GOP House Rep To Megyn Kelly: We Could Have Eric Holder Arrested

Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) appeared on Fox News Channel’s America Live with Megyn Kelly on Friday where he discussed the ongoing House Republican efforts to investigate Attorney General Eric Holder’s involvement into the Fast and Furious gun walking scandal. There he revealed that the House GOP could move to have Holder arrested following a House vote on Thursday that found him in contempt of Congress.

Kelly says that she is aware of another option – that the Sargent at Arms of the House can be instructed to arrest Holder. “Are you going to do that,” asked Kelly.

“That would be fairly dramatic, but yes,” said Chaffetz. “Three options: going through the U.S. attorney, going into civil court or have the Sargent at Arms take control of the situation — which I think some people are going to say we ought to do — but we’re going to exhaust the other ones first.”

“Really,” replied Kelly.

“I find it hard and dramatic to do, but we want to get to the bottom of this,” said Chaffetz. “We’re serious about this.”

1. He must be out of his

fucking mind.

[trueblue2007]

16. Rep. Jason Chaffetz is a moron. sargent at arms does not have authority

no law gives him that power

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Oh, sweet zombie Jesus on a skateboard!

[GarroHorus]

3. What will they do when the FBI arrests the sergeant at arms if he tries to arrest Holder?

That was the threat if the last resort of a contempt charge was used against Rove, IIRC? In fact, the same idiots pushing to arrest Holder were the ones threatening that shit way back in the Bush Admin.

It's like the GOP has collectively decided that January 20, 2001 - January 20, 2009 simply didn't happen!

4. What a dumbass. nt

[Woody Woodpecker]

5. Then you will need to turn yourself in to the U.S. Marshal's office

That is tantamount to treason/sedition, Chaffetz. Be prepared to find yourself in a very deep, dark hole somewhere.

6. Joe Madison and Dick Gregory have already said if this happens they will be on Capital Hill

Protesting and expecting to be arrested Madison said on his show last week

7. Do you see it now fence sitters??

The GOP is fucking insane!! Sure we internet jockeys can blab about how we wanted Rove arrested or the freeper board blabbing about frogmarching Holder. But....this....is.....an.....actual....politician....saying.....this. Fucking insane!!!!

[Redford]

8. This could get really ugly

I have a feeling the GOP is really pissed off over the health care thing and might go for Holder.

[alcibiades_mystery]

9. They are overreaching badly on everything

Americans have had enough of their nonsense.

[yellowcanine]

10. I could be wrong but don't think the Sgt at Arms can arrest anyone outside of the House or House

offices. He can't, for example, go over to the Senate and arrest a Senator. So how in the heck can he go to Executive branch offices and arrest Holder. Holder can refuse to testify unless he is assured of not being arrested.

19. The Sergeant at Arms of the Senate can arrest anyone violating Senate rules, including the President

11. Does Holder smoke?

Doesn't matter, but he should grab a cigarette, a cup of coffee, or a bottle of water and go stand outside this assholes office a week from Tuesday. (When the hard working House members will be back.) Invite the media, and hold a press conference. Clearly explaining that the entire gun walking issue is story pushed by a worldwide disgraced news organization, via a whistle blowing employee who is the actual incompetent one, and pushed through the House by a hyper-partisan Chairman.

He should then go on to explain that the root cause of the guns flowing through the border are due to the NRA pushed policies that allow Arizonians to buy unlimited weapons and transfer them immediately to gun runners.

And if Jason Douche Chaffetz or one of the others tries to bring in the Sargent at Arms, then all of the supporters strolling the basement halls can surround Holder and escort him out.

12. We've been taken hostage but friggin' lunatics.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

13. Maybe Mittens can take his State Trooper's uniform out of storage

Otherwise, I don't anticipate any arrest being made by any legitimate law enforcement agency.

[Tx4obama]

14. LOL - thank you for the chuckle :) n/t

[cecilfirefox]

15. Yeah, I'd love to see the Sergeant At Arms walk in and try and get past the feds. I'd pay to see it!

[Quiet_Dem_Mom]

17. Holder better watch it! Chaffetz is a champeen leg wrestler!

?width=400&height=323&crop=true

Be a-feared, AG Holder!

[Proud Liberal Dem]

18. Ummmm......good luck with THAT!

But you go right on and try. Maybe it will finally wake a few more people up to the current GOP insanity!

[yellowcanine]

20. “We’re serious about this.” If you have to say it.........

You probably aren't, dumb ass.

[Generic Brad]

21. What a display of impotent rage!

Now he knows how we felt when nothing happened to Rove.
