ABC News spent all of 30 seconds on the first cabinet member to ever be held in contempt:

Shocking right? I mean the there is no MSM bias right?
Imagine if this had happened during Bush's tenure....the media ran non-stop stories about the desk jockey at the CIA getting outed but the Attorney General of the United States being held in criminal and civil contempt? Yawn.
Pathetic.
The House of Representatives voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress Thursday for failing to provide documents relating to the Fast and Furious gunwalking program.The House took two votes, one on criminal contempt charges, which passed 255-67. The criminal contempt of Congress is likely not to go anywhere as the Justice Department, which Holder heads, is the department responsible for opening a criminal investigation.
The second charge, which passed 258 – 95, was a civil contempt charge, could move to federal court where it could take years to litigate. Though the action puts more pressure on the administration to abide by the subpoenas and provide requested documents.
Meanwhile, meet the 17 Democrats who voted with Republicans:

Romneys counselors are being studious and circumspect.
You all should now I’m a Palinista.
But, Ive been impressed so far at how they’ve handled stuff; aggressive but not offensive.
Witholder is a special high-value target who obama chose to chain himself to.
A lot of hay can be made here if played right...

And thie OJ Juror wannabes in the Professional Black Racists threw a tantrum and walked out on history. I guess because Jaime Zapata was a “white Hispanic” and Brian Terry was just another white boy to them. Damn commie pigs! I hate those bottom feeding bass turds.
Very good point. I believe Chairman Issa stated today that his committee would be continuing the investigation. The criminal contempt citation doesn't have to be referred to the Justice Department immediately, but it does make any possible future destruction of records a much more serious issue. It is quite likely that if it is held for a new administration, the new AG would want an independent persecutor to avoid political implications.
These things normally take a long time to resolve. Look at the Roger Clemens affair. He testified before Congress in February of 2008 and the case wasn't completed until recently.
“Statute of limitations? LOL On Jan 21 2013, President Romney’s new AG could take action against Holder, could he not?”
Dubya did nothing about all of the Clinton cartel corruption that preceded him, so what makes anyone think Romney would go after the Obamination’s stains left on our republic?
Bush was a conservative patriot compared to Romney.
Does anyone think Romney, if elected, will actually perform according to his newfound conservative blabber?
