Is Congressman Darrell Issa Wimping Out?

darrell issa Is Congressman Darrell Issa Wimping Out?

During the past week a number of Operation Fast and Furious watchers have been celebrating the notion that Congressman Darrell Issa’s February 14th letter to Eric Holder represents a last chance, comply or else, final offer to the gangster Attorney General.

Unfortunately, buying into such wishful thinking will result in nothing but disappointment as the Congressman has shown little in his dealings with the Attorney General over the past 6 months but a litany of empty threats and predictable retreats when they are ignored.

During his December 8th testimony before Issa’s House Government Reform Committee, Holder stated emphatically that his Department of Justice would NOT provide congress any Fast and Furious information dated later than February 4th of 2011. In support of that assertion he has prevented DOJ officials providing testimony to the House and ignored repeated requests for relevant letters and emails.

Perhaps such astounding arrogance should have surprised no one, for when the House at last filed a subpoena in October demanding the Department turn over approximately 80,000 Fast and Furious related documents, Holder ignored it, making clear even then that he had no intention of abiding by House demands.

And the House of Representatives—that is, the Republican Party—did nothing.

At the end of January, Deputy Attorney James Cole addressed a letter to Congress stating the Department of Justice in no way had the necessary TIME to comply with House requirements that it FINALLY turn over the documents subpoenaed 4 months earlier. This was in response to yet another Issa threat on January 27th to begin contempt proceedings against Holder should he fail to provide the material by a February 9th deadline.

And Issa reiterated that threat prior to the AG’s House testimony of Feb 2nd, stating once again there would be no choice but to initiate contempt proceedings should the documents demanded in the House subpoena not be produced.

Yet when February 9th passed without a single page having been turned over by the DOJ, rather than press ahead with a contempt filing, Darrell Issa provided Eric Holder and his minions an extension—an INDEFINITE extension, apparently “permitting” the most corrupt Attorney General in this nation’s history all the time in the world to continue his practice of ignoring the House and its subpoenas.

Holder and his criminal, White House boss KNOW Republicans haven’t the guts to file contempt charges against a black attorney general, just as they haven’t the backbone necessary to address the fact that there is a black, Manchurian candidate serving in the White House contrary to Constitutional requirements. Until Republicans somehow find the courage necessary to put the law and the Constitution of the United States above their all encompassing fear of the liberal media, Jesse Jackson and threats of rioting in the streets, the nation will continue to be subjected to the crippling agenda of an America hating, would-be dictator.

So don’t for a moment believe Darrell Issa will do anything more to Eric Holder than write threatening letters which the Regime no doubt post on its doors as material for daily ridicule. After all, it was the American people who voted these cowardly Republicans into office. And as is always the case, voters get what they deserve.

    Boehner the crybaby, the Hussain collaberator, has been talking to him! This is why the whole congress needs to be replaced along with Hussain! I can see nothing but evil in this govt.! It needs to be cleaned out starting at the top!

      Boehmer has led us down the bunny trail!! He has forsaken us completely. That is one fish that we should throw back in.

    It seems there is not ONE, not ONE, in the entire congress and senate who will stand up for the UNITED STATES AND OUR CONSTITUTION. I have come to the conclusion that it is all cut and dried, and nothing we do can change anything. This administration gets away with things that in another time, would be called treason. They pass health laws, which we the people, have nothing to say about. They are doing nothing about the guns sold to Mexican outlaws, our borders, they have turned against Israel, they are selling our gasoline to China, they are doing nothing about dead people voting, they are giving millions to things like Arab spring. God help us, no one else will.

    When Issa first started investigating I really thought he and the committee were serious but as time goes by I find my thinking to be wrong.This was for show and Holder knew it after all Obuma was behind him in lockstep
    This was done to show the public that we really cared about Holders Fast and Furious program that killed Agent Terry but at last we find out it was a ruse.Somehow John Boner,Obumas golf partner got to Issa and told him that the president wants this to go away and be a good soldier and he will let you kneel before him and kiss his ass the way we republicans do.Had this happened in the Bush presidency every lowlife democrat politician would be crying for AG Gonzalas head like they did for Scooter Libby whom Bush served up on a silver platter.

    Isn't 'wimp' his middle name?? He has shown no trace of 'balls' since put in this job!! What has he done that could be considered, notable?? Anyone can write letters!!
    Think about this…if YOU don't act positively and responsibly, SOON, there will be rioting in the streets, anyway, so you better take some necessary ACTION and pray that doesn't happen!! Blood in the streets is really messy and tough to clean up!!

