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

53,000 Dead Voters Found in Florida

53,000 Dead Voters Found in Florida

May 16, 2012 - 5:03 pm - by J. Christian Adams

I have learned that Florida election officials are set to announce that the secretary of state has discovered and purged up to 53,000 dead voters from the voter rolls in Florida.

How could 53,000 dead voters have sat on the polls for so long?  Simple. Because Florida hadn’t been using the best available data revealing which voters have died.  Florida is now using the nationwide Social Security Death Index for determining which voters should be purged because they have died.

Here is the bad news.  Most states aren’t using the same database that Florida is.  In fact, I have heard reports that some election officials won’t even remove voters even when they are presented with a death certificate.  That means that voter rolls across the nation still are filled with dead voters, even if Florida is leading the way in detecting and removing them.  [emphasis mine]

But surely people aren’t voting in the names of dead voters, the voter fraud deniers argue.  Wrong.

Keaton

Consider the case of Lafayette Keaton.  Keaton not only voted for a dead person in Oregon, he voted for his dead son.  Making Keaton’s fraud easier was Oregon’s vote by mail scheme, which has opened up gaping holes in the integrity of elections.  The incident in Oregon just scratches the surface of the problem.  Massachusetts and Mississippi are but two other examples of the dead rising on election day.

Florida should be applauded for taking the problem seriously, even if Eric Holder’s Justice Department and many state election officials don’t.

House report urges Justice Dept. to cut ties with CAIR

I wish I knew what it would take to get the people of America to open their eyes and get on board about the Muslim movement.  As I talk with people about this false belief system and how it's trying to strip Americans of their freedoms and rights, I'm just totally amazed with the response I get back.  People are more concerned with the trillions of dollars of debt we're in.  They're worried about how high the gas prices are.  They're worried about the up coming elections.  They're worried about things that won't be a problem when the Muslims get their Sharia law into our judicial system.  The problems we are now 'concerned' about won't mean a thing.

But people have heard of 'religion' for so long and about all the religions there are, they no longer want to hear about that sort of 'stuff'.  More people are giving up on God (Jehovah) because they haven't seen Him or heard Him and therefore He just doesn't exist.  {Talk about some people being surprised when the last chapter comes to completion.}

A couple of things that should be understood is that 1) Islam is NOT a religion, it's a theocracy/political ideaology.  2) Islam is NOT a race.  And yet, the administration of this Country bows to the law suits and whinning these people do in regards to their civil rights being violated or their religious views being attacked.  They have NO grounds for any of these complaints, legally, but our President and his administration gives them a platform for their complaining.

So low and behold, who is it that these Muslims go to when they want their civil rights restored and the attacks on Islam stopped?  A group called CAIR.  That would be the Council on American Islamic Relations.  From the title of this group one would think it's an organization that mediates between the Muslims and the American Government.  Actually it's an organization that takes money and sends it to terrorists groups to support their efforts in taking over America as well as the whole world.

Read what follows and be thankful that at least some government officials are on our side.  This Muslim movement has to be stopped and the sooner the better.  A real tradjedy happening right now in our United States is in New Jersey.  It seems Gov. Chris Christie is giving in to these people and has appointed some of these terrorists into his administration.  Just as Obama has appointed several into his.

House report urges Justice Dept. to cut ties with CAIR

 

By Caroline May

 

 

 

The Department of Justice is being encouraged to follow in the footsteps of the FBI in cutting off all non-investigative ties to the country’s largest Muslim advocacy organization, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). 

The Fiscal Year 2013 Commerce, Justice, Science Appropriations Bill, which passed the House on Wednesday, contains in its Committee Report (a separate public document that spells out how agencies are expected to spend the money allocated to them) a recommendation that Attorney General Eric Holder follow in the FBI’s footsteps and sever ties with CAIR:

Liaison partnerships.—The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in a case in which the Holy Land Foundation was found guilty of material support of a terrorist organization. The committee acknowledges the attorney general’s refusal to attend certain meetings knowing that CAIR officials would be present, as indicated in testimony before the committee on February 28, 2012. The committee understands that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has an existing policy prohibiting its employees from engaging in any formal non-investigative cooperation with CAIR. The committee encourages the attorney general to adopt a similar policy for all department officials.

In January 2009, the FBI ended its relationship with CAIR and its affiliates across the country due to the conviction of those involved in the Holy Land Foundation terrorist funding trial, in which CAIR was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator.

Virginia Republican Rep. Frank Wolf, the bill’s sponsor, explained to The Daily Caller that with the FBI’s policy already in place it makes sense for DOJ to follow suit.

“The FBI has that policy now, and I think it’s a good policy — they were an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation case. We also commend the attorney general for not meeting with them,” Wolf said. “We think it ought to be a policy. If the FBI has that policy, I think the entire Justice Department should have it.”

The DOJ declined to comment about the recommendation, though Wolf explained that they will likely apply the policy. (RELATED: Full coverage of the Justice Department)

“I expect they will comply [with the recommendation],” Wolf said. “I’d be surprised if they didn’t comply.”

The committee report went on to advise the FBI that they adopt similar policies with other groups associated with terrorism:

Liaison partnerships.—The committee supports the FBI’s policy prohibiting any formal non-investigative cooperation with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), and continues to expect the FBI to report to the committee regarding any violations of this policy. The committee also encourages the FBI to adopt similar policies, where appropriate, with regard to other individuals and organizations identified as unindicted co-conspirators in terrorism-related cases.

The appropriations bill funds the Department of Commerce, Department of Justice, NASA, National Science Foundation and related agencies for the coming fiscal year, with an amount totaling $51.1 billion.

CAIR did not respond to TheDC’s request for comment.
