Finally.
House Oversight Committee chairman Darrell Issa plans to file a civil contempt suit against morally bankrupt Attorney General Eric Holder today for withholding documents related to the federal government’s deadly Fast and Furious gun-walking operation.
House voted to hold AG Holder in #contempt in June. House now goes to court, seeking DoJ to fork over #FastandFurious documents.

Hse suit against Holder is to compel DoJ to hand over #FastandFurious documents. Judicial branch must settle exec & leg branch dispute.

Operation Fast and Furious put thousands of guns into the hands of drug cartels in Mexico. Hundreds of Mexicans, U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jaime Zapata are dead, and Holder’s contemptible stonewalling has prevented Congress from conducting a complete inquiry.
But in liberal fantasy land — where the Left always retreats when faced with the truth — Eric Holder is the unimpeachable attorney general with a heart of gold. His refusal to cooperate is a non-issue and Rep. Issa, a stalwart fighter for justice and accountability, is the real problem.
@DarrellIssa You're an idiot and a fool, but then we all know that already.

The lives lost mean nothing to these vile ideologues. Forget justice for Brian Terry. Forget justice for hundreds of dead Mexicans. Forget that the Obama administration is blocking Congress from doing its job. Rep. Issa is apparently engaged in a racist witch hunt to prevent Holder from interfering with the GOP’s voter suppression efforts.
@adbridgeforth ♦#Issa suit against Eric Holder is a thinly veiled effort to tie him in knots so he can't stop GOP voter supression! #polltax

. @DarrellIssa His suits against voter suppression measures are really pissing you off, eh?

Disgusting.
Justice shouldn’t ever be a partisan fight. And yet, it’s only conservatives thanking Rep. Issa for his work on uncovering the details of Operation Fast and Furious.
@DarrellIssa Thank You for standing for justice for border agent Brian Terry, rule of law, accountability. Never stop fighting for freedom

US Border Agent Brian Terry not only took a bullet for America, but from America. How sick is that?
