KatiePavlich Katie Pavlich Jun 19, 05:46 PM MEETING OVER: Contempt still lives, DOJ didn't produce documents #fastandfurious
Latest news on Issa's meeting with Holder which apparently has just finished FWIW.
promise, . . delay, . . promise, . . . delay a little more . . .
He’s stonewalling to make it through November and he knows Romney doesn’t have the balls to investigate once/if he wins.
Go for the contempt vote Darryl! You’ve been more than reasonable and you have the backing of the people.
What a surprise. Pfft...
rut roh...here comes the strongly worded letter.
These people in Congress work for us and they had better start earning their wages.
WE demand those documents or the pulling of the plug on our head attorney!
Washington is turning into a joke since 0bama and we the people need to get our government back!
1. Treasury Secretary is a tax-evader
2. Atty General exports machine-guns to drug-dealers
3. POTUS is a bisexual muslim from Kenya who consorted with terrorists
Very complete picture.
Holder seems to have gotten himself into a little problem. Turn over documents show he lied, don’t turn them over and he could be held in contempt (if Republican have any guts left).
Obama and Holder use the same tactics as the Iranians............
I bet TIME doesn't do it this time......
The spineless GOP will not act.
Can the public in general handle the trauma of such a letter?
Perhaps the reaction should be toned down a bit for humanity's sake.
what happens if they actually have the stones to hold Holder in contemp of congress? ..... NOTHING
.
Holder only agreed to meet with Issa to say he’s going to need another five months to get the documents together.
UPDATE from ISSA:
Darrell Issa @DarrellIssa
I hope #Holder’s @thejusticedept will reconsider, but I’m not optimistic. #contempt vote is on for tomorrow. #fastandfurious

Get ready for the talking points on talk shows tonight...
Republicans are evil demanding Holder turn over documents.
Republcians can’t tolerate a black man in office.
Republicans are playing politics.
Blah, blah, blah....
Sunni or Shiaa? Which head of the beast does he bow to?
Excellent news. Issa must have somehow persuaded the spineless Speaker of The House to simmer down.
“While the law pronounces the duty of the U.S. Attorney is to impanel a grand jury for its action on the matter, some proponents of the unitary executive theory believe that the Congress cannot properly compel the U.S. Attorney to take this action against the Executive Branch, asserting that the U.S. Attorney is a member of the Executive Branch who ultimately reports only to the President and that compelling the Attorney amounts to compelling the President himself. They believe that to allow Congress to force the President to take action against a subordinate following his directives would be a violation of the separation of powers and infringe on the power of the Executive branch. The legal basis for this belief, they contend, can be found in Federalist 49, in which James Madison wrote ““The several departments being perfectly co-ordinate by the terms of their common commission, none of them, it is evident, can pretend to an exclusive or superior right of settling the boundaries between their respective powers.” This approach to government is commonly known as “departmentalism” or “coordinate construction”” Wikipedia
