Issa, Boehner decline ‘Fast and Furious’ meeting with Holder until DOJ satisfies document

Daily Caller ^ | 6/12/12 | Matthew Boyle

[Nachum]

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

Another question needs to be asked. “Who, in the administration, stood to benefit, financially, from sending 2000 weapons to the cartels.

[Sequoyah101]

Constitutional Crisis? Yeah, right.

This is just Holder yelling fire after he robbed the bank to get people to look the other way.

[skeeter]

He needs to go straight to the woodshed.

Right. After a quick stop to pick up some new bibs and blingbling.

it seems; S.O.H. "Weepy/Caveman" Bonehead, only doing this
for PR purposes...the history; he'll cave. :-/

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

Sounds like a pretty plausible theory to me.
On the record, recorded and sworn testimony is the only way for the truth to come out, the hell with closed door meetings by politicians.

Boehner should have said it would be demeaning to his people to meet one on one with this racist.

[blueyon]

“A Sit Down...one on one”..I would offer a one on one if I had something on each of them so what is Holder up to....just asking

[Terry Mross]

Two words that will make republicans run for cover: Constitutional Crisis.

There’s an easy way to make this F&F stuff go away.

Repeal every friggin anti-gun law on the books and bury the conspirators of F&F under Leavenworth.

What is the ‘constitutional crisus’ that Holder could be referring to? He should know since he did go to law school.

[X-spurt]

Holder knows this ain’t any Constitutional crisis. All he has to do is claim Executive Priveledge and that’s it. But when they get the axe in Nov. Romney can have his DOJ go after Holder anew.

Looks like UATWMF for Holder, either way. And he can see a vacant spot under the nobama bus just his size.

Holder is maneuvering for a non sworn meeting to evade a perjury conviction...

You nailed it. Issa and Boehner need to tell Holder that there is nothing he can't say behind closed doors that he can't say to the American people under oath.

[liberalh8ter]

LOL...there's always room for one more!

[showme_the_Glory]

Offer your confession and what BO’s involvement is and then we’ll talk!

[FreeAtlanta]

It sounds like they have Holder by his and are squeezing and he is pleading and crying.

I think he is scared.

[Standing Wolf]

I'll be darned! Someone must have reminded Congress its job is to represent us, not play footsie with felons in high office.

[tsomer]

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

I was wondering about that. What do you suppose he has on Boehner or Issa? Boehner has seemed gun-shy.

Let's see if they agree to this meeting. I'm inclined to think not, but you can't tell with the weepy one. The first is never the final word with these people.

Memo to Eric Holder: We have been in a constitutional crisis since we elected an ineligible usurper to the presidency. Holding you in contempt is constitutional obligation.

[Jane Long]

Did someone lend Boehner a pair of testicles?

Yeah, Scott Walker. But only for the day.

Love it!

Scott Walker is like Chuck Norris to me.

Stedman may have tipped his hand to a Constitutional crisis. This may mean that this whole operation goes straight to the White Crib on the anti-gun agenda. F'n'F was supposed to 'prove' that guns are moving across the border into the hands of the cartels, and that the US needs to disarm all citizens and shut down all gun shops. This backfired, misfired, and stovepiped when the phony antics led to the death of an agent.
