This should have happened along time ago, but finally we have it.
House Republicans are calling for a special counsel to determine whether Attorney General Eric Holder perjured himself during his testimony to the House Judiciary Committee on Operation Fast and Furious, Fox News has learned.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, was sending a letter to President Obama on Tuesday arguing that Holder cannot investigate himself, and requesting the president instruct the Department of Justice to appoint a special counsel.
The question is whether Holder committed perjury during a Judiciary Committee hearing on May 3. At the time, Holder indicated he was not familiar with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives program known as Fast and Furious until about April 2011.
“I’m not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks,” Holder testified.
However, a newly discovered memo dated July 2010 shows Michael Walther, director of the National Drug Intelligence Center, told Holder that straw buyers in the Fast and Furious operation “are responsible for the purchase of 1,500 firearms that were then supplied to the Mexican drug trafficking cartels.”
Here’s the CBS segment laying out the latest which includes the probability that the Attorney General perjured himself when testifying to Congress about when he knew what he knew.
The New Black Panthers hardest hit…
For crying out loud, it’s about freakin’ time! So, what could possibly go wrong with this “investigation?”
Eric Holder is a disgrace. And a lying bastard. I hope he gets what he truly deserves.
I find that I cannot cheer for – a Republican finally doing his job…
Since my 30 Day-10 Foot Pole TRO from making any predictions is now over, (after my massive and humilating Failed Labor Day Palin Prediction, geez), I am now permitted to dust off my crystal ball and don my replica of the “Carnac Turban”.
Drum Roll please!
Nothing, Zero, Zilch, Nada is going to come of this scandal.
There will be NO Special Prosecutor named by the White House(DOJ).
So there you go…One fresh off the grill(with a side of fries) prediction.

I am with Dennis, maybe I have lost hope in our system. I believe in the next day or so some other bs will be “released” about some other issue and the people and MSM will switch gears and congress will capitulate. Not without a little whining and feet stomping of course, but will falter none the less. So sad that I feel this way.
Excuse me while I wander off the Reservation , but (Muhaaa haaa). Watching Republican Congressmen become incensed that they were lied to always makes me laugh. Remember “A PLEDGE TO AMERICA”. Also I have seen this game played before ,
step 1: break a federal law
step 2: lie to congress,the felony prosecution get dropped, and perjury charges are filed .
step 3: resign in shame, no fines, no jail time,
