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.

I liked to think it couldn’t happen, but look at ruby ridge and Waco. Look at how many people (including LE and military officers) are covering for zero.
Interesting that you responded to my sarcasm with your own.
Apparently you think I’m not too bright. It was meant as a joke.
thanx
i think August or October would be a better time, but it needs to be a slam dunk.
Do you have any idea why Issa has not followed through on Holder, it seems he has plenty of evidence?
Holder will never go to jail and will laugh at the contempt charge, this no longer is a nation of laws its a nation of who you know...
Issa is nuthin but a racist cracka, and all ya’ll know whut ah’m talking bout. O-snap!
What a coincidence, I hold the AG in contempt, too..
