Republican Teabaggers were almost giddy in their triumphalism a few days ago, after they conned the rest of the United States House of Representatives into citing Attorney-General Eric Holder for “contempt of Congress.” It was, of course, just political theater. What displeased the Teabaggers was that Holder refused to release a number of files to a congressional committee concerning the so-called “Fast and Furious” scandal.
Holder was right to refuse to share those documents. A number of criminal investigations were still ongoing and sharing top-secret information on those investigations would almost certainly have resulted in some of those puppet political prostitutes sharing this crucial information with their financial masters — the Top One Percent — and jeopardizing the investigations.
That is not to say, however, that Attorney-General Holder does not deserve to face justice for his actual wrongdoings. In essence, both Holder and United States President Barack Obama should both be facing felony criminal charges for steadfastly refusing to prosecute thousands of Amerikkkan mega-millionaire and billionaire serial felons in the banking industry — as should their counterparts in Canada, the United Kingdom and several other European countries.
