    I’m glad to see that at least something is going right in Washington. My congressman serves on this committee.

    It’s about time the wheels came off. 3 -1/2 years, they have racked up a lot of damage.

    What took them so long? And where are the articles of impeachment?

    A Civil Contempt suit as opposed to a criminal contempt suit.?
Why not criminal contempt.
Does Civil contempt even have a penalty?

    The country does not seem to care if Obama or his administration break the law. The media has decided it is not even important for coverage. They need to protect Obama so he can continue to bankrupt the country.

    So on June 28th, they voted to do this, and a month and a half later they will sue tomorrow?
What a bunch of PUSSIES!
Holder only has to stonewall a little longer and the election will be over.

    Walberg and Amash are two good ones on the committee.
Unlike their own congressman (Dingell) Walberg and Amash have actually met the Terry family and are working toward justice.

 I agree this is a slow reaction . The best thing I got from this is Ms Attkisson is reporting again. She has done great work on this story. I know for a fact she almost lost her job in the beginning of this story. I hope she comes back hard and gives this evening news coverage . I am sure that is wishful thinking.

    Does Civil contempt even have a penalty? If I am not mistaken, a civil contempt suit before federal judge John J. Sirica is what shook loose the Nixon tapes. 
 Question is: does the Obama administration have the same honor and respect for the law as the Nixon administration.

    Good question for the ranking members.
In fact, that’s one of the things I’d like to see changed in DC. No more appointments based on seniority. We sent some good folks to DC who have living under the idiotic “freshman” label for the past two years.

    Holder should have been removed years ago, and his DOJ needs a massive over haul and get rid of the racist laywers there.

    The DoJ would have to file a criminal complaint. Not complying with a civil order can result in jail for contempt of court, though.
