Holder scandal grows; hearing under way
From the Desk of: Steve Elliott, Grassfire Nation
As I write, Attorney General Eric Holder is under direct questioning from members of Congress as part of the "Fast and Furious" hearing before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. (Link to live feed below.)
But even as Holder is facing charges of obstruction and even "contempt of Congress" for refusing to cooperate with this investigation, new information is breaking indicating that the Holder scandal at DOJ is growing.
+ + + DOJ Officials Take Bribes; Holder Ignores!
The Daily Caller is now reporting that "at least two DOJ prosecutors accepted cash bribes from allegedly corrupt finance executives... but were never arrested or prosecuted." The DC then says that Holder "is aware prosecutors and elected officials were bribed and otherwise compromised, but has not held anyone accountable." (sources at end of message)
So in addition to the botched "Fast and Furious" gun running gambit that resulted in hundreds of deaths including a U.S. Border agent, now we have Holder ignoring episides of bribery in his own department!
It is clear that Eric Holder must be held accountable.
Rep. Issa is doing his part in holding the hearings and theatening to charge Holder with "contempt of Congress" if he does not cooperate with the investigation (see report below).
But unless citizens take a stand and let their voices be heard, Holder will not be held accountable.
+ + Two Actions Today:
Action #1 -- Sign The "Holder Must Go" Petition.
We already have more than 50,000 signers but we must rally 100,000 or more to let Congress know that citizens are watching this issue closely. Go here to sign the petition:

Action #2 -- Fax Congress Now!
The Obama/Holder team is hoping these hearings will come and go with little attention on the scandal at DOJ. It is vitally important that every office on Capitol Hill know that citizens are demanding accountability.

Grassfire Report:
Rep. Issa threatens to hold Holder in "Contempt Of Congress"
On the eve of Congressional hearings into Attorney General Eric Holder's botched "Fast and Furious" gun running operation which has thus far resulted in hundreds of murders, Rep. Darrell Issa sent a pointed, four-page letter to Holder threatening to hold the AG in "contempt of Congress."
The letter lays out the "lengths to which [Holder is] willing to go to obstruct our investigation and deceive the public," and then concludes:
"If the Department continues to obstruct the congressional inquiry by not providing documents and information, this Committee will have no alternative but to move forward with proceedings to hold you in contempt of Congress."
Grassfire has obtained a copy of Issa's letter and we have posted it here for you to read. Go here:

+ + We Must Demand Holder Be Held Accountable
Grassfire has set up a special FaxFire so that your personal message can be delivered directly to your Representative, your two Senators and key congressional offices as these important hearings are getting started.
Our fax system is simply the fastest and most efficient way to get your message through to the offices in Congress.

If you prefer to send your own faxes, we have posted all the information you need.
The fact is, unless citizens rise up and take action, Holder will not be held accountable. The liberal media are doing its best to cover for this latest Obama administration fiasco. The hard work of citizenship is once again left to friends like you.
The most important thing is that you take action. Again, please read Rep. Issa's stinging rebuke of AG Holder and then take action.
