| Holder faces battle with Congress. |
"This unprecedented action is unwarranted and, quite frankly, nothing more than an attempt to distract and prevent him from continuing to enforce the nation's civil and voting rights laws," said Shelton in an email earlier today. "Please call your representatives now..."
Shelton said that her organization, "...supports accountability and transparency at every level. However, this crusade in Congress reeks of partisan politics."
The Congressional action is being undertaken because Holder has not turned over all documents asked for in relation to the Justice Department's involvement in the "Fast and Furious" program. "Fast and Furious" is detailed in a 2012 book written by Katie Pavlich entitled "Fast and Furious" Barack Obama's Bloodiest Scandal and the Shameless Cover-Up."

According to the NAACP, Holder has already turned over "thousands of pages of documents about the program and testified on the issue eight times in the past eighteen months."
Some people believe that if the flack over this incident is not
resolved, it could affect the 2012 presidential election. Obama has asserted executive privilege over the probe into the case.
Eric H. Holder, Jr. became the 82nd Attorney General of the United States on February 3, 2009 when he was sworn in by Vice President Joe Biden. Before that, Holder was a litigation partner at Covington & Burling LLP in Washington. He lives in D.C. with his wife, Dr. Sharon Malone, and their three children.

George Calhoun says: Republicans rage on about one border guard who died, unfortunately, but say nothing about the thousands killed and maimed in the lie that was the Iraq war. Gutter politics, anything to damage Obama! Please pay attention this year electorate!
