Last month, during one of his weekly press briefings, Speaker of the House John Boehner expressed his support for the efforts of the House Oversight and Government Reform committee and Chairman Darrell Issa during their investigation of the Fast and Furious operation.

During the briefing a reporter from the Daily Caller asked Boehner, “Will you support the 100-plus members who have called for Attorney General Eric Holder to resign and bring up [Arizona Republican] Rep. [Paul] Gosar’s resolution of no confidence to the floor?”

Boehner responded, “I think Chairman Issa and the members of the committee have done a very good job of investigating this abuse of government power and I continue to support their efforts and believe that this Justice Department must be held accountable.”

Check out the video from the Daily Caller:

Wait, wait, wait...isn’t this the guy who ostensibly cut a deal with Holder and told Grassley and Issa to wrap up the investigation and let it go?

I couldn’t find the Video, but just from reading here it appears that the man asked a simple question , and Boehner gave him a BS answer.

If I were Issa I wouldn’t be waiting for support from Boehner.

Issa has balls the size of atoms.

He has been dancing around this outright fraud, lies, coverup and corruption for over a full year.

He should subpoena every one in the Justice Department with any knowledge and every document and then hold them in contempt if they refuse to cooperate.

If that doesn't get their attention, have them arrested by the Capitol Police.

Even Greta is fed up with Issa and his tippy toe fag boi dancing around that black first, attorney general.

I am in full agreement with you. This stinky stuff should have hit the fan over this long ago.

I believe it will eventually just die.
