TWO U.S. Senators have called for Attorney General Eric Holder's resignation, joining the 52 House Members who have already called for him to step down.
Eric Holder was asked by a reporter what he thought of the surge in calls for his resignation.
Holder blew up and pointed his finger and demanded: "You need to stop this! It's not an organic thing that just happened! You guys (the Conservative media) are behind it!"
Please CLICK HERE is you want to keep this issue alive! Do you want to be one of "You guys?" Do you want bragging rights of taking Attorney General Eric Holder down?
As expected, most of the liberal media barely reported the confrontation!
Apparently, all the calls for his resignation have gotten under the skin of the Attorney General. Just this week, TWO United States Senators have called for him to resign over Fast and Furious. On Tuesday, it was U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson (R-GA). Now, calling for his resignation is U.S. Senator James Inhofe (R-OK).
But yesterday there was even a new "twist" to the Fast and Furious story that has badgered Eric Holder for weeks---the Obama administration sealed the court records of the investigation into the murder of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. It was his death (by Fast and Furious weapons) that helped to "blow the lid" off of Fast and Furious.
According to the Weekly Standard: "The Obama Administration has abruptly sealed court records containing alarming details of how Mexican drug smugglers murdered a U.S. Border patrol agent with a gun connected to a failed federal experiment that allowed firearms to be smuggled into Mexico.
"This means information will now be kept from the public as well as the media. Could this be a cover-up on the part of the 'most transparent' administration in history? After all, the rifle used to kill the federal agent (Brian Terry)last December in Arizona's Peck Canyon was part of the now infamous Operation Fast and Furious. Conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the disastrous scheme allowed guns to be smuggled into Mexico so they could eventually be traced to drug cartels."
Now the calls for resignation will come fast and furious because the Department of Justice apparently is hiding information to "save Holder's neck;" or the neck of his boss, Barack Obama!
Holder MUST resign; and you can fax Congress to demand that!
Please CLICK HERE to FAX every United States Congressman to urge them to call for the RESIGNATION of Attorney General Eric Holder because he knew about Fast and Furious from the beginning! His "cover-up" continues, not just by his "stonewalling" to Congressional investigators, but now records have been sealed so NO ONE gets any information!
An astute high government official does not "attack the messenger" unless in this case!
U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe says: "Any time someone gets caught doing something like this, if they can blame it on what they consider to be a minority. And they consider the right wing to be minority, even though they're wrong. If they can do that, they think they can somehow try to transfer the wrongdoing to another party in showing that they have a motivation for this to do things that are not honest."
Many Republican presidential candidates have called for his resignation, including Rick Perry who said: ""As details come to light, a larger shadow has been cast on Mr. Holder. When initially asked under oath to say when he first knew about Fast and Furious, Mr. Holder told the House Judiciary Committee on May 3, '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.'
"But the evidence casts serious doubt over that claim. First, President Obama had commented publicly on the operation, noting on March 22 - more than a month before Mr. Holder's sworn statement - that an inspector general had been assigned to investigate the matter."
Eric Holder must resign; and we must urge Congress to force that resignation!
Senator Inhofe continued to go against the Attorney General: "You can't tell me that if his deputy attorney general, his deputy chief of staff, his assistant attorney general - that they were all aware of this and that he was not! Something as high-profile as this operation, he would've known about it, and so he'd have to be lying."
"Here's a guy who told the House that he didn't know about this operation, and then we find out later that he did. So, that's essentially lying to the House and that's another reason right there to do what he did [on Tuesday at theWhite House lashing out against the reporter]."
That's right, a United States Senator called the Attorney General . . . . . A LIAR!
When the nation's top law enforcement person tells lies and stonewalls Congress, and seals investigation records, then he needs to really step down and resign!
Will you please help fax to every Member of Congress to join in this choir of clear-thinking Congressmen who have already called for his ouster?

Presidential candidate Perry continued to press the issue:
"Under the attorney general's leadership, our nation's top law enforcement agency proactively armed some of the most dangerous criminal organizations in North America, and at least one American is dead as a direct result. The damage is done to Mr. Holder's credibility is irreparable. Moreover, Mr. Holder never apologized to - or even spoke with - the family of slain Border Patrol Agent Terry until he was confronted by U.S. Senator John Cornyn, a Texas Republican, earlier this month, nearly a year after Terry's murder."
"America simply cannot tolerate an attorney general who arms the very criminals he is supposed to protect us from and then refuses to comfort the grieving parents of a slain Border Patrol agent. Nor can we tolerate a president who lacks the courage to take decisive action in restoring justice to the Department of Justice. IT IS TIME FOR MR. HOLDER TO GO!"
So let's review what Eric Holder is responsible for doing "recently:"
- He has refused to provide 11 of the 12 witnesses U.S. Senator Grassley and House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa have requested to be made available for interviews (STONEWALLING!).
- He has confronted a media journalist and has demanded that they stop calling for his resignation! How outlandish!
- He has SEALED the official records of the investigation into the murder of federal U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. (When he should have already apologized to his family!)
- TWO U.S. Senators and 52 U.S. Representatives have already called for his resignation!
Judging by his reaction to the reporter, there is much more than has been reported. Now some records are sealed which help to hide his responsibility.
Eric Holder has committed perjury before the Congressional investigation. And now he tries to blame the media.
No one is above the law, especially the Attorney General of the United States of America!
Will you join 2 U.S. Senators and 52 U.S. Representatives to request the resignation of Eric Holder?
More importantly than LYING to Congress---he is guilty of being an "Accessory to Murder!" But, my Friend, those records are now SEALED! The communications tell the story of the lies! The only thing that Holder must do is to.....RESIGN!
Eric Holder must resign! Plain and simple. How can we have the nation's top law enforcement person lying to Congress? He must be held accountable.
How many more murdered U.S. agents---or how many more murdered Mexicans---will happen due to the Fast and Furious guns?
