The head of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is threatening to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress if he fails to comply with congressional subpoenas for documents.
Holder has until Feb. 9 to comply.
In a four-page letter to Holder, Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., claims the Department of Justice has "misrepresented facts and misled Congress," which began its investigation of Operation Fast and Furious one year ago.
Issa claims Holder's "actions lead us to conclude that the department is actively engaged in a cover-up" because it refuses to comply with previous subpoenas.
"If the department continues to obstruct the congressional inquiry by not providing documents and information, this committee will have no alternative but to move forward with proceedings to hold you in contempt of Congress," Issa warned in the letter.
Issa claims the the Justice Department has stonewalled the congressional investigation of the gun-running scandal that sent some 2,000 weapons to the Mexican cartels with the assistance of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Obama will pull something and the media will not call him on it. He may promote Holder to VP, tell Biden to take a long hike on a short pier, then he won’t be subject to House investigation because he will be president of the senate.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Dastardly. Occupiers turning violent in order to give Obama reason to declare martial law.
Its about time Issa started playing hardball. Glad to hear it.
I agree with you, one hundred percent. I know people think it's smart to predict that the apocalypse is about to descend on us, but it's going to take some time before it comes to that juncture.
Amendment 25 - Presidential Disability and Succession. Ratified 2/10/1967.I'm sure a Republican-majority House is going to rubber stamp that! </sarcasm>
- In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.
- Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.
F & F Ping
Yes. holder is contemptible. What else is new?
I know that. YOU know that. But I am not convinced that Obama does.
Point worth noting IMO.
“Holder has until Feb. 9 to comply.”
Why give him more time? Make Holder comply by this Thursday!
Contempt of Congress - this simply needs to be done and on the record.
“One little pesky problem with martial law is someone must enforce it. Who would that be?”
You don’t know the answer to that question? Let me inform you. Martial law will be enforced by:
1. The fat welfare momma brigade, if the jaws of life can pull their pudgy hands from the one-pounder chip bags.
2. The ghetto sharpshooters who hold their glocks sideways.
3. The 20 IQ black pampers who will descend from Farrakhan’s mothership in fairy godmother gossamer wings, sprinkling crackers dust on all the honkies.
