From Fox News:
The GOP-led House voted Thursday to hold Attorney General Eric Holder
in contempt of Congress for failing to provide key information
pertaining to Operation Fast and Furious, making Holder the first
sitting Cabinet member to be held in contempt.
The vote was 255-67
, with 17 Democrats breaking ranks to side with Republicans in favor of contempt.
The vote follows a roughly 16-month investigation by the chamber’s
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee into the failed
gun-running sting known as Fast and Furious -- run by the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, a division of the Justice
Department led by Holder.
Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., filed two subpoenas over
that period requesting additional information. But he has more recently
focused on information related to a February 2011 letter to Congress
that falsely claimed the ATF was unaware the operation involved the
underground sale of the assault weapons.
Not surprisingly, a bunch of Democrats played like stupid chickens and waddle out of the House floor:
Among Democrats most opposed to the votes were members of the
Congressional Black Caucus, who led more than 100 House party members in
boycotting the vote and walking out of the chamber.
What a bunch of asinine babies.
Holder is a contemptible human being. Instead of trying to solve the killing of a Border Patrol agent, they are trying to hide information, some of which may help find the killer of Border Patrol agent, Brian Terry.
The Congressional Black Caucus says it's racism that the House is holding Holder in contempt.
How about this, maybe Holder is hiding information on the murder of a white Border Patrol Agent. Perhaps, it is Obama, the Congressional Black Caucus and Holder who are the racists.
So, now what? He's got a heavy black mark by his name? That sure was worth weeks of Congress' time.
ReplyDeleteYou know how grumpy you are about the Obamacare ruling? That's about how aggravated I was about the Obama Administration's decision NOT to investigate any of the Bush Administration's many, many questionable practices. I knew--KNEW--it would gain him no credit. And sure as shooting', if the GOP gets the Senate back, we're going to have a series of investigations like this one about everything. Remember the investigations about Socks the Cat, and the Clinton Christmas card list? Probably less goofy than what will happen.
Well, didn't Socks kill a bird once? ;)
