Lady Gaga?

Library Girl?

I heard David Schoen mention Eric Holder in relation to 'Fast and Furious' - a long-lived RW talking point.

The question has been bugging me because I keep hearing him threaten to impeach Eric Holder if our people bring in witnesses.

I've been meaning to ask, or to research what's the deal with his issue with Eric Holder, other than he's Black. But I simply forget to follow up on the research cuz I've got other stuff on my mind.

So I thought i could get away with a quick question post, because I was sure the answer would pop up instantly. I didn't mean to be that lazy wrt to spelling out his name.

the House. And somehow the Repubs manage to forget that Trump had the WH and majorities in the House and Senate his first two years in office. They could have easily done whatever if they had any kind of case or organization.

I do think Holder withheld investigating a few things that the Repubs thought he should have dug into. So I guess we can impeach Barr and probably Sessions, if that's a criteria.

Of course it was started under the Bush administration, but they try to blame Holder for the death of a border agent.

CNN has a break down and time line below.

He was trying to make the point he thought this trDump one was frivolous and unwarranted.

It could become tit for tat everytime the party leadership changes to another party. Then the party in control hammers the other with frivolous impeachments as retribution to get even.

His point being down the road a qualified, accomplished, and intelligent man like Eric Holder could be dragged through the
impeachment mud pool.

First off there is no comparison between Holder and trDump. trDump is a Mafioso thug,... Holder is a respected attorney and human being, trDump is not in any way, shape, or form.

Second off, how anyone could call January 6 and the months upon months of Nazi Rallies calling the election a steal and a fraud. Whipping up hatred,.. excitement,.. and violence by trDump while pResident with his Nazi follower not a justified impeachable offence needing examination and review,... is just incomprehensible and astounding to anyone with a brain, heart, or ounce of compassion.

impeachment. But never saying why. Except as you mention in the context of a tit for tat..

But seriously, that's it?!! I mean as far as for an actual offense?

Jeeze. He's an drug addled alcoholic bag of stupid, but really that's beyond even stupid.
