Eric Holder Likely To Be Impeached, Texas Congressman Files Articles Of Impeachment The movement to impeach Attorney General Eric Holder continues to gain support each day. It seems like every time we turn around there is a new scandal, ranging from his refusal to cooperate with Congress to his inability to enforce federal law. Now, even as he is being held in contempt of Congress, he has not shied away from bending over backwards to support the Obama administration. Members of both houses of Congress have now called for Holders removal, and a new House bill detailing the Articles of Impeachment has already received 27 cosponsors. Breitbart recently published this statement from Representative Pete Olson: For over five years, Mr. Holder has systematically deceived Congress and destroyed the credibility of the Justice Department in the eyes of the American people. Sadly, he continues to act in a manner unbefitting of a cabinet official. He has failed to perform his constitutional duties and violated the law on numerous occasions. The House of Representatives cannot stand by as he continues to undermine the office of Attorney General. He must be held accountable. Refusing to cooperate with or investigate scandals like Fast and Furious, failure to enforce current laws, the IRS scandal, possibly committing perjury in denying a role in a DOJ operation to confiscate emails from a reporter and his family, and the crisis that escalates daily on our southern border are all actions that clearly fall under high crimes and misdemeanors. These are offenses that the Constitution explicitly defines as grounds for removal of a Senate-confirmed cabinet official through impeachment. There are 27 cosponsors of H. Res. 411, my Articles of Impeachment against Holder. I continue to make the case to my colleagues for why its past time for the House to impeach Eric Holder and hold the Obama Administration to the standards set forth in the Constitution. Mr. Holder has grossly undermined the authority and credibility of the Justice Department to the point that it can no longer be trusted by the American people to enforce the laws of the United States and uphold the US Constitution. As chief law enforcement officer for this country, Holder has failed to ensure that the laws are faithfully executed, and he does not represent the honor expected of a Cabinet official. The American people deserve answers and accountability. The time has come for the House to exercise our constitutional duty and impeach Attorney General Eric Holder. What do you think? Is it time for Holder to be impeached?
