Could Holder Be Convicted Of Perjury?

If we have our wishes, Holder would be found guilty and forced to resign and spend a few years in orange jumpsuits.  He has been such a bad Attorney General, starting with Fast and Furious and terminating in the illegal seizure of AP phone records.  This type of abuse of the system, must not go unpunished.

However, as Rush Limbaugh has said, in today's a sitting black Attorney General will never be asked to leave. It would be politically incorrect. The only way he will leave is if Obama finally believes that he is doing too much harm. What will it take to make the President pull the trigger and ask for Holder's resignation.

The Hill reports that a panel for the House Judiciary Committeeis investigating whether Attorney General Eric Holder lied under oath during his May 15 Congressional testimony about the Justice Department's surveillance of reporters. When asked about prosecuting reporters, Holder told Congress, "In regard to potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material -- that is not something I’ve ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be wise policy.”

Holder's testimony does not seem to match his actions, though. Last week we learned that Holder himself signed the application for a warrant to gain access to an email account and phone records held by James Rosen, a Fox News reporter. Moreover, in order to gain this access, the application accused Rosen of a crime by naming him as a co-conspirator to illegally obtain classified material under the Espionage Act of 1917.

Reports today claim the effort to obtain the Rosen warrant was so aggressive that the classic prosecutorial art of judge shopping might have been used

It should be interesting to hear how Holder attempts to reconcile his claim of not being involved in something he appears to have been very involved in -- namely, accusing journalists of espionage in order to secretly seize their private emails and phone records.
