House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa told Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday that he has until Tuesday morning to produce Operation Fast and Furious documents or his committee will be voting to hold him in contempt of Congress on Wednesday.
“[O]nly the delivery of documents outlined and offered by the Department of Justice last Thursday to staff will be sufficient to justify a postponement of Wednesday’s scheduled vote,” Issa wrote to Holder on Monday afternoon. “As the department has not yet produced these document – and unless it does so tomorrow morning – I will not be able to offer you the committee’s assessment of them at tomorrow’s meeting.”
In a letter to Issa earlier in the day, Holder asked to meet at 11 a.m. Issa responded that the meeting will take place at 5 p.m. — only after his committee staff can review the promised Fast and Furious documents.
In his letter, Holder argued he had taken “extraordinary” steps to accommodate Issa’s subpoena. Issa shot back, saying, “There is nothing extraordinary about an offer from a federal agency to fully or partially respond to a subpoena.”
Issa also said nothing “short of full compliance” will be “sufficient” for him to “negotiate” a “delay of contempt proceedings” because Holder has not specified what documents he plans to give the committee this week and has not provided a “log that includes descriptions of documents, the dates they were created, who created them, and individualized explanations for why the department believes these documents should not be produced pursuant to the subpoena.”
It’s unclear if Holder will actually produce the documents in time to halt the contempt of Congress vote. His spokeswoman, Tracy Schmaler, wouldn’t answer when The Daily Caller asked if he will.
And what will happen on Wednesday?
Holder will push it.......
Holder will do nothing, Lot’s of noise will be made, and nothing will happen.
vote on contempt of Congress
Looks like it may be time to put up or shut up.
I will gladly pay you Tuesday...
Ping
No need to vote, I already have nothing but contempt for congress.
“And what will happen on Wednesday?”
Nothing.
The lack of consequences for the AG says a LOT about the R leadership.
Then again, so did their capitulation on raising the debt limit last summer.
Screw the DOJ...let us hold Congress in contempt of the People.
I’m weary of my Country. It’s time to move to the wilderness...
Holder and Baraq play golf?
Hey, maybe the Attorney General will appoint the Attorney General to investigate this, huh?
I hope they hold this filthy ba$tard’s feet to the fire until he screams! What a piece of garbage!
Sounds like the Clintons all over again, altho this time it’s with extremely nasty racial and communistic overtones.
Holder will taunt him a .... thirty-ninth time.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
“””And what will happen on Wednesday?
Holder and Baraq play golf? “”””
Huff, puff, cry, cave, repeat. YAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“[O]nly the delivery of documents outlined and offered by the Department of Justice last Thursday to staff will be sufficient to justify a postponement of Wednesday’s scheduled vote,” Issa wrote to Holder on Monday afternoon. “As the department has not yet produced these document – and unless it does so tomorrow morning – I will not be able to offer you the committee’s assessment of them at tomorrow’s meeting.””
“”In a letter to Issa earlier in the day, Holder asked to meet at 11 a.m. Issa responded that the meeting will take place at 5 p.m. — only after his committee staff can review the promised Fast and Furious documents.”””
What a bunch of clap-trap. If Holder offered documents last Thursday, why aren’t they in Issa’s hands already?
Holder is playing Issa for a fool AGAIN and he’s going to go along with it. How is his staff going to get through the number of documents requested in that short amount of time? The committee will be purposely buried in so many documents, it would take from this week until after the election to review them. We can only hope that the same incompetence from DOJ as we’ve seen thus far will result in docs being dumped that are NOT MEANT FOR ANYONE TO SEE!!
Well, it happens in novels - so why not in DC? There’s no better example of fiction than that place!!
Does anyone in DC live in the REAL WORLD?
Hope Issa is serious.
The most transparent administration ever. No birth certificate, no college records, no accountability. Just Lies, coverup, hiding the truth. It is hard to come clean when u r a RAT.
Blessings, Bobo
