide what should be done.Issa will not throw in the towel on this even if Boehner is trying to protect the DOJ if this is a true writing.
If Boehner is that weak kneed, then he needs to be kicked out! Aren’t there any Decent, Honest, Justice Loving Conservative in Congress any longer? Or have they all sold their souls to the Legion of Demonkrats and MaoBama?
John Boehner is typical of a Party leadership which is literally grateful to Democrats for allowing Republicans to exercise that little bit of power and authority the left has granted them. And as they don’t want to do ANYTHING which could jeopardize their ability to get Super Bowl tickets, private parking spots, the best seats at restaurants and occasional face time on national TV, they hide under their desks whenever called upon to take a stand against their Democrat masters. Only when conservative voters have succeeded in ridding congress of limp-wristed, wasters of oxygen like Boehner, Cantor and McConnell will the US have a chance of once again offering the liberty envisioned by the Founders.
I think everyone is so deeply bogged down in favors to lobbiest and big money that no one can do what is good for the country. Doing the right thing is simple until you reflect on the fact that you want to be reelected for the perks/money and some one is coniving for you to vote a particular way to bebefit their interest. Washington needs a D&C.
What more does Boehner need? The Asst. Attorney General had to walk back a letter for inaccuracies, which was sent to Congress. Holder refuses to comply with subpoenas from Congress. Are you kidding me. What kind of rinkydink Government games are being played here? This is bizarre.
What is with Boehner. He talked a good talk when he got the job, Now he seems to fold every time the dems want him to? wonder if he thinks he has a life time job? For sure at the rate he is going he will be gone soon
Like all politicians, he says one thing and does something else.
There are RUMORS that members of Congress have received death threats if they try to impeach obama or vett his eligibility. I hope this is not true, but it would explain a lack of action from Congress if it is true.
If such is true than there should be a huge, loud outcry. Since there hasn’t been any I suspect it’s a cover ones butt self serving rumor.
