House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) threatened Tuesday to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress if the Justice Department did not provide certain documents in response to the committee’s subpoena.

In a letter to Holder, Issa wrote that “this committee will have no alternative but to move forward with proceedings to hold you in contempt of Congress” if Holder and the DOJ didn’t produce documents they demanded relating to the Fast and Furious gun-walking scandal.

Holder has until Thursday, Feb. 9. to comply, according to Issa.

Issa accused the Justice Department of trying to “obstruct our investigation and deceive the public” by withholding documents.

Maybe the Issa needs to speak to Bush. (channelling Lady Jazzer).

Investigation? No. Fishing expedition. And you "fiscal conservatives" are all for this waste of time and money.

NO EVIDENCE.

You're correct. There is little evidence, a lot of very suspicious indications. It's called evidence gathering, discovery, investigation. It's done all the time. If you were up on some charges, you would hope to hell that your attorney or someone would gather all the evidence they possible could. That's what Issa is doing. "House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) threatened Tuesday to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress if the Justice Department did not provide certain documents in response to the committee’s subpoena." The possible contempt charge is for refusing to release requested documents... which is totally right and legal. Protecting our liberties and freedoms is a fine expenditure of our tax money.

Because the Dems say so?

"That information came in a series of e-mails in which the former US attorney in Arizona, Dennis Burke, discussed the F&F’s first fatality, agent Brian Terry, with a Holder deputy. The e-mails were sent in the early hours of Dec. 15, 2010, the day Terry died of wounds received the day before in a shootout 18 miles inside the US border, near Nogales.

The deputy, Monty Wilkinson, responded: “Tragic. I’ve alerted the AG.”
