WASHINGTON — Both House Republican officials and Attorney General Eric Holder say they’re willing to negotiate an end to a potential constitutional confrontation in a dispute related to the botched “Fast and Furious” gun-tracking operation.
The conflict heated up Wednesday, when a House committee voted to hold the attorney general in contempt and President Barack Obama invoked executive privilege to avoid turning over some documents related to the operation.

this country was the apex of the world when it demonstrated that doing what is right was more important than emphasizing and trying to sell the who is right facade that now exists. It would be good to reinstate Character as a necessity of American citizenship and should be added to the mantra of Borders, Language and Culture. Just saying.
There really is a simple solution.
Holder resigns, says the Whitehouse had no knowledge, Obama blames his attorney for advising him incorrectly on the matter and congress bags a rat.
As a show of good faith, the President and congress sets up the Brian Terry fund for the children of slain federal officers.
If we wait for this to play out, by the time Holder goes to court Romney will be in his second term.
The time for negotiations ended yesterday.
It’s now on like Donkey Kong and we want every piece of evidence including any and all White House communications.
We weren’t even looking at the White House until you invoked executive privilege, which is an admission the White House was involved as “privilege” can only cover the White House and not “Justice”.
Gutless GOP leaders indeed!
They couldn’t lead ants to a picnic.
Beer party?
Resign?? No Way, I want them prosecuted and put in jail!!!!
THE ONLY THING BOTCHED WAS THE COVER-UP!

There is a reason we do not have The National Right to Work Act sat bottled up in cmte. And it’s not spelled Democrat. It’s spelled John Boehner...sad to say.
"I believe we must lull Obama into our confidence by neither supporting his decree nor opposing it."
"A wise plan, we must negotiate..."
The only thing Bonehead does better than crying is compromising. He is, unfortunately, a master at both.
The only thing that needs any negotiation is handcuffs in the front or back of Holder, Hussein, Pelosi, Jarett, et al.
Where in the story does it mention a GOP compromise? The GOP is still saying they want the documents. The position hasn't changed.
If Holder hands them over they may be satisfied...maybe not.
NOTHING has changed.
Boner and Can’t-or should talk to Darrel Issa on such a meeting. Issa barely had his jacket back on before Holder and Elijah Cummings were spinning the way the closed-door meeting went. Almost every DemocRat on the House Oversight committee tried to exploit that spin in their comments before the contempt vote yesterday, getting plenty of propaganda mileage out of it, by saying Holder was very forthcoming and Issa was being stubborn.
Same thing will happen here. Can’t these morons just say, “we made a pledge of transparency to the American people and President Obama promised them the most transparent administration ever. On a matter of such importance to the administration of justice, no closed door meetings will be held. The matter is now in the hands of Congress”
I second that!
Winner!
Maximum Holder faces is a $1000 fine and 1 year in jail. Thats the max!
