Pres. Obama's Attorney General, Eric Holder, was found in contempt of Congress for failing to turn over documents relating to BATF's notorioius Operation Fast and Furious. 17 Democrats voted for contempt.
There were both civil and criminal citations. Holder is the first cabinet member in history found in contempt. Some Democrats charged that the charges against Holder were motivated by racism. For many ideologues on the left, anytime a black person gets in trouble and there are whites involved, it's automatically labelled "racism." I wonder if and when people are going to get tired of this knee-jerk, simple-minded charade. It's often an effective strategy to frighten off people and distract from the real issue. As was expected, Holder's DOJ later indicated it would not seek criminal prosecution. Those charged can use delaying tactics and civil contempt proceedings can drag on for months, if not years. Holder may be out of office before anything gets resolved in the courts.
