DEMS seek dismissal of Fast and Furious suit against Holder

[dixiegrrrrl]

A little-noticed brief filed last Thursday by House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Ranking Member Elijah Cummings and fellow Democrats John Conyers, Jr., Henry A. Waxman, Edolphus Towns and Louise M. Slaughter, asks the United States District Court for the District of Columbia to dismiss without prejudice the civil complaint by the Oversight Committee against Eric Holder following the Attorney General being found in contempt of Congress for refusing to produce subpoenaed documents related to the Fast and Furious gunwalking investigation.

1. The Republicans sued Holder *EVEN* after Issa's own fact finds said otherwise.

Issa needs to face the Ethics Committee for expulsion.

2. It's illegal to distrubute assault weapons to criminals and/export them to mexico.

Unless you're Eric Holder, evidently

7. No, It's the flag worn on the right sleeve.

Good morning from western Afghanistan (0448 local time).

3. "Little noticed"? Good, if doing it quietly gets it done.

It was just another GOP obstructionist move designed to make Obama a one-term president.

4. "Fast and Furious" is a deliberate attempt by the rethugs to defer blame to the Obama Administration

Keep in mind that George Bush was the first idiot who started this crap in the first place. What Eric Holder did was to ensure that the operation be controlled in such a way to ensure compliance, but the rethugs in Congress impeded the operation and ensuing investigation for political gain. Elijah is correct in wanting to dismiss charges, and hopefully we will get a judge not appointed by Reagan or Bush to grant this obvious no brainer of a request.
