Formal complaint seeks disbarment of Eric Holder in DC

First off many thanks to Mr. Mike Vandervoegh and Mr. David Codrea for doing something that should have been done long before now.  These two men have filed charges with the D.C. Office of Bar Counsel to investigate Eric Holder and the many things he has done that break the rules of Ethics established by the Bar Counsel for practicing law in D.C.

We have watched Holder lie to a Congressional Committee investigating the 'Fast and Furious Operation', over the CSPAN TV Network.

We have watched and read articles of how Holder presented documents to this same committee that were false.

We have watched as Holder has ignored subpoenas served to him.

And many other wrong doings, without any punishment.

So we have us a President that has spent the last 3.5 years lying his way through every day.  A man that has brought our country into the deepest debt we've ever been in and for some people a debt they could never imagine we could be in in their wildest dreams.  A man who played golf while America was making tuff decisions.  A man who brought about some of the worst Race relations this country has had since the Civil War.  A man who plays Dictator and writes his own laws while Congress does nothing to stop him.

Then we get to his Administration.  This article only deals with one of those appointees but all the rest are the same.  This article is all about his pick for Attorney General... Mr. Eric Holder.  The highest office for our legal system there is.  The person who is in chard of the Department of Justice.  The person who should be the most lawful and law abiding person in the legal field, yet, Eric Holder has proven himself to be worse than the most vile criminal found incarcerated in our penal system to date.

He's guilty of murder.  A border patrol agent, An ICE agent, and several hundred Mexican citizens.

He's guilty of dereliction of duty.  He denied citizens the right to have the New Black Panther Party brought up on charges of voter intimidation at voting places.

But here's the story from The Daily Caller:

Attorney General Eric Holder could lose his license to practice law in the District of Columbia, or face some other penalty from the D.C. Bar, now that he has been found in criminal and civil contempt of Congress.

Last week, the bloggers who first exposed Operation Fast and Furious, Mike Vanderboegh and David Codrea, filed a formal complaint with the Washington, D.C. Office of Bar Counsel alleging that Holder committed “professional misconduct” during the congressional investigation into the scandal.

Because Holder was found in contempt of Congress for his “refusal to comply with a subpoena duly issued by the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform,” Vanderboegh and Codrea contend, “[i]t would appear that several, if not all of these rules [the D.C. Bar’s rules of professional conduct], have been violated.”

Wallace “Gene” Shipp in the Office of Bar Counsel told The Daily Caller that he can’t confirm or deny the receipt of any specific complaint.

Vanderboegh and Codrea each published the complaint they jointly registered on their individual blogs “[b]ecause of the serious political ramifications involved, and because some on the Board may be sympathetic to AG Holder’s positions and hostile to those of the House contempt charges, and in order to ensure that this complaint receives proper attention and is not ignored through deliberate indifference.”

Arizona Republican Rep. Ben Quayle told TheDC he believes the D.C. Bar should investigate whether the attorney general violated its ethics code.

“I think an investigation is definitely warranted since it’s been brought to the bar’s attention,” Quayle said in a phone interview. “He has engaged in dishonesty and misrepresentation to Congress and I think it definitely warrants an investigation by the D.C. Bar.”

Quayle added that he doesn’t think Holder’s position as attorney general or his political clout should protect him from any investigation.

“He’s a member of the bar and just because he’s attorney general doesn’t make him above the law and above the bar association’s rules of professional conduct,” Quayle said. “I think his conduct in the investigation of Fast and Furious rises to the level of actually looking into whether he violated professional conduct with his conduct in the investigation.”

Even though he wouldn’t talk specifics, Shipp did walk TheDC through how his office — which “investigates and prosecutes attorney misconduct for the 97,000 members of the DC Bar” — handles such matters.

“If a complaint comes in the front door, we read it [and] then assess whether the facts set out in it could be a violation of the rules of professional conduct,” Shipp said in a phone interview. “If there’s something to them and there could be a violation, then we’ll open a confidential investigation. That investigation would then be conducted by someone in this office. We get about 1,500 of these a year.”

“We also read the newspapers and we also read all the court opinions and we read all the blogs we can and all sorts of stuff like that and we do not have to have a complaint to undertake an investigation,” Shipp continued.

“We can open one based on our observation of something that interests us. Then, once the investigation is concluded, we conclude the investigation by dismissing it … or to informally admonish or to bring charges against an attorney. Informal admonishing or bringing charges against an attorney are public – and, at that point, the matter would be public if it ever reached that stage.”

“We prosecute around 50 lawyers a year, and we do formal investigations into about 500 cases,” Shipp added.

 

Holder’s spokeswoman, Tracy Schmaler, did not return TheDC’s request for comment

Barack Obama has inadvertently found a way to keep Muslims off the plane

So finally we can get rid of the TSA.  Now we are able to fly and feel safe without having a herd of butt-lifters stinking up the place, and let's face it, an airplane is a very confined area and the air is not the fresh air one would expect when flying at 35,000 feet above sea level.

Thanks to our Department of Transportation, we now can take our medically approved 'service animals' on board with us, when we fly.  A Service Animal is one which gives assistance to people who are disabled and require the kind of assistance these animals give.  Such as, "seeing-eye" dogs.  The 'mini-horse' and a "comfort" pigs.  These animals must also be allowed into any business where the owner needs to go.           

One might ask, "So how does this keep Muslims off the plane???"   Well ya see, muzzies detest pork.  Anything with pork is a NO-NO to them.  If a pig has touched it, it's defiled ground and they can't use it.  So by having your 'service pig' with you on a plane would mean the muzzies would have to make other accomadations because they can't be on a plane with a pig sitting in the seat beside them or on the floor beneath them.  It's as bad as a Christian eating from the tree of forbidden fruit.

I've never understood the problem with having these butt-lifters building their mosque any place they want to build it.  I mean after it's built all you need to do is get some of those water balloon kits and instead of using water to fill the balloons use pig blood.  Throw the balloons on the roof and sides of the building, throw some good ole Hormel bacon around on the ground and wa-la!!  "This property condemed".  Anything with pork is like having a special force field around you and the muzzies will run for miles to avoid the pork and pork products.

And btw, they don't like dogs either.  While a dog is not as bad as a pig, they feel a dog is useless and dirty and should be killed.  OH! and they don't care for horses either.

The dumbass Obama Regime recently declared that miniature horses used as service animals must be allowed in stores, restaurants, theaters, and even on planes. I guess they weren’t counting on the Department of Transportation ruling that pot bellied pigs used for emotional support must also be granted passage on planes.

CNS News & The Right Planet (H/T Liz)  The manual is designed to “help carriers and indirect carriers and their employees/contractors that provide services or facilities to passengers with disabilities, assist those passengers in accordance with” the Air Carrier Access Act.  The DOT published its “Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in Air Travel: Draft Technical Assistance Manual” in the Federal Register on July 5, providing guidance that allows swine on airplanes if they are determined to be service animals.

Under the “Service Animal” section, the department lays out a scenario for airline carriers entitled “Example 1.” The manual states: “A passenger arrives at the gate accompanied by a pot-bellied pig. She claims that the pot-bellied pig is her service animal. What should you do?” “Generally, you must permit a passenger with a disability to be accompanied by a service animal, and pot-bellied pigs, which can weigh as much as 300 pounds, must be accepted aboard the plane.

Last November, ABC News reported that a 300-pound pot-bellied pig flew on a US Airways flight from Philadelphia to Seattle because the animal was deemed a therapeutic companion pet. (I can’t wait to see the reaction on Saudi Air and Emirates Airlines)
