(CBS News) -- House Republicans investigating the Fast and Furious scandal have gotten the go-ahead by their party leaders to pursue a contempt citation against Attorney General Eric Holder, senior congressional aides told CBS News. The resolution will accuse Holder and his Justice Department of obstructing the congressional probe into the allegations that the government let thousands of weapons fall into the hands of Mexican drug cartels.
The citation would attempt to force Holder to turn over tens of thousands of pages documents related to the probe, which has entered its second year.
For months, congressional Republicans probing ATF's Fast and Furious "Gunwalker" scandal - led by California Republican Darrell Issa, have been investigating a contempt citation. They've worked quietly behind the scenes to build support among fellow Republicans, since it could ultimately face a full House vote. CBS News has confirmed that House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, has given Rep. Issa, who heads the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, the go-ahead to proceed. A 48-page long draft contempt resolution is being prepared.

Hmm-hmm....
Looks like just paperwork to me...same as lip service.
“...let thousands of weapons fall into the hands of Mexican drug cartels”
BS! They conspired to, and orchestrated the sales of said guns. “Let” sounds like they just turned their back, while it was going on. This operation was desigend by Balack Obama, Eric the puppet, and Hitlery Clinton, with consultation by Chuck Schumer.

“It now appears Issa is currently moving forward without the support of House Speaker John Boehner”
I hope John Boehner is replaced come next election.
Well, its a start.
Well at least they are acting like they are going to do something.
We will see.
Won’t make any difference
mixed messages --- This, from Issa committee "official," saying a final decision on issuing the citation hasn't been made.
At this point, I’ll believe it about a week after I see it.
And this is going to do exactly what kind of good?
Ping for reference.
IOW, Soros sent the word out he needs help shoving Holder further under the bus. But that's fine by me.
