The congressional contempt vote against Attorney General Eric Holder is looking more and more like a fait accompli, as House Speaker John Boehner presses ahead with a Thursday floor vote and conservative Democrats one-by-one announce they will side with Republicans.
At least four Democrats so far have said they plan to vote to hold Holder in contempt over his refusal to turn over Operation Fast and Furious documents. Sources told Fox News that roughly 20 are likely to break ranks.
Those Democrats are largely conservative-leaning lawmakers facing perilous political circumstances in their home districts. But regardless of motive, their support only increases the odds that the nation's top law enforcement official will be held in contempt of Congress come Thursday.
Should this happen, the vote would touch off a whole new legal process -- in which a U.S. attorney would be called upon to convene a grand jury to consider the allegations and whether to indict, though with Holder at the helm it's unclear how that would play out.
The two sides also will likely continue to battle over the documents at the heart of the dispute as President Obama tries to lock them down by claiming executive privilege.
Several Democrats indicated Wednesday they don't buy that argument.
"While Republicans and Democrats argue over the scope of the people's right to know what happened, the attorney general has decided to withhold relevant documents," Rep. John Barrow, D-Ga., said in a statement announcing he would support the contempt resolution. "The only way to get to the bottom of what happened is for the Department of Justice to turn over the remaining documents, so that we can work together to ensure this tragedy never happens again."
Other Democrats to announce an anti-Holder stance include Reps. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va.; Collin Peterson, D-Minn.; and Jim Matheson, D-Utah.
Matheson said the public, Congress and the family of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry -- whose murder scene included weapons from the botched anti-gunrunning operation -- "deserve answers."

It was an obviously a failed, and stupid program that should cost Holder his job. As usual, most of the democrats will do all they can to keep this imbecile in his job, but at least some democrats can see the light.

Quite simply, there's a fundamental misconception at the heart of the Fast and Furious scandal. Nobody disputes that suspected straw purchasers under surveillance by the ATF repeatedly bought guns that eventually fell into criminal hands. Issa and others charge that the ATF intentionally allowed guns to walk as an operational tactic. But five law-enforcement agents directly involved in Fast and Furious tell Fortune that the ATF had no such tactic. They insist they never purposefully allowed guns to be illegally trafficked. Just the opposite: They say they seized weapons whenever they could but were hamstrung by prosecutors and weak laws, which stymied them at every turn.
Indeed, a six-month Fortune investigation reveals that the public case alleging that Voth and his colleagues walked guns is replete with distortions, errors, partial truths, and even some outright lies. Fortune reviewed more than 2,000 pages of confidential ATF documents and interviewed 39 people, including seven law-enforcement agents with direct knowledge of the case.

This shouldnt have anything to do with Obama or being a Democrat. It is what was wrong with the whole operation. It has nothing to do with the NRA or what political affiliate you are associated with in Congress. Obama wanted him to stick around and it will make the President look bad within a few months of us voting for his re-election or not. Holder is a mess and I applaud anyone that looks at this independently and vote their brain and not their affiliation.

yeah, Obama is really a conservative. You forgot some things like promised transparancy, illegal alien amnesty, broken promises on the economy, higher gas prices, etc. Maybe we should go back and find things Bushy did that were liberal and wonder why you dislike him. How about that Prescription medicine program for the elderly? Bilions of dollars in overcost.
Also, dont act like Dems call out their own. We have discussed this in the past about a certain Dem Congressman fondling over a teenage boy and all he got was censored. BFD!

Also whether your dem or repub, if you get lied to you should be pissed. It's not about if the program was a bad idea as much as it is Holder lied about how much he knew. His emails proved that pretty much.
If there is nothing to hide then why claim executive priviledge. You only do that to protect something. Unless there really is some national security issue with Mexico that we just aren't seeing.
The thing is we give the president the benefit of the doubt in these situations. But after Clinton use it just to cover an affair you wonder sometimes now.

It is about holding people responsible for directly aiding criminal syndicates in carrying out terrorism and crime. As attorney general Holder is responsible for the oversight of the ATF and other agencies and if he had knowledge of a program such as the gunwalker operations he should be held responsible for not putting a stop to it.
These documents will either exhonorate him by showing he had insufficient knowledge of the program to stop it until it was carried out or it will show he failed to do his job in which case he should be kicked out at the very least.

For the record, it wasn't until Obama was sworn in that the repukes started to voice their "concerns" about spending and deficits.

Show me one post that states that I was a George W. fan. Just one. Oh that is right, you can't because probably for the 100th time, I have told you and others (I bet they can remember this one), I didn't vote for Bush in the first primaries and his reelection I did not vote for him. I knew he wasn't a conservative enough fiscally and he proved it well.
Are you sure you want to go there?
Then everyone would see how you and the rest of the goose stepping righties on the Mane covered Dumbya's flank every step of the way.

Yes, a bigger voice should have been out and about and there were very few. Ron Paul was one. Why the Tea Party would be more legit if they were well established when Bush was president. They will get more of my attention if they keep up their rant on Romney if he fails to do cuts. Oh, this is all news to you since I have stated this many times.
Can't believe you really want to go there - considering the ratio of ~10,000 gay pedophile repukes for every dem.

Good to know you are using those great talking points that Obama keeps using. 4 years later we still have the high unemployment, higher deficit and even higher gas prices. Didn't Obama say that this would all be lower when he was running for president?

If you honestly believe the astronomical damage done by Bush and the repukes can be fixed in four years, then you are smoking dirt weed.
It took Clinton eight years to pay down the debt created by Red Ink and Poppy (which was small change compared to Junior's thievery.)
BTW, if Obama is a "socialist" as you and your fellow Fox parrots claim, then wouldn't he have already nationalized the oil companies by now (or at least tried?)

