House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi encouraged members of her caucus to “walk out” on a floor vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress over his failure to comply with a congressional subpoena related to Operation Fast and Furious documents.
“I’m very moved by the members of the Congressional Black Caucus who say they are going to walk out on this,” Pelosi said on the House floor Thursday afternoon. “Walk out on this. Perhaps that’s the best way.”
“I commend [Michigan Democratic Rep. John] Dingell for his leadership,” Pelosi added. “So we can get to the bottom of this and we can offer some solace to [slain Border Patrol agent] Brian Terry’s family.”
Dingell, the Terry family’s lifelong congressman, lost the trust of the Terry family on Thursday morning when he refused to support the contempt of Congress charges against Holder. The family said Dingell abandoned them.
“I myself said I was coming to this floor to vote against this resolution,” Pelosi continued, before saying she has now flip-flopped and will walk out herself. “I want to join my CBC colleagues when we have the walkout after we have the debate on Mr. Dingell’s [resolution].”
“I urge my colleagues to vote ‘no’ or not vote,” Pelosi added. “It’s Eric Holder one day, you don’t know who it is the next.”
In response to Pelosi’s threats, House oversight committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa said the reason why Holder is going to be held in contempt is “he’s custodian of the records” related to Fast and Furious that he’s refused to turn over.

Funny. The Terry family wants to get to the bottom of it too, yet the shithead Dems are stonewalling everything all while claiming that they want to get to the bottom of it. I'm convinced that just about 100% of people in office with a D by their name need to be hanged and probably 97% of the ones with Rs do too.How do we forget ourselves? How do we forget our minds?

Originally posted by The Geofster View PostHis Justice Department won't. I think they'll let it go until after the election then see what happens. If Obama gets re-elected, they will get special counsel. If Romney gets the nod, they'll prosecute under his administration.I wear a Fez. Fez-es are cool

Originally posted by Forever_frost View PostI doubt it. If Barry gets reelected then I agree. But if Romney gets in, nothing will happen. It's one of those agreements you don't prosecute the previous administrationHow do we forget ourselves? How do we forget our minds?

Originally posted by CJ View PostSome of what he did was acceptable, he also ushered in the (second) largest domestic bills spending of all time. Remember how the media constantly painted Bush as being a dunce and an idiot? Let me ask you, does Obama look even dumber without ANY of the media cooperation? That says something doesn't it?I wear a Fez. Fez-es are cool
