Eric Holder charged with contempt -- what's next?

Jeez....this makes me hopeful.....NOT.....

If Holder is found in contempt, then the House could refer the contempt charge to the U.S. District Attorney of the District of Columbia, Ronald Machen Jr.

Referring Holder’s contempt charge to Machen could raise serious concerns, as Machen is both a part of the Justice Department under Holder and was a longtime backer of President Barack Obama. Machen was an early supporter of Obama’s presidential campaign and donated over $5,000 to Obama directly or indirectly before being appointed by the administration in 2009.

Machen also happens to be one of two prosecutors that have been appointed to head a probe into recent leaks of classified information from the White House.
