   Not sure why a congressional review cannot look into Justice Department misfeasance in this matter.

   What’s a little corruption between congressmen and friends and cronies in the Justice Department? It’s not like they’re protesting the health care bill or anything like that.

   Reason 2,496 to gain control of one of the Houses of Congress. The instant that happens, Holder will be standing tall in front of an oversight committee with his files compelled to justify his actions in these cases.

   You may recall that he was forced to step down from the House Ethics Committee four years ago in the wake of publicity over his shoddy financial disclosure forms and a National Legal and Policy Center complaint documenting shady real estate dealings.

   I don’t get it, why would he have to step down? That’s a great resume enhancer for any ethics committee if you ask me. I mean, how would you recognize unethical behavior if you don’t participate?

   The committee chairmen are Democrats and they have stonewalled every attempt by Republicans to investigate these matters.

   This reminds me of the way the liberals treated Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950′s. The corruption is so entrenched that it’s hard to see anyone putting an end to it!

   Who investigates Congress? The Justice Department? When two of three branches of government are corrupt or incompetent what is the recourse?

    Good question.

    Really?!?!?! Republicans will do that? I’ll believe it when it happens. The corruptocracy will continue to be a bipartisan national sport unless we clean up the GOP first.

    The Justice Department has shuttered its nearly four-year investigation into the personal finances of Rep. Alan Mollohan (D-W.Va.), freeing the 14-term lawmaker to pursue what could be a tough bid for reelection without the lingering cloud of a federal criminal probe racketeering conviction.

    Fixed.

    With people like those working “for” the country, why would we ever NEED any enemies? Seems like they’re ushering in the demise of the country just fine on their own.

    The frightening fact is that if the investigation is 4 years old, then this piece of trash has won re-election at least twice already while under investigation!

    I don’t expect much from West Virginia but they don’t have to prove it every day!

    There is absolutely nothing we can do, folks, until we rid our government of the corruption…ALL corruption, both dems and repubs. Until then, they will just continue to get away with it. What can we do about it? They have the power…for now!! But revenge will be sweet!

    The BAR association would investigate and punish Holder and his ilk for their actions. It would be nice if this organization ever collectively decided to get rid of those who shame the profession.

    …I know…I know…I can’t stop laughing either.

    If the Attorney General is found lacking, it is up to the Hous Judiciary and Senate Judiciary committees to rectify the problem. They are both controled by Democrats. Any Questions?

    all of them are afraid to point the finger at any except the most egregious offenders, lest that glass houses anecdote come into effect. if you want to fix congress, get rid of the d.c. building, make all of them stay in their district and vote by email. that way, lobbyists can’t influence them in far off d.c., they can’t organize junkets or trade favors without phone records etc. now the people are the biggest lobbyists, cause they can go in and put their hands around these weasels necks every day.
