Holder Contempt Vote Going To Be Bi-Partisan

From the Minneapolis Star Tribune: At least four House Democrats plan to vote with Republicans to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress and dozens more may join them, potentially undercutting the Obama administration's argument that the vote is an election-year ploy by Republicans.
The four Democrats -- Collin Peterson of Minnesota, John Barrow of Georgia, Nick Rahall of West Virginia and Jim Matheson of Utah -- maintain generally moderate voting records and face challenging re-election campaigns in moderate- or Republican-leaning districts....
 The list of supportive Democrats could grow. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., a Democratic member of the House Appropriations subcommittee, said that "a couple dozen" other Democrats could join with Republicans because of NRA pressure. Schiff said: "Is it just the NRA's fight with the attorney general and are the members who support the contempt vote, from whatever party tomorrow, merely supporting the NRA and others in a partisan attack on the attorney general?"  http://www.startribune.com/politics/national/160619365.html
First, up until now, I didn't know the NRA had a big role in this vote.  Apparently, all the articles and opinion pieces, both left and right, apparently have forgotten this part.
If the Democrats would have taken this case seriously, especially after Border Patrol officer Brian Terry was murdered, we would never have come to this point in time.
But by the way Holder and President Obama have acted, it seems highly likely that they are hiding something.  If they are not, then why not turn over all the documents?
But in the end, Holder will be a disgraced Attorney General and he will soon be thrown under the bus Obama.

  1. While Holder and Obama attempt to hide the details of Fast and Furious, you can also read about another operation they hope to conceal with a search for "New police weapon against homeless" and "Historic coverup of FBI and police crimes currently taking place".
