Top Of the Justice Department accused of criminal behavior.
Just the start of many in this administration. Obama appointed Czars because their background could not pass muster with approval by congress.

If all the Republicans on the committee, the majority, vote to for contempt, then Holder will be held in contempt?

Boehner votes no. He needs to be dumped as speaker in January.

Holder will ignore this just like he ignores everything Congress asks him to do.

This is all great and fine, but I see another set up coming.
The repubs follow the laws and guidelines and the dimrats just thumb their nose at the law.
Clinton was impeached in the repub house, but the dim house ignored the whole event.
IF holder is held in contempt, he will just ignore it and run out the clock. That puts the repubs in the position to enforce the law against a black dimocrat official.

oh yeah like that’s going to happen.

the House Oversight Committee will vote next week on whether to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress

Why wait a week?

Contempt ping...

This time, the dispute stems from Holder failing to turn over documents subpoenaed on October 12, 2011 in the Fast and Furious "gunwalking" investigation.

Issa says the Justice Department can still put a stop to the contempt process at any time by turning over the subpoenaed documents.

Now 8 months after the original subpoena, Holder will no doubt stall for more time by throwing some documents at Issa to stop the contempt vote.

What is the Dem/Rep makeup of the committee? Seems I’ve heard repubs are the majority. Is it just a majority vote or is some super majority needed to move this forward?

Given Holder’s clear and obvious obstruction, I wonder who is gonna vote against moving forward and under what premise. There had better not be any repubs holding this back for any reason.

It’s about time. I hope there are enough courageous people in the House to follow through with this.
