Issa, Boehner at odds over holding Holder in contempt of Congress

House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa has drafted a 48-page contempt of Congress citation for Attorney General Eric Holder over Operation Fast and Furious. It now appears Issa is currently moving forward without the support of House Speaker John Boehner.

Holder’s Department of Justice has provided only about 7,000 pages worth of the more than 70,000 pages of documents Issa has subpoenaed related to Operation Fast and Furious.

Issa and many others on Capitol Hill have threatened for months that they’ll hold Holder in contempt without actually doing it. This 48-page contempt citation is the first official step in moving forward with contempt proceedings.

To actually effectively hold Holder in contempt, Issa would need House GOP leadership to play ball. At this point, it appears as though House Speaker John Boehner is only partially in his court.

Boehner is a sapinless pussy and apparently an AVID Obama supporter! SPIT!

Boy . . . I tell ya' this jackass has to go. I'm so fed up with this jerk being afraid to tell Obama to go to hell with funding Planned Predators, de-funding Obamacare, and now refusing to let this go through. How in the hell do we get rid of this worthless, useless, spineless ba$tard?

[george76]

Boehner has not called for Holder’s resignation, nor has he been vocal about Fast and Furious save for a few times saying he backed Issa’s push for accountability

Boner is a useless RINO and needs to be removed from office ASAP

[paul51]

Unfortunately boehner understands it will accomplish nothing at all except give the dims and the administration something else to call the GOP racist over.

[who knows what evil?]

Boner doesn’t want to lose any of his beloved golf partners...

"How in the hell do we get rid of this worthless, useless, spineless ba$tard?"

Damn! Watch Out!

If Boehner should happen to see this sort of comment, you know-the tears thing.

[ColdOne]

WTF? FUJB! So his true colors (Bohner) continue to show. He is way worse than a RINO!

[RitaOK]

Boehner is all you said, quite content to an Obama win in November so long as he can retain his own career and enriched retirement.

What a slug.

[traditional1]

As always, in the case of finding complicity in un-lawful engagements, the use of the “National Security Issues” as a Defense will be invoked, and the contemptable Democrats will walk free. It happens EVERY time.

[cuban leaf]

Boehner is apparently Trent Lott II.

[Logical me]

Bonehead is a wimp and should be kicked out of the Speakership. He is worthless.

[Mouton]

These guys don’t want to play contact politics. All they want is to recognized as in charge or in line to or whatever.

[MestaMachine]

Somebody has boehner’s number. Wonder what his price was.

Issa, Boehner at odds over holding Holder in contempt of Congress

No need to read further to learn who is taking which position.

” Boehner is apparently Trent Lott II.”

YES!!

"Thanks for covering my back, John. Without you, I would be in real trouble this reelection."

[RitaOK]

Chances are that it is ROMNEY who is behind Boehner’s reluctance, or wobbly stand until which time Romney weighs in on what goes forward and what does not.

The article quotes MITT ROMNEY as being FOR the resignation of Eric Holder. We will find out whether he means that or not.

It’s ROMNEY, as the presumptive nominee, who will determine where this goes on this potential contempt citation against Holder.

He is the defacto leader of the party and the Speaker of the House is not going to buck his direction on ANYTHING going forward.
