Committee votes to hold Eric Holder in contempt over Fast and Furious

well, okay then!

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Wednesday voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress despite a last-minute intervention by President Obama.

By a vote of 23 to 17 after nearly six hours of tense discussion, the bipartisan committee voted for contempt over the Justice Department's decision to withhold documents related to Operation Fast and Furious that were subpoenaed by the committee in their investigation of the failed gunwalking operation.

The votes were sharply divided along partisan lines with all Republicans voting for and all Democrats voting against contempt.

The measure now moves to the full House for a vote, which Republicans say will be scheduled for next week. read the rest

Here it is: Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) blasting Obama at the hearings today (a 'must see" video)...

thanks to the Blaze.

Wow!! Trey Gowdy (R-SC) is my new hero...

really!

I can't wait for the Youtube video of his speech at the contempt hearings.

More of my thoughts:  These people in congress who are protecting Eric Holder should be in cells next to Mr. Holder and the SCoaMF.

Allow me to sum up the arguments.

Lefties:  We need more gun control on the citizens.

Our side:  Brian Terry's family needs answers and so does the American public.

Ummmm, correct me if I'm wrong, but it wasn't American citizens that gave guns to the Mexicans. 

Conclusion?  Eric Holder needs more than a contempt charge. He should be in prison and the president should be occupying the cell right next to him.
