Attorney General Eric Holder publicly asked House Speaker John Boehner, House oversight committee Chairman Darrell Issa and Sen. Chuck Grassley during a Tuesday morning hearing to meet with him one-on-one about Operation Fast and Furious. But the leading congressional investigators said a House subpoena from October 2011 is still pending and the ball is in Holder’s court. “I want to make it very clear that I am offering to sit down, by myself, offering to sit down with the Speaker, with the chairman, with whomever, to try to work our way through this in an attempt to avoid a constitutional

Did someone lend Boehner a pair of testicles?

Title should be: Holder Threatens Constitutional Crises if Republicans Continue Hearings. Glad to hear Bohner is holding the line for a change. Already knew Issa would.

One congressman in the hearing last week asked Holder to make himself available outside the hearing and Holder never answered the question. Now he wants to? BS.

Avoid a Constitutional crisis? We've had that since 2008. Interesting choice of words, even though he tried tom walk them back.

I have little faith in Issa, and NONE in Boehner, who the Joker was referencing in the above clip.

It reminds me of Adolph Hitler’s “Open Hands” speech.

Yeah, Scott Walker. But only for the day.

'Caveman' Bohner will cave! He got his nickname 'caveman' from the many times he has caved in the past. He is a worthless leader. He never holds the line. He does not worry about what the Republicans assembly thinks of him.

I remember reading last week that the Republican leadership of the House were trying to make all of this F&F controversy go away.

Holder probably thought he could hoodwink Boehner......and he probably could.

I don’t trust any private meeting among politicians.

Why can’t he solve this thing publicly. What is he hiding?

I like Issa. He looks tough and he’s hanging tough on this issue.

Don’t fool for Holder’s delaying tactics. He needs to go straight to the woodshed.

Wasn't Holder in charge of Waco? The Elian Gonzales fiasco?

He likes guns only when they're in the hands of the Fed Gov't.

Surrender the documents, d***head. That’s how you work your way through this.

That SOB belongs in Supermax.

Holder is maneuvering for a non sworn meeting to evade a perjury conviction when he lies and threatens.
