Days before the House of Representatives is scheduled to take an unprecedented vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, Obama administration officials and House Republican aides met today at the White House in an unsuccessful attempt to resolve the standoff over documents related to the Fast and Furious gunwalking operation. (Snip) At the meeting, GOP staffers from the speaker’s office and the Oversight and Government Reform committee were permitted to briefly look at about 30 pages of documents, but both sides were unable to strike an agreement to avoid the contempt vote Thursday.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I would expect nothing less from the Lame Stream Media.....
I look for The Messiah to announce an attack on Somalia or some other unfortunate country Wednesday night. That news should overshadow the contempt citation of Holder.
Wag the Weasel.
This is a Bait & Switch trap.
Good for the GOP leadership for not falling for it.......
Oh, it wasn’t the Biased ABC news media that invented this particular piece of propaganda, but they certainly are doing their part in repeating it far and wide.
It must really GALL them that most distrust them so. Poor sots. They need to smoke their weed and eat some Twinkies....
Syria?
And then someone stabs Biden with an unconfiscated spork at some fundraiser?
30 pages. “Here’s the Cliff notes”* *important details expunged.
Executive privilege does not mean executive branch privilege.
Why? Carney just said at the DPB the other day all documents had already been turned over.
Wow, the WH is still refusing to even say what documents they’re claiming are privileged- to make a ‘privilege log’!
When Isaa goes to a judge that’s the first thing the judge is going to demand from the DOJ.
It’s incompetent stonewalling to the point of crazy.
I bet Bonehead and Cantor can’t stand it. Both of them want
to “cut a deal” with Zero so badly.
Bonehead is probably crying as we speak.
It is Issa who has driven this issue. Many thanks to Issa.
“And then someone stabs Biden with an unconfiscated spork at some fundraiser?”
OMG! That made me snort soda outta my nose!
Thank you! It’s been a VERY long day, so again, THANK YOU! :)
Wow!!! 30 pages out of 140,000???? What transparency!
What are obamma and Holder hiding? Nothing they say? Well, then, show the documents!
Baghdad Bob Carney has a dark, dark soul.
“A congressional GOP aide who asked not to be identified also told ABC the offer was essentially the same as what Holder had presented Issa at the Capitol a week ago: A promise to make a compilation of documents available if the committee ends its investigation and takes contempt off the table. That offer was flatly rejected again today.”
“Republicans also asked the White House today whether it was willing to make a log available of the documents that the president would continue invoking executive privilege over, but the officials made clear that was ‘off the table,’ according to a congressional source.”
Off the table...
“Off the table...’
And under de bus!
Eric Schultz is the one who screamed and yelled at CBS's Sharyl Attkisson, who was reporting on Fast & Furious last fall.
According to Sharyl Attkisson, Eric Schultz said the Washington Post, the LA Times is reasonable, the New York Times is reasonable. I'm (CBS) the only one who thinks this is a story, and they think I'm unfair and biased by pursuing it.
Keep this in mind, folks!
