Holder contempt vote coming next week, says Issa :: 06/13/2012
After months of speculation and threats that some pundits have denounced as empty, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is scheduled to vote Wednesday, June 20 on whether to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt over Justice Department stonewalling on Operation Fast and Furious.
House Speaker John Boehner, who has been under criticism from some corners for not moving faster against Holder, issued a statement Monday morning, declaring time has run out for the Justice Department t comply with a subpoena issued last October.
"The Justice Department is out of excuses," Boehner said in his statement. "Congress has given Attorney General Holder more than enough time to fully cooperate with its investigation into 'Fast and Furious,' and to help uncover the circumstances regarding the death of Border Agent Brian Terry. Agent Terry's family, the whistleblowers who brought this issue to light, and the American people deserve answers. Either the Justice Department turns over the information requested, or Congress will have no choice but to move forward with holding the Attorney General in contempt for obstructing an ongoing investigation."