Any thread about electing Bush had me against him. Only time I voted for him was in the first election. In the Republicna primaries, I voted against him. Dont give me the BS of me finding the threads or posts as you are the one that claims I was a Bush fan. Far from it. If you are going to accuse someone for the 100th time (and I have told you each and everytime I didn't like Bush), have your facts to back it up. Agreeing with items from Bush doesn't mean I approved overall of his presidency. I know you forgot this gem too but I was against the Iraq war all along! Who knew? Oh, everyone here. Not one person has accused me of being a Bush supporter or for the war except YOU!
On to your excuse for Obama, he promised these things in his presidency! No way I would want to give him another 4 years to use executive order, raise taxes now that he will be a lame duck president, etc. He hasn't lowered the deficit, he raised it! At least he stuck to ending the wars in a timely matter. Few and far between in my eyes. Enjoy Holder. He is another Chicago 'Good Ole Boy' for Obama and friends.

Being aligned with Republicans doesn't mean I agree with all of Bush's policies. Yes, I voted for him once my guy lost out in the primary in 2000. Him or Mr. Internet and I went with Bush. When there is a forum debate, it isn't just on Bush this or that. It is on ideology of the parties. As for proof, I have stated I was against the Iraq war all along. How can I prove I was against it from the beginning when I didnt join until 2004? I was always for the Afghanistan War as that is where the Taliban were located. I remember watching the excuses Bush, Powell and Rice were trying to give to the American people. One that tipped me over was them trying to prove their point when the UN finally found two war heads buried in some commercial lot. Far from Weapons of Mass Destruction!
So, if you want the proof, find some thread after 2004. It won't do any good as it will be after the fact. Why show you anyways? You will forget the facts and still accuse me of being for the Iraq War and voting for Bush... for the 101st time.

No criminal prosecution of Holder for contempt
Washington (CNN) -- The White House and the Justice Department made clear Friday what had been expected all along: Attorney General Eric Holder will not face criminal prosecution under the contempt of Congress citation passed by the U.S. House.
Legal experts noted this week in the runup to Thursday's House vote that President Barack Obama's assertion of executive privilege in the case would prevent a criminal prosecution under a practice dating to the Reagan administration.
The House also cited Holder for civil contempt to give it the option of filing a lawsuit compelling Holder to turn over documents sought by Oversight Committee investigators linked to the failed Operation Fast and Furious weapons crackdown. Such a case was expected to take years to complete.

Thigh slapper is you constantly aligning myself with 1) Bush supporter and 2) Pro Iraq War. Your memory is slipping how many times I have told you about those two things. Yeah, I voted for Bush in the general election over Gore. BFD! Hell, I am sure many Democrats voted for Bush over Gore. It was the choice over two evils. I also went 3rd party last two elections because I could stand McCain and Bush. Let me know next time a Union backs a Republican? Rarely even when it is the benefit of the Union to have a Republican in office (like Space/military industry in 1980). That is a group that goes with the Democrat flow.
As for your Bush lemmings comment, those that I am in agreement with are for Conservative causes. If that lines me up with Bush or those that back Bush could be two different things. I know your memory is hsot but I have been on the other side of Drama threads when he puts something that is probably out in left field. Anyone that backs a party just for the sake of it, is a joke. That happens on both sides so don't be jumping on your high horse. I could be including you in that group too.

I like to bare my arms, but where I live, I have to be careful to apply sunscreen first.
Ha!

(@ LA BF'er)... dude you have blamed me for backing the war for years just like loving Bush. Why would I have to prove anything to you? If you love to forget that I was opposed to both, find it yourself. Until then, try to remember that I have told you about this probably 100 times (or that it seems that many times). Like I said, you are the only one here that has blamed me for backing both...
You should stop trying to make sense to LA BF'er, just like there's no point trying to teach a worm to sit up. Better to leave it at "you're a fqn 'tard", "blatant liar" or "epic lib shill" to consolidate the argument for others since even those simple and direct staements are beyond LA BF'ers comprehensional abilities.
Option 'B' is to post pictures, as that seems to be the only language he can relate to.

Really?
If your memories of these alleged exchanges are so clear, then why can't you quote them here for all to see?
L0L! :laugh:
You're kidding, right?
LOL, so what is it, you telling me you keep lining me up with everyone or we never had those exchanges? I already found a 2006 post on the Iraq War and posted the link. No one else has said one ioda about me backing the War or Pro Bush....except you. I will go with the majority here to prove my point. Your problem is you never think you are wrong. Even something trivial as this, you can't say, "I keep forgetting you didn't like the Iraq War and you weren't a Pro Bush supporter. I am sorry." No way, that could never happen with you.
As for Democrats voting for Bush the first time around, you really think Southern Democrats weren't voting for Bush to help him win the election? After all, Bush is from Texas.

How many times do I have to tell you?
I've never discussed the Iraq war with you!
Therefore, I couldn't have made the statements you claim I made about your support for the war or lack thereof.
Once again, if you are going to claim that such discussions took place then the burden of proof is on you.

Shouldn't you work on getting some sort of handle on basic literacy before you try to post on Internet discussion forums?

It's your typical story. If this happened with a republican in the WH, the liberals would be wanting numerous hearings, firings, and jail for anyone that was even breathing near this fiasco, but since a democrat is in the WH, we can take their word for it there was nothing shady going on and go home. Then go on to the more honest "reporting" of how Bush started wildfires and Romney wants to take food from your kids and other unbiased "news."

Iraq cost 1-2% of GDP. WW2 cost 45-50% of the GDP. The Iraq war and it's 900 billion dollar bill is not to blame for the economy. It was actually cheap when you compare it to other big wars.

You didn't really just compare Iraq to WWII, did you?
