Obama and Holder Justice Department faces a high bar charging Ferguson Police Officer Wilson in death of Michael Brown if a local grand jury sees a “righteous kill” — But what will happen if Obama and Holder don’t see it that way ? — Locally, we can ask Congressman Michael Grimm

If the St. Louis County grand jury does not indict Officer Wilson, where is the proper federal jurisdiction in this case  —  even given the premature investigations and commentary in this case by high federal “authorities,” like Holder and Obama ?

In spite of the cynical and patently biased remarks by President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder in connection with the shooting of a physically threatening suspect, who allegedly attacked a police officer in Ferguson, Mo. —  the racially insensitive chief executive of this country and his even more inflammatory chief law enforcement officer might have their hands tied by the law  —  if not, it’s up to The Tea Party and other Republicans in Congress to tie them up quickly

If Obama and Holder are foolish enough to say, “Jurisdiction? We don’t need no stinkin’ jurisdiction !”  —   Congress needs to push back, quickly investigate the matter and defund Holder, IMMEDIATELY —  Just like Governors Perry and Walker have done at a state level to the [mad] dog Democrats in their home states

IMPEACHMENT of both Holder and Obama must be on the table  —  And damn the consultants, damn Boehner and damn Grimm if they don’t do it !

According to the Chicago Tribune, “...U.S. government prosecutors investigating the fatal police shooting of a black teenager that sparked a Missouri city's nights of rage face an uphill fight delivering the swift or sweeping results demanded by rights activists.... ***  What makes it difficult for the U.S. Justice Department to prosecute local police for criminal civil rights violations, even when a death results, is the high bar of proving an officer's intent to violate civil rights.... *** ‘The government has to show that the police officer acted with specific intent to use more force than was reasonably necessary under the circumstances. You can't prosecute a police officer for making a mistake or even for a lack of judgment,’ said William Yeomans, a former acting head of the Civil Rights Division.” (See  “U.S. government faces high bar charging cop in Ferguson death” by  Julia Edwards & David Ingram, 8/21/14, Chicago Tribune/ Reuters [http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/sns-rt-us-usa-missouri-shooting-civilrights-20140821-story.html]).  However, the Chi-Tribune writers, Julian Edwards and David Ingram also noted this:  “Protesters have called for the arrest of Officer Darren Wilson since the killing of Michael Brown, 18, in Ferguson on Aug. 9. Defenders of the white officer say he acted lawfully to defend himself during a confrontation with Brown. ***  U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder answered calls for an independent investigation this week, putting some 40 FBI agents along with prosecutors in his Justice Department's Civil Rights Division on the case despite the legal challenges....”  The piece by Messrs. Edwards and Ingram also gives a lengthy catalogue of federal civil rights cases brought against police officers to demonstrate how difficult it is to get such charges off the ground and to stand up throughout the whole process.

WHAT IF HOLDER AND OBAMA ACT ANYWAY ?

Given their prior mutually supporting history of lawlessness and a complete lack of respect for any limitations on their powers in other matters, right thinking Americans would be very wise to be openly vigilant of both Obama and Holder concerning their handling of all matters coming out of Ferguson, Missouri.

Good active Republicans need to tell their congressional representatives that a proper exercise of their duties to defend the U.S. Constitution means several things: quick congressional oversight of any apparent improper acts by the executive; immediate wielding of their power over the purse; and, if apparent “high crimes and misdemeanors” have occurred, empaneling a Select House Impeachment Committee. That’s how to yank the leash on a pair of ruthless cynics like Obama and Holder.

Certain elected Republicans, like the Brooklyn-Staten Island Republican-Conservative Representative Michael Grimm and the Republican Speaker of the House, John Boehner, seem have no stomach for that. They are listening to their paid consultants, who haven’t been elected by anybody; and are who actually paid by the big donors to the GOP that have vested interests in keeping things the way that they are between Obama and the Congress. If Holder and Obama, again act improperly in carrying out their official duties, and if our elected congressional representatives do not act decisively and with determination to carry out their constitutional oaths and duties, THEN DAMN THEM ALL AND THE DEVIL TAKE THE HINDMOST “be they the’rs or ’urs” ! ! !
