The Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee told Attorney General Eric Holder in a statement today that he has the choice to “come clean” or force “conflict” over the draft contempt resolution on Operation Fast and Furious.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) congratulated House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) for moving forward with his case for a contempt of Congress resolution against Holder.
“The Attorney General and the Justice Department are thumbing their nose at the constitutional authority provided to the legislative branch to conduct oversight,” Grassley said.
“The Attorney General is facing a real test of leadership here. He has a choice to make. He can force the department to come clean, or he can force a high-stakes political conflict between the legislative and executive branches,” the senator added.
“It’s past time to hold accountable those public officials responsible for our own government’s role in walking guns into the hands of criminals. The family of Agent Terry deserves more than what they’re getting from this administration.”
Neither Holder nor Sebelius (or any in the Obama cabal) seems particularly familiar with the phrase “coming clean”.
Only spin and dissembling in service to the boss’ agenda.
We should all be very concerned that mo matter what the cleanly cataloged legal niceties against Holder and maybe eventually Obama turn out to be, there will remain the large possibility that Obama will be re-elected by the large “disadvantaged Black bloc” and their liberal sympathizers who really couldn’t care less about what the Law says about Contempt of Congress.
Then it’ll really become a contest of wills. Accusations, vote recounts, any and all minutiae will be dragged around. We’ll see the hidden nasty side of Holder/Obama who’ll consider the stakes so high that any means justifies the re-election of Obama.
Bush/Gore in Florida will then be considered a Dress Rehearsal.
Right now we’re witnessing a terrible example and precedent in America for Black “leadership”. It’ll be like a second Reconstruction if Obama isn’t defeated.
