Contempt of Congress case against Holder will proceed. Just Congress? This guy’s in contempt of the whole entire United States of America, as is his boss. However:
“The suit is in his official capacity so I think the new AG whoever that is will be substituted as defendant in the suit under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. It should have no bearing on his departure or his life after his service as AG,” said Stanley M. Brand, a former general counsel to the House who specializes in defending witnesses facing government investigations.
In our opinion it appears that Holder is weaseling out while the weaseling is good. That in itself is contemptible.
