Chairman Issa Chastises ATF for Refusal to Comply with Subpoena (All links are PDFs.)

U.S. House of Representatives ^ | April 20, 2011 | NA

[MissesBush]

To hell with chastising. Issue a contempt of Congress citation.

[I am Richard Brandon]

Welcome to The New World Order Darrell, baby! Now get back in your place.

[Mr. Jazzy]

President for Life Barrak Milhous Odumbo have to follow the LAW??? What kind of “RADICAL” Republican nonsense is this???

[mmercier]

Congress holding ATF in contempt gives me the best laugh of whatever day this is.

Next outrage will be holding TSA or whatever they are today in contempt for failure to explain why they have an outright lunatic as head administrator.

[meatloaf]

I was thinking about cutting the ATF budget ... maybe by 100%?

[Paladin2]

"Issue a contempt of Congress citation."

Some agencies just need a defunding.

[Joe Boucher]

Can congress have them arrested if they are found in contempt?
Maybe put them in the D.C. Jail?

[DesertRhino]

Ok, all spending bills originate in the house. Absolutely zero out their budget until they decide not to be a rogue agency. Especially since they then blamed the American gun owners for the problem THEY were creating.

And stick to it even if it means a full-on shutdown.

And explain to the public that a federal agency supplied thousands of assult rifles to the Mexican drug cartels, and now refuses to answer congressional questions about it. This despotic government in DC must be stopped.

issue a contempt, suspend without pay or benefits the ATF officials blocking access, and let’s get er done

[Drill Thrawl]

The 0 admin is make the Nixon admin look like a bunch of choir boys.

They need to go. ALL OF THEM.

[Diogenesis]

Contempt, impeach or just go home already.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yes Issa needs to step down hard on ATF. They are basically a lawless agency who’s only real purpose is gun control. There’s one we should put on the shut down list.

[Sea Parrot]

Talk of contempt citations are cheap, if you’re gonna shoot, don’t talk, shoot. IOW, crap or get off the pot.

[NEMDF]

I might be wrong, but it sounds like they have to get the DOJ to cooperate to move ahead on contempt. If so, nothing will happen.

[RobinOfKingston]

“Chairman Issa? How many divisions does Chairman Issa command?”

Wait, I was told in no uncertain terms Issa would take them to the woodshed, after I predicted this is exactly what would happen.

They defunded some of the Czars, how did that work out? Oh yes I remember Obama said sorry boys but you can't do that.

It is good to be king

[itsahoot]

Ok, all spending bills originate in the house.

I just read that Obama gave 25 million to the Libyan rebels, we don't need no stinking congress.
