Issa on Cunningham: 'We are still going to bring him forward'(gunwalker)

"Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, goes on Fox News to discuss next week's hearing on Operation Fast and Furious. Patrick Cunningham, Chief of the Criminal Division in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Arizona, will plead the fifth amendment during next week's committee hearing," the committee YouTube page video caption reads.

Cunningham's reported pending resignation was the subject of a WarOnGuns blog report, followed the next day by Chairman Issa issuing a subpoena to compel his testimony after he backed out of voluntarily complying with the Committee's requests to tell what he knows.

The next day, Cunnigham's attorney wrote to Issa to advise him that his client was going to exercise his right under the Fifth Amendment "not to be a witness against himself."

That a senior DOJ official recognizes there are criminal implications--as opposed to Fast and Furious being mere personnel issues and "foul ups," takes the Gunwalker investigation to a new level.

Issa's appearance on Fox News answers the question of whether or not Cunningham will still be called before the Committee:

Bring him before the committe. See if he will cut a deal. If he will not, at least get video of him pleading the fifth.

Issa and Grassley have blood on their hands. Justice delayed is justice denied.

Holder? Clinton? Emmanuel? 0bama?

Accessories, conspirators, racketeers and the money men/woman.
