House Republicans on Wednesday presented an amendment to a Department of Justice spending bill that would prevent Justice from using taxpayer funds to lie to Congress.
The bill, which is likely to pass, was presented by Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) and supported by several other Republicans who are outraged over a February 2011 letter from the department that denied any involvement in a gun-walking program....
On Tuesday night, the House voted to strip $1 million in funding from Justice in response to the Fast and Furious scandal.

Yes, ask Roger Clemens about his six felony counts of lying to Congress.
18 U.S.C. § 1001 : US Code - Section 1001: Statements or entries generally
Well...Clemens lied about...BASEBALL and STEROIDS!!!
It seems...according to the left...this much more severe than guns going to drug cartels.
Passing a law that makes it illegal to do what is already illegal is a joke. It's kabuki for the retards in Congress so that they can pat themselves for having "done something" when in fact they've done nothing at all.
Issa needs to start drafting the impeachment now.
Go to any restaurant in El Paso and ask around. Bullets from Juaraz have hit people walking in downtown EP and grade school yards. Another mass grave was discovered just a few days ago along the border.
Meet with NM ranchers who live close to the border. Most have left fearing for their lives.
Yup...see tag
What’s amazing to me is that there has been ZILCH about this in the media on the West Coast. Yet the Sir Skittles case that is 3,000 miles away??
Relentless headline news, 24/7 on TV and in the papers.
And now, a prank Romney pulled as a stupid teenager is screaming headline news, 24/7 —all over the TV, radio, papers here. THAT is more important than Fast & Furious, which I agree, is the largest scandal in the past 10 years at least.
If it were Bush can you imagine the outcry from the left??
What I dont understand is why some people destroy themselves by letting their emotions take control.
I have not been destroyed...I'm still here.
Would you prefer we didnt step over that line in the sand that, until now has been resisted?
Makes no sense
This was a suggestion made by Congressman Trey Gowdy and taken up by Congress.
...that must first pass the Senate (lol) and then be signed by Zer0 (LOL!!) Even IF these two criteria are met, it will accomplish NOTHING!
Gowdy is Issas strongest supporter and also one of the clearest heads regarding constitutional law.
Liked him in the hearings. But again, NOTHING accomplished.
Do you understand this is not a step backwards?
More like a lateral arabesque.
Are you supporting the right people with your money? (one suggestion) or talked to friends who are unaware?
The people I speak with are well aware that this was an outright assault on the Second Amendment. As to money, I' m almost 70 and have NEVER nor will I EVER give money to ANY politician! I have, on some occasions, donated my time. I DO however, support FR.....do you?
We are done...have a nice day.
Said with pinkie at the side of his mouth...
