Rep.
Tom Marino (R-Pa.) in a Thursday radio interview revealed he is exploring the potential options that would allow Congress
to file civil or criminal charges against members of the Obama administration
and even President Barack Obama himself.
Citing
the Obama administration’s delay in the implementation of the employer mandate
found in “Obamacare,” Marino told radio host David Madeira that the president
continues to show a disregard for the law. He also argued Attorney General Eric
Holder is never going to hold the Obama administration accountable.
“If
the chief law enforcer of the country [Holder] will not enforce the law,” said
Marino, “and the president decides to break the law because he doesn’t like it,
there has to be another mechanism by which we in Congress can … see if there
are criminal charges we can file.”
Marino
is looking to “investigate, identify and prosecute people within the
administration, up to and including the president if it comes to that,” according to Sarah Wolf, Marino’s spokeswoman.

from the Huffington Post:
While
Marino is a longtime critic of Obama, he maintained that his cry for legal
action stemmed not from personal distaste for the president but from a greater
respect for the nation’s well being. “We’re beyond the point of showing that
he’s incompetent,” Marino said. “He really doesn’t care about where this
country is going unless it’s his plan, so we have to step up.”
The
congressman likened Obama’s action to the Watergate scandal, suggesting that a
special committee should be established to subpoena and investigate the
individuals involved. More specifically, he said, he seeks to find “a part of a
statute that says we have the authority to indict.”
In
the same interview, Marino said he is planning a “brainstorming session” with
some former prosecutors in Congress about the potential legal measures that can
be taken against the Obama administration.
He
claims he is not alone in his desire to bring criminal charges against the
White House.

If you don't act quick the American people will be under Martial Law and you wouldn't be able to help too much!
