Eric Holder has arrogantly behaved like he’s above the law, which is particularly despicable since he runs the Department of Justice. Well, judging by Peter King’s latest comments, there are at least a few Republicans who seem willing to hold him and his corrupt boss accountable.

Rep. Peter King says Attorney General Eric Holder’s initial denial of involvement in the targeting of Fox News reporter James Rosen “could be perjury.”

…King, a Republican from New York, was highly critical of Holder, who previously said he would never be part of targeting a reporter and didn’t think it was good policy, when he actually approved a search warrant on James Rosen. The House Judiciary Committee is reportedly looking into whether he perjured himself in steadfastly denying a role in the Rosen subpoena when he OK’d the seizure of the Fox reporter’s phone records.

King comments: “To me, on its face, that certainly could be perjury. And the reason I’m saying ‘could be’ — I know there’s always precise standards to meet — that certainly warrants a full investigation as to whether or not perjury was committed there. There’ve been other people over the years indicted for perjury or tried for perjury on a lot less evidence than that.”

If any Republican had lied to Congress as blatantly as Eric Holder did, you can be sure he’d face perjury charges. Eric Holder should face the same fate before he’s kicked under the bus by Obama and fired for his dishonesty, incompetence and lawbreaking.
