MUCH worse... In the Watergate scandal, nobody was murdered.

You are seriously deluded if you believe what you are saying. Holder has been ignoring Congress, that is why he being held in contempt.

Holder probably authorized some of the worst judgement ever in an AG and he is covering it up by refusing to divulge details to Congress. This is a true conspiracy within our justice system and the truth needs to be set free.

@crispymidget ignorant of defense? I live in east Tenneessee. I am somgoddamned armed against my state govt that you wouldn't believe it. It's a damn shame that I can't just enjoy my freedoms. Even worse when it's the dipshits that we hired to protect them are the ones taking them.

actually I can unload the m16 clip and then switch to my side arm.... obviously you're ignorant of combat and defense

Obviously you haven't read the article. Do that and get back to me.

Issa doesn't have enough manhood in his chickenshit little self to equal the courage of a small school girl. I'd whip his ass on sight and so would my mom.

Once again, the goddamned NRA is behind all the dumb shit. They are the only organization that can scare STUPID people into purchasing more guns. Don't you assholes see, you can only shoot one gun at a time. Obama doesn't want your goddamned guns, you fucking idiots. The NRA wants to sell you guns. Now shut the fuck up and go buy as many guns as you want. You can only shoot one. And listen, the NRA is coming out with a gun that shoots ghosts too. You better get one of those you dumbass.

This is not about right or left and when the hell are people like you going to get that through your skull? Obama is no different than Bush, but u obama lovers refuse to see that. All you can do is use disgustting words to get your inane thoughts out and it shows how incapable u are of facing reality.  Bush was a criminal & so is Obama. They r both liars and schemers & should hang their heads in shame. They have no moral compass, no regard for their duty and no care for the American people.

if the investigation is a fraud, then why are holder and Obama running scared by refusing to turn over documents ??? If you have nothing to hide, why act like your guilty? Somebody gave permission for this operation to take place and it was a disaster so now those who gave it the green light must answer for their actions. Not just holder and obama but those under them as well, but plain and siimple the buck stops with obama and his administration.

Posters here need to read the Fortune magazine article "The truth about the Fast and Furious scandal"

It details how the whole Issa/republic party campaign against Holder is a fraud.

The guns were "run" because of lax laws that allow, in some States, anyone to buy as many guns as they want. The ATF tried to stop those who bought dozens of guns from reselling them into Mexico but prosecutors told them our laws wouldn't allow their prosecution. The real problem here is the NRA.

The small rat is just trying to protect the big Rat who is hiding in the WH. The big Rat in turn is asserting executive privilege to protect the small rat which is very convenient. That's what transparency is in the Obama world...what a big joke!

Of course, the contempt vote is more about Holder's refusal to turn over documents (that were subpenaed in October 2011) related to the fact that the DOJ lied about gunwalking in a Feb. 4th, 2011 letter which was not retracted for ten months. Why did they lie for ten months? Are they just that incompetent? If you read the interview transcripts, plenty of people high-up should have known about it! Lanny Breuer sent an attorney (Joe Cooley) to a briefing on F&F in March 2010!
