Issa sends out draft contempt order against Holder.

Post by Flesh Thorn »

Republican Rep. Darrell Issa has circulated a lengthy pair of documents making the case for holding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress over his "refusal" to cooperate in an investigation of the ill-fated Fast and Furious operation.
Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, on Thursday sent to every member of his committee a 64-page draft contempt order against Holder, as well as a 17-page memo outlining the history of the scandal.
"Operation Fast and Furious' outrageous tactics, the Justice Department's refusal to fully cooperate with the investigation and efforts to smear and retaliate against whistleblowers have tainted the institutional integrity of the Justice Department," Issa wrote.

If he thinks Congress is irrelevant, and holds them in contempt... looking upon them as a mere obstacle to greater power... what does he care?

X3! This will amount to nothing. Komrade Obama will not remove him, it will be business as usual. If Issa and those still left in Congress with an ounce of moral turpitude find enough to criminally charge the SOB, the "Chairman" will just pardon him. What did Doris Day use to sing? "Que sera sera"................. :evil:
