Three months ago, conservatives were jubilant over reports that Congressman Darrell Issa would offer a Contempt of Congress complaint against Eric Holder. After all, the Attorney General had openly refused to honor House Oversight Committee subpoenas for an estimated 80,000 documents vital to the Committee’s investigation of the role played by members of the Obama Regime in Operation Fast and Furious.
Holder spent nearly a year lying to Congressional committees and making clear he had no intention of honoring legal subpoenas. His Assistant Attorney General Ron Weich had written a February 4th, 2011 letter to Congress claiming that the criminal walking of more than 2000 firearms across the Mexican border had never happened. It was that letter which would have the distinction of being the first ever Department of Justice communication to Congress which had to be withdrawn by its sender, due to certain “inaccuracies.”
Yet deadlines set by Issa and Senator Charles Grassley for the production of subpoenaed documents have systematically been ignored by this corrupt Attorney General with no substantial response by congressional Republicans.
Last week, CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson, who has reported ferociously on Regime Fast and Furious felonies and misdemeanors since its inception, wrote of another contempt citation being prepared by Darrell Issa. Attkisson discovered a 48 page draft had been provided House Speaker John Boehner, undoubtedly complete with Holder’s every lie, diversion and refusal to comply with House subpoenas.
Were Republican leaders to issue the go-ahead to Darrell Issa and actively persuade any recalcitrant (that is, weak-kneed) GOP members of the House to cooperate, the passage of a contempt citation could provide the American people a long-awaited view of Eric Holder being frog-marched to the well of the House, under arrest by the Sergeant at Arms. And reports of the Obama Regime’s assault on the 2ndAmendment rights of the American people would finally shatter the full-fledged, 18 month Fast and Furious media blockade.
But here is the latest word from a Republican spokesman: “While there are very legitimate arguments to be made in favor of such an action, no decision has been made to move forward with one by the Speaker or by House Republican leaders.”
Three months ago, it was reported that John Boehner would sell out to Eric Holder and the Democrat Party by making an under the table deal with the Attorney General for the Fast and Furious generated scalps of a few DOJ underlings. Of course, Barack Obama and Eric Holder would in return be exonerated. Unfortunately, if a nationwide account of this contemplated betrayal worked to stop Speaker Boehner in his tracks, it certainly didn’t seem to provide incentive for a more courageous tack.
In 1821, the Supreme Court ruled that Congress must have the power to issue citations of contempt in order to “…not [be] exposed to every indignity and interruption that rudeness, caprice, or even conspiracy may mediate against it.”
Yet although proof of his decades of criminal wrongdoing abounds, Republican leaders are frightened to death at the thought of holding Eric Holder to account. And he is in return piling successive rounds of indignity upon the House of Representatives via the deadly Obama Regime conspiracy of Operation Fast and Furious.

It is past time to send that sorry Boehner home in shame. America does not need or want the likes of that sorry scum.
I think it is obvious that all Republicans are in fear of their lives…..fear and intimidation go a long way from a scoundrel like Obama. I can think of no other reason that not one Republican has stepped forward to nail the illegal scum in the White House.
Amen
This country needs a strong leader in congress and Boehner is not that. Not only him but all the GOP leadership when in 2010 they gained control of the house they continue to allow obama are what ever his name is today to run over them. Holder needs to go along with obama the fake .
Boehner is a RINO and a Communist Marxist along with the Democrats! Many other Republicans are with them too! THEY ALL NEED TO BE REMOVED IN AN ARREST OF AN ILLEGAL COUP OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT AND STAND TRIAL BY JURY! OUR MILITARY LEADERS NEED TO TAKE ACTION IN ORDER TO DO IT!
hope the people of ohio have seen this mans tendancies to cave in to obama and the libs and will give him a real reason to cry in nov,being unemployed,this man has been in the house far to long and needs to go with the other rinos,people like him are a big part of the problem in washington,no balls to stand up against the enemy!
I really wish and pray that Boners Constituents have a Conservative Republican or Conservative Independent running against Boner!! That man has got to go!!
I guess now days folks in white house and congress can do what ever they please ..We American people that hired them have no say so any more …. I guess if they want to control all of us we are had its already starting to happen
Howdy,
I am very disgusted with both the Democrats and Republicans. I will be 72 in September 2012.My entire voting has been as a Democrat until the last Presidential election. I knew I could not vote for Hussein Obama. I viewed him then as a Muslim who was not eligible to be President because of hiding records of birth and schooling. I decided to become a Republican. Once again I have been thoroughly disappointed in our two party system. I think the Republicans should have presented evidence against Obama to have him impeached and removed from office. Where did our intestinal fortitude go when the Country really needed
it?
Dr. Ron Paul is ELECTABLE 2012!! Restore the constitution! No more undeclared wars, audit the fed! smaller government! He is not wishy washy like the Obama/Romney duo! Check out his website, Totally backed by veterans, and we the people you have to check him out as he is blacked out of lamestream media, he has to be patient every time to get a word in!
If/when Dr. Ron Paul makes a public issue of Obama’s lack of eligibility, forged birth certificate and Selective Service Registration, and stolen Social Security Number….
Boner is a royal POS and must be removed.
He is destroying the conservative party.
There is no conservative party. Only Democrat and Republican. America has been betrayed by both.
How many times do you people have to be told? They are all in it together. There is no differences in the power structure. The only hope for conservatives and patriots is to join the Constitution Party.
The bonehead whine-o RINO
The politicians are masters at their game.
Who writes the script, soros?
What does Holder/Obama have on John Boehner? Indict the Bastard.
You forget he knows how to cry along with his boners.
Obuma and Holder definitly have something on Boehner.Somewhere along the line they have the cry baby under their thumb.These are the RINOs we have to get rid of.boner has done a thing to stop Obuma from destroying America if anything he has given the enemy(Obuma & Holder )aid
