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.

Unfortunately, I am familiar with quite a few field grade California National Guard officers who would support it.
This would be made a HUGE, gigantic deal of by the media if only it was a Republican administration and AG.
Only once that I know of. Perhaps you could provide a link to show otherwise.
Beck did a show on this tonight. It is a formula used in other countries by Soros. Always involved media control and trained agitators. He had the author of Shadow party discussing the Soros pattern.
The House of Congress needs to move on Holder and bring well deserved charges against the obamanation.
——Following a contempt citation, the presiding officer of the chamber is instructed to refer the matter to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia;[9] according to the law it is the “duty” of the U.S. Attorney to refer the matter to a grand jury for action.-——
I guess they assumed the AG would not be held in contempt. Looks like a subordinate would try the case against his boss.
I knew something like this was coming when all the dems drafted papers saying Holder and Obama did nothing wrong.
I am going to Vegas this Weekend and I will ask at Ceasers if they are making odds, I got $200 to put on Holder, I do Not for a second Believe the wussy Issa has the Balls to do ANYTHING, Otherwise it would have been done by now, EVERY LAST PERSON INVOLVED WOULD BE IN PRISON FOR TREASON IN THE WAR ON DRUGS AWAITING EXECUTION if they were actually Serious.
Really. Tell it to Spiro Agnew.
Holder is dead meat and he knows it.
I get Issa totally. He has been doing the Watergate drip, drip drip. But its time to take Holder out.
!00 something have called for Holder to step down.
