House repubs call on DOJ to investigate Corzine for perjury (Congress, attorney)

Ball is in Holders court now even though it should have never left his glove in the first place. I won't hold my breath waiting for an investigation. Corzine gave way too much money to Obama.

A group of House Republicans has called for a criminal investigation into whether Jon Corzine, a former Democratic governor and senator from New Jersey, lied before Congress in 2011.
In a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder on Friday, the 18 lawmakers said that new evidence revealed in a civil case against Corzine contradicts his congressional testimony and may indicate he committed perjury.
"It is outrageous and unacceptable to let this discrepancy go without a formal criminal investigation," Rep. Michael Grimm (R-N.Y.), the lead signatory of the letter, said in a statement. "Mr. Corzine has a duty to be honest with the customers from whom he stole money as well as the Members of Congress to whom he testified. Any refusal to move forward with an investigation would be a gross injustice.”

Wow, with all the crap, bailouts, and looting that's gone on on Wall Street the only two CEOs to be charged with fraud will have been Martha Stewart and Jon Corzine - while Republicans block any attempts to hold their corporate Wall Street sugar daddies accountable. Corzine is a crook but he's just the tip of the iceberg that Republicans don't want to investigate. Republicans only have outrage and demand investigations when it gives them political points.

So Corzine should be allowed to walk in your eyes? Republicans are supposed to be doing the investigating? Last I knew the DOJ had that authority. Republicans sent a letter to them saying hey this guy is a liar and you go on some rant about republicans? LOL

I want to see Clapper and Keith Alexander brought up for perjury.."We're not collecting data on American citizens".
I want to see Lerner brought up for perjury (she testified multiple times before evidence was uncovered that caused her to choke up with the 5th).

This is fine and should be done but why no call for charges against Blankfein?

I think it's only fair that Corzine should lead the investigation into Corzine.
What's good enough for Holder, the NSA, the IRS and the State Department is surely good enough for Corzine.
