It’s a start.
Mike
I ain't holding my breath.
This I gotta see. PING!
Congress holds the purse strings, Holder will find he can’t even buy a paper clip if Congress will just stick to their. ‘ehem’...guns.
Praise God, it’s about time.
yeah...you go on thinking that...
They need to go for the biggest thing first. Otherwise the media and holder and Obama will turn this into a racial lynch thing and the pubs will lose their guts. Go for removal FIRST.
Ooooooh!—That’ll scare him.
Fast and Furious; 0bama's Bloodiest Scandal and its Shameless Cover-Up.
Video interview with author/journalist Katie Pavlich.
Yes, a good start. Hopefully this will get some more attention and traction. This scandal really should make Watergate look like jaywalking.
Let them enforce it.....
House Republicans investigating the Fast and Furious scandal have gotten the go-ahead by their party leaders to pursue a contempt citation against Attorney General Eric Holder, senior congressional aides told CBS News. The resolution will accuse Holder and his Justice Department of obstructing the congressional probe into the allegations that the government let thousands of weapons fall into the hands of Mexican drug cartels.
The citation would attempt to force Holder to turn over tens of thousands of pages documents related to the probe, which has entered its second year.
For months, congressional Republicans probing ATF's Fast and Furious "Gunwalker" scandal - led by California Republican Darrell Issa, have been investigating a contempt citation.
Good play, imho. Racist charges won't play well. 1)It's a stretch to try to attach racism to this. 2) this cover up is a BFD
Oh wait, they're "preparing", I'll wait till I see Holder in the dock.
the Oversight Committee's contempt resolution would eventually have a full House vote and, if passed, Congress could seek enforcement through federal courts.

Furious Subpoena Deadline [Mar 13, 2012]
"The Justice Department's request for additional time has, unfortunately, not been followed by efforts to bridge the significant differences between its legal obligation to Congress and the reality of its stonewalling,"
"The committee is determined to know what happened in Operation Fast and Furious and how the Justice Department responded when it was publicly confronted with evidence of reckless conduct after Agent Terry's death.
If the Justice Department cannot commit to providing, at a minimum, a detailed description of documents it is withholding, and the legal basis for doing so, then the committee has no other option than to move forward with the contempt process against Attorney General Holder."

Is that going to be Holder's next trick?