    It's High time we straighten out or government

    Subj: Fwd: WATCH IMMEDIATELY – Congress knows Obama is not a natural born citizen
    EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS!!!
    Illegal Obama "Propped Up" By Congress! If you never watch another video, watch this one, this proves the Democrats(And some Republicans) know Obama is not an American and is serving illegally and unconstitutionally and the efforts they made are recorded in the Congressional Record, attempting to change the Constitution so he could serve legally.
    EVERYONE who cares about and loves this Constitutional Republic absolutely MUST watch and forward this video!!!!!! This one must go viral. I won't be surprised when the people of this country begin calling for an Impeachment. This guy and his cronies have been intentionally deceiving the American public and his friends in Congress have been propping him up.. Where are our elected representatives, especially the Tea Party candidates?

    It is astonishing and beyond belief that the Republican party has no one courageous enough, brave enough, to stand up for our Constitutional Republic and deliver our Nation from the evil that is openly and defyingly destroying all that our Founding fathers built and our Armies have sacrificed their blood to protect. Gutless, blind leaders of the blind, are helplessly, hopelessly giving it all away. Holder has committed treason, so has Obama. They have no fear that their defiance will be dealt with. If one man stands against them, he suddenly finds himself with no one at his back. The media will attack him and no one will stand up and give support. America is as good as gone.

    These gutless congressmen and women should be removed immediately if not sooner for letting the Constitution an oath they took to protect, defend, and preserve, is being trampled and kicked and sullied by these criminals who have been appointed by a non citizen who also disregards this oath as obsolete and in need of change. Well change may come but it won't be to the Constitution but to those who are its enemies and we all know who they are. time to kick ass and the hell with taking names. When are we vetertans going to stage a march to Occupy Washington and demand the removal of Holder, Pelosi, Biden, H.Clinton,Kagan and every czar and appointees this Obozo put in power over free Americans who are free no longer.

A BULLET DOES NOT PICK COLOR OR RACE.

    Honestly, I believe half the country would go to DC to protest this if they were able and gas was not so high.

  10. Warrior Princess says:

    Correction: “Regime” was accidentally left out of my first comment. I believe a lot of people would go to DC to protest this “regime” if gas was not so high. It is hard to understand the mindset of O’s supporters. Why would Black people vote for him when he hasn’t done anything to improve their employment status? Obama promotes illegal immigrants to come here from all over the planet. The millions of illegal Mexicans do employment damage to Americans who desperately seek work. This has certainly had a negative effect on all unemployed Americans. Why would any gun owners vote for O when his admin has done everything possible to scrap the 2nd amendment by excluding American rights and going thr the United Nations? Why would any environmentalists vote for O since he promotes illegal immigration when we already are overpopulated? Animals are forced out of their habitats and our eco system is being destroyed. Sewage systems in cities are age deteriorating and cities cannot afford replacement. Water treatment plants are not adequate enough to handle the population. Drought is destroying our agricultural production. Any fool should be able to see the damage brought on us by allowing all ppl possible to come here and multiply as the world pop approaches 7 billion. Why would anyone vote for O when he is bringing pain and suffering on our descendants and the all wild life and Mother Earth? We would have a chance if we had leadership and gov employees to represent Americans instead of treating us like second class ppl and peons. If all Americans, agitated by the regime, were able to go to DC to protest, about half of America would surely go. High gas prices are most favorable to protect our anti American lawless boss from our showing up in DC.

    It is like the old saw that birds of a feather all flock togather and this is the case here. Al so the saying that the powerful protect each other. I guess they all have so much corruption on each other that they would be like playing dominos. If they let one go down he would take no telling how many with him.If you recall what Fred Thompsom the senator from Lawrenceburg Tenn. said about his decision not to run for reelection? He said that he was so disallustoned,so disappointed with the way things were being done in our government that he didn't want to be part of it. I for one would have liked it better if he had been a little more of a patriot ant tried another term and tried to expose the grafters for what they were. I am sure Fred didn't need the money and he could have possiblely a big influnce in our government. He certainly would have been better than what we are expercened in the last 10 years or so. He was an country boy and i guess just too many morals for the likes of washington dc.

    If you think this is a mess, consider the following. Did you know just recently, BO the dictator, gave away a small island that belongs to the U.S., that has oil off the shore line, so Bo gave it to the Russians. More islands were just given to the Russians, I believe off of Alaska. Than our big fat pig commie, Janet, bimbo of homeland security just announced that any Muslim Brotherhood members could enter the U.S. without permission, without a passport, etc. So, forget fast and furious for the time being. America is about to have a fast and furious war throughout this country. He has left us wide open for a full scale attack from Iran, Russians, and the Muslims. Christian soldiers and Patriots get ready. Lock and load. I don't think we will have an election in November.

  13. SteveP says:

    Political correctness is mind control without critical thinking. Would there really be race riots if Holder was held in contempt? That is coercion? We need a new Sheriff in Washington DC. Someone who isn’t afraid to clean up the garbage. It obviously isn’t Darryl Issa.
