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.
Holder NEVER intended to turn over the documents! He knows he doesn’t have to do a damn thing he doesn’t want to do. He flaunted the law during Clinton what has changed? Obama is even more corrupt than Clintons (& I thought I would never say that!).
More of a joke, at least.
Word is on The Hill that Holder is guilty, the GOP has the goods on him in the docs, and that Issa isn’t bluffing - nor is Boehner or Cantor.
Holder was mighty nervous in his statement in Statuary Hall moments ago.
What did the President know and when did he know it?
I was under the impression that Congress already has the documents (emails) they’re requesting from Holder. They were provided by the whistleblower — but they can’t use them because of the way the whistleblower obtained them. Congress has to get stuff “by the book”. Not sure if this is true, or where/when I heard this — but FWIW...
Hey, didn’t I see a story that Issa gave Holder an ultimatum in Breaking News yesterday? ...I see Issa wimped out again.
Did Eric Holder come to say that he wanted to negotiate??? Did he tell Issa he was only following orders??? Grab the popcorn folks, this is going to get good!!!
They can use the documents anyway they want. There is enough info in them plus testimony to send Holder up the river.

So Issa is going to give it to that scofflaw Holder. Well good.
Oh yeah, I'm a sure as I can be that the Democrats would hold off using whistleblower e-mails because they're not "by the book" if the shoe was on the other foot. Why, I can just imagine Nancy Pelosi admonishing Henry Waxman for even thinking about using leaked e-mails against a Republican President, especially if those e-mails were direct confirmation that the Attorney General had lied to congressional investigators.
I think that the end of day Tuesday is what has been discussed ever since last week. It started by saying that Contempt Vote would be scheduled for the First of this Week and Friday Holder said he would meet and comply so they wouldn’t have to hold a vote — he was given to end of day today and they have now stuck to it.
If Issa makes the contempt motion in committee tomorrow, he has held to what he said a week ago.
Stop this pussy footing around by the Republicans and bring this to a head now. How many months do the Republicans need to get their balls.
For every hour that (With)Holder gets a further delay, how many more shredded documents is that?
what happens to him if he’s held in contempt?
Looks like the country might be taking a slight turn back to the rule of law. Was kinda looking forward to ignoring all of DC’s laws. What’s good for the Goose is good for the Gandor. Looks like this Goose might be getting cooked, though.
The MSM outlets all create polls to show this is a terrible development for Republicans.
