As for the self proclaimed 'Prosecutors' in the original story... It appears to me that they are trying to take credit for someone else's actions. Holder would be that someone else along with the two Republican lawmakers.
Since these guys have decided they are Prosecutors how long will it be before they decide they have the power to arrest as well? Someone tried to pull a 'Citizens Arrest' on Karl Rove once and that, as it should have, went nowhere.
It is good to see Republican Congressmen wanting the DOJ restored to where it once was. It looks like things in DC are beginning to normal, and I hope that we have reached the end of the beginning on this process.

I'll bet you're not the only one that's really happy you decided to make your bones in the oil business and not the political arena! And those folks are dwarfed by the many that are ecstatic you didn't pursue a career in law or law enforcement!!!! Or rocket science! Or nuclear engineering! Or odds making!

I will check back tomorrow and provide the answer if no one spots it.
HINT: The word that show how phony this press release is at the end of a line; not at the end of a sentence.

Until then it is just another attempt to keep people stirred up.
Spotted the lie yet?
