| Dodece said: Congress needs evidence that a crime has been committed, and frankly screwing up on the job isn't necessarily a crime. Yes it may have been tragic, but there is no obvious intent. It isn't like the President told Holder to go give guns to drug cartels so they can murder American citizens. It was a colossal fuck up is all. |
Except for the pesky little fact that congressional oversight committees aren't limited to investigating crimes, but also waste and acts of stunning incompetence. Like Fast and Furious. And Holder may well have committed a crime by lying about what he knew about Fast and Furious and when he knew it. Ironically, Holder's justice department just tried to nail Roger Clemens to the wall for supposedly doing exactly what Holder appears to be doing right now: obstructing and lying to Congress.
