Chaffetz: White House blocking access to ‘Fast and Furious’ witness who wants to testify

So this guy is a slave? He has no free will? Is he chained up or what?

Might as well be. Obama sent him to IRAQ.

[little jeremiah]

Oh, the poor guy is still in Iraq; I didn’t click the link to read the whole article. I miss the days when whole articles could be posted on FR.

Sheesh, O’Reilly should be given some kind of special protection and brought back from Iraq.

[hoosiermama]

OR witness protection program.

[bgill]

the Obama administration won’t let him appear before Congress

Excuse me but Hussein doesn't have any say over Congress. Just invite all of Congress over for lunch and then run his mouth very loudly. Everything he knows would be fast as a bunny.

[BushCountry]

This is stupid, hasn’t anyone heard of video conferencing?

[MestaMachine]

[Paine in the Neck]

Were you aware that the Obama Admin. sent O'Reilly out of the country (on assignment) right after he said he would testify?

I am.

I don't think the US Marshals jurisdiction extents to the Middle East.

They certainly operate internationally as they are the designated agency for repatriating fugitives being extradited back to the US. Whether that extends to apprehending US citizens overseas is unclear from their website.

Problem for Obama and Holder:

They cannot prevent O’Reilly from testifying by claiming “executive priviledge” since they both denied ever knowing about F&F.

EP doesn’t apply.

Catch 22, a classic double-bind.

Last paragraph of the article:

“You cannot just ignore subpoenas,” the congressman [Chaffetz] insisted. “That’s why we are on a collision course where we’ll have to come to the decision to say, ‘are we going to hold the Department of Justice, Eric Holder, in contempt and go through contempt proceedings?’”

I hereby commandeer the popcorn concession for this one :)

[sergeantdave]

The alligators are escaping from the moat around Buckwheat’s castle, and the racist traitor Holder is looking for a port in Africa to escape the hangman’s noose.

[RedMDer]

[struggle]

CONTEMPT.

[TigersEye]

Most transparent administration ever! ROTFLOL

[firebrand]

It wasn't in the complete article that he was sent to Iraq. Discussed here.

[autumnraine]

This is the Republican’s fault.

They have had MUCH to start impeachment proceedings (F&F and Libya are just two) and yet they just dick around.
