The House Oversight and Government
Reform Committee has approved a resolution holding Attorney General Eric Holder
in contempt of Congress.
The measure now goes to the full
House.
This after Obama today asserted
Executive Privilege to congress, saying that the Justice Dept. does not have to
comply with the Oversight Committee request for documentation, from Holder, for
the Fast and Furious/gunrunner operation that got Brian Terry kill.
The announcement touched off a
heated debate on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that
lasted into the afternoon, as Democrats accused Issa of prosecuting a
"political witch hunt"
Witch hunt? You've got to wonder why
the left would ignore that this committee wants answers to why American guns
got in to the hands of the Mexican Drug cartel and ended up killing Patrolman
Terry. It's got NOTHING to do with political witch hunt. Terry Parents want
ANSWERS! They deserve one.
Darrel Issa fire back at the
Democrats by saying "This untimely assertion by the Justice Department falls
short of any reason to delay today's proceedings,"
Republicans have more than enough
votes in the house to pass the contempt of Congress.
Let’s hope they follow through with it, for Brians sake!!!
