It's official: Perjury isn't a crime.

Holder should be on tv, because he's just playing the part of AG. Looks great in a suit, though!

I am wondering out of all the choices for a real Attorney General.....why did Obama choose Holder....? Was it because of Holders previous work with in the Bush Administration....and what the hell is this obsessive love affair between the Obama Administration and the Cheney/Bush Administration....? (Makes you wonder.."two peas in the pod"?) No wonder "the people" don't trust government....no one in "Government" has been held accountable since Richard Nixon...but the God Damned police will crack heads and tax people to death for "dissent", even just peaceful assembly (our Constitutional "right")..what a country we have let these people create (for us)

So the Dems don't prosecute obvious perjury of Republicans.

The Dems don't Censure an overt and flagrant disrespect of the President by a Republican House member.

So basically the Dems roll-over-and-play-dead Every time Republicans abuse their positions. Oh and Harry Reid agrees with everything the Repugs say about Co-ops and against the PO.

So why have I worked my butt off to get the Dems elected?

The short of it; Schlozman's one of us, and we don't prosecute us these days.

Join me in asking AG Holder if lying to congress is now an acceptable practice:

askDOJ@usdoj.gov

Didn't Schlotzman get a TV gig, playing a genie in a Cox Communications commercial? The voice sure sounds right... and the little genie looks just like him!

The next time you hear Obama or Holder refer to the "rule of law" or, "we are a nation of laws" you can laugh along with me.

chard,

they better be careful it doesn't backfire. They motivated people to elect Obama but once in office he's disappointing a lot of people, kind of dis-motivating (is that a word?)

Well, it's official. Schlozman didn't lie. Now I know that you folks don't want to believe it. But you're basically in denial.

Just to toot my own horn here. I have written what I think is the only serious analysis of why Schlozman's testimony is not perjury.

And I predicted that Holder's DOJ would not prosecute Schlozman.

So I'm sticking by my analysis. It is one thing to be a sleazy government official. It is another thing to lie under oath. Schlozman may have been a slimy political hack, but he told the truth to Congress. Or, at the very least, nobody could prove or was even willing to try to prove, that he lied.

But for everyone jumping up and down screaming about Schlozman-the-liar (that includes you Senator Schumer), nobody is willing to look at his actual testimony and explain where it is he committed the crime of perjury. That, to me, is just a bunch of blow-hards blowing hot air. If you think he committed perjury, then prove it. Obviously, six career prosecutors and a second independent DOJ review couldn't find enough meat there to proceed. If you can do better, then do it.
