In a statement issued moments ago, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa “praised the inclusion of special provisions in the proposed 113th Congress rules package that will keep in place legal obligations on U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and others at the Justice Department as a result of lawful subpoenas issued in the 112th Congress.
“The inclusion of these provisions in the House rules will allow the civil suit, authorized by a bipartisan vote of the House in July 2012, which seeks federal courts to compel the production of relevant subpoenaed documents to continue,” the press release issued by Frederick R. Hill, Committee Director of Communications advised. “Without these provisions, the Justice Department could have argued that its obligation to produce subpoenaed documents expired with the previous Congress.”
“These provisions in the 113th Congress rules package ensure that the civil suit authorized by the House of Representatives with the support of twenty-one Democratic representatives will move forward,” the release quoted Issa. “The Justice Department has still not met its legal obligations to turn over documents showing why it waited ten months to formally retract false denials of reckless tactics in Operation Fast and Furious and why it failed to appropriately respond to whistleblower allegations.

How many years now? And the same defiance from Salazar?
I’m glad Issa keeps pushing, but the bad guys never expect to respond to these subpenas. They believe the revolution will be a success and the dictatorship of the proletariat established before they may be successfully compelled to obey.
And then, of course, it won’t matter.
This is becoming Kabuki theater. Does anyone think something will happen?
One never knows but at least Issa is trying. Look at the EPA Chief that has been playing out the email fraud(along with Holder’s help)and now resigned when the emails had to be produced. Small victory but a W just the same.
Will the real culprits of F&F, Hassan( he’s guilty despite the beard!), Benghazi, SEALs murdered, so much? New fundamental changes and Obama has the “etch-a’sketch” on erase.
TWB
They gave them to Hillary and she forgot where she put them. She had a concussion you know........
Holder won’t turn over the documents, but he can do this: 21 minute video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFALonjLay0, Rampant Injustice, FEDERAL AGENTS raid an Arkansas Water Bottling plant. This is a re enactment, but told by owner, manager and employees of what happened. CHILLING. FOR DOCUMENTS, ironic.
Nothing is going to happen. It's just one big joke.
