july 3 2012 Eric Holder Is Defying the Law by Resisting Subpoena


Should the House have held Eric Holder in contempt? The question is not whether they should have; the question is why they did not do it earlier.
Despite the attempts by the Democrats to spin this into something it is not, the contempt is very straightforward: Darryl Issa's committee issued a subpoena for documents relating to the Fast and Furious scandal. Congress, like the courts, has subpoena power. A subpoena is simply an order to appear at a certain date at a certain time to give testimony. A subpoena can also command someone to bring items or documents with them for their testimony. This is what has been happening in the House of Representatives.

When someone receives a subpoena, they can either comply or challenge the subpoena on certain legal grounds or claim the documents are privileged. What they cannot do is ignore the subpoena and that is what Holder did. For months, Holder has ignored the subpoena. When Darryl Issa asked if the documents had been assembled within the Justice Department, Holder refused to answer. In short, he was thumbing his nose at the committee.

OTOH - how can we expect holder or obama to honor a subpoena when they can't even read? Like most blacks.

The repugs took Holder to court and a Federal judge denied the contempt charges. The leaders of the insurrection will be dragged to court too. OverthrowingAmerica is frowned on in most courts.

Holder was a member of the President's cabinet at the time. As such, the dispute was between the legislative and executive branch.

None of the people currently subpoenaed are a member of a President's cabinet. That means there is no executive branch dispute.

Holder is a lowlife POS who didn't exercise the separation between the white house and the DOJ that is called for

You mean a President can't demand that his AG overturn an election?
I guess you think Trump is a lowlife POS if that is your standard about separation between WH and DoJ.

 

[Poor Richard Saunders]

HAHAHA. Like that matters.

It very much matters. Private citizens can't claim executive privilege.
