The House Oversight Committee has just passed a Resolution holding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt for not releasing Fast and Furious documents.
The contempt charge now goes to the entire House for a vote on holding Holder in contempt before it is sent to prosecution.
The committee even passed an amendment with many reasons why Obama's executive privilege is not valid
The Committee hearing was very interesting. The Democrats, like Reps Towns and Rep Norton, tried to say that the Committee should give more time to Eric Holder because Holder is willing to work with the committee to release some documents.
The Committee Chairman, Rep Issa, made clear that the Committee had given plenty of time to Holder and has been very lenient and even had staff stay up all night waiting for the documents. Issa said that no one is above the law.
The Committee meeting was very long and there were many arguments back and forth. Below are some of the highlights from the meeting: Congressman Chaffets quotes President Obama from when Obama first got into office about transparency. Chaffets quoted Obama from when Obama said that his administration would be completely transparent and would allow freedom of information requests even when the information requested might be embarrassing.
Chaffets said we have thousands of guns given to drug cartels. We have hundreds of people dead across the border. We have a US Border Patrol Agent dead.

Promoting your own site by subterfuge. What a dirtbag.
0bama and Holder are going to make
Nixon and Watergate look like
a boy scout outing.
co-conspirators.
The NRA has said they will be scoring reps on their vote for contempt against Eric Holder. This will get interesting for those blue dogs that need the NRA’s support this year, particularly in pro gun states like Pennsylvania.
I couldn’t care less how many sockpuppets he has or how many duplicate posts there are for specific stories, I come here to read news - not petty and personal attacks.
They are all COMMUNISTS, every one.
They have no respect for anything - law, morality, common decency - other than the advancement of their leftist/communist agenda.
Investigators discover I.C.E. Report of Investigation on seizure of Fast & Furious
I agree. Some people like to Barney Fifes...
"...hmmmm nice scoop there HG, shall we release the full fury of the brigade?"
And to feed the blatant self-promotion of some schmuck with a blog who recycles a story from somewhere without any accountability.
You go ahead there, Mr. Sassy pants.
When the going gets dirtbag, the dirtbags become pro.
They’re just misunderstood./s
If it would further their agenda I bet every bit of information would be handed over in a New York minute.
Rush explained it today, that *****initially****** this was a gun-grab move, they expected their predicted clinical trial run aftermath to be the citizenry calling for more gun-control.
I guess someone leaked the memo early and made zero Gun Salesman of The Month for 3 years running.

Not only is this to a blog, the headline is very misleading. Eric Holder is NOT in contempt, yet. The vote for contempt requires a vote of the full House. Meanwhile, FR has this misleading headline as “Breaking News”.
The Admin should strike this and choose a better deserving and accurate news source.
