While Rep. Darryl Issa (R-CA) is eager to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of congress for failing to provide all records and information regarding the controversial Operation Fast and Furious gun-smuggling fiasco, a number of GOP members of his committee appear to be getting "cold feet at the thought of going up against Holder," a law enforcement source in Washington, D.C. said on Sunday.

As a result Rep. Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, may not have the full support of his fellow Republicans in taking action against Holder and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and therefore he'll lack the votes to proceed with the contempt resolution and his investigation, according to the Law Enforcement Examiner source.

Someone, or some agency, got to them.
Otherwise, Holder would already be cooked.
FOUR MORE MONTHS!!!!

They should’ve prosecuted Holder months ago.. Now it’s too close to the election to do it.. THERE IS ALWAYS A REASON NOT TO DO IT, MEANWHILE MORE DAMAGE IS BEING DONE TO OUR COUNTRY WHICH MAKES THEM ACCOMPLICES.

Throw out the elephant. The new symbol of the Republican party is a mewing little kitten.

This article - or one like it - has been put out there twice in the last two weeks.

IMO it’s trash - but we shall see what the real/whole story is soon enough.

Considering the aggressive posturing by Issa, this story seems like crap... at minimum only a part of a bigger picture.

I’m happy to wait and see.

Boehner is being blackmailed, I have no doubt about it.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

So the GOP's spineless jellyfish in Congress are going to leave Issa hangin' out to dry. Emboldened by their Fearless Leader, John Boehner.

Can't say I'm surprised. Monumentally pi$$ed but not surprised.

Now it’s too close to the election to do it..

Justice delayed is justice denied. Justice has been denied Brian Terry's family for far too long.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Hmm...so the story has been out there...OK

Big hearing of Holder tomorrow....

Well see what happens.

[laweeks]

Until this whole gaggle of spinless, sissypussy, worthless RINOs is thrown out of office, we'll get slapped all over by these criminals infesting our Execute Branch.

Why in the world does this disgusting racist Holder scare these jackwagons? Right now, and for the last 3 years, this stinking punk has trashed our Constitution and spit on all "white" voters, and this congress is going to let this pig continue?

WTF is going on with the republican leadership?

>>Boehner is being blackmailed, I have no doubt about it. <<

More people than Boehner is being blackmailed.

It doesn’t matter. Holder will be forced to resign by the end of summer.

He’ll have to as the GOP sets this issue up to be a continuous drum beat throughout the summer. They will steal headlines, dampen enthusiasm and cut into any narative Obama and his team try to introduce.

Obama will have to relieve pressure ask for Holder to resign. He also needs to shut up Bill Clinton — perhaps he’ll ask Bill to be AG, lol.
