Shortly after the blogger bowling bash at Blogcon, last night, while Blogconners were sipping cocktails at Fitzgerald’s Irish Pub, none other than The Daily Caller’s, Matthew Boyle pointed me to this important story on Fast and Furious that I somehow managed to miss, last week. I figure if I missed it, some of you did too….
Kerry Picket at the Washington Times Water Cooler reported this, last Wednesday:
Rep. Darrell Issa, California Republican and Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has yet to charge Attorney General Eric Holder for contempt of Congress for failing to supply Mr. Issa’s committee with thousands of pieces of documentation relating to the Justice Department’s gun walking operation known as “Fast and Furious.”
Rep. Issa told me on Tuesday night to expect movement on the contempt charge towards A.G. Holder very soon.
“We’re going through a process,” said Congressman Issa. “That process is going to take weeks but not months more.”
This comes after a year of threats made by Chairman Issa to hold officials of the Obama Justice Department in contempt for their obstruction of justice surrounding the Fast and Furious scandal, unless they cooperated more fully..
Townhall’s, Katie Pavlich (also at BlogCon) documented the DOJ’s systematic and egregious stonewalling cover-up in her hot new bestseller, Fast and Furious: Barack Obama’s Bloodiest Scandal and Its Shameless Coverup.
Pavlich asks: “will perjury charges follow charges of contempt? After all, Holder has changed his testimony about what he knew and when he knew about Fast and Furious multiple times, under oath in front of Congress.”
Another question to ask – will enough Democrats join Republicans on holding Holder’s feet to the fire, to shake the MSM loose from their ennui on the Fast and Furious scandal? – And could a vote of “no confidence” also be looming?
Final question: Will Attorney General Eric Holder become such a drag on the Obama administration that he’ll be asked to step down before the election, or will he brazen it out to the bitter end?
