FAST AND MORE FURIOUS: Evidence shows that Eric Holder knows more than he’s let on
As your Oversight Watchdog, I am your eyes and ears when it comes to uncovering government corruption.  I want to take a moment to update you on the investigation into Attorney General (AG) Eric Holder and the Department of Justices’ failed Fast and Furious gun-running operation, as well as the status of the contempt of Congress proceedings. 

As you may know, I’ve had the opportunity to voice my outrage over the stonewalling tactics that AG Holder has employed in his attempts to cover up this failed operation. I’ve also had the opportunity to question him directly during an Oversight and Government Reform (OGR) Committee hearing.  In that hearing I asked the Attorney General very straight-forward questions as to when exactly he knew Fast Furious guns were involved in the murder of Officer Brian Terry.  As has been his previous position, he denied knowing that Fast and Furious guns were involved in the incident.  Click on the photo below to view my questions to AG Holder.

However, last week OGR Committee members obtained wiretaps showing that Attorney General Holder knew more about Operation Fast and Furious than he previously admitted under oath. OGR Committee Chairman Darrell Issa sent a letter last week to AG Holder outlining the continued misinformation and lies by top DOJ officials to Congress.  These previously subpoenaed wiretaps answer some questions the Committee has as to who knew what, and when they knew it. To date, Holder has not responded to this letter. CLICK HERE to read the letter sent by the OGR Committee to Attorney General Holder. 

THE CASE FOR CONTEMPT
Yesterday, OGR Committee Chairman Darrell Issa announced that the OGR Committee will convene next Wednesday to consider a contempt of Congress report for Attorney General Eric Holder. This should come as no surprise to the Department of Justice and AG Holder. Contempt is a formal process that Congress uses to enforce compliance with its subpoenas. The end result- if it is passed out of the House of Representatives- is that the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia would be told to enforce the production of documents.

LISTENING SESSION
This week, I’ll be hosting another Listening Session in South Texas and I hope you’ll take the opportunity to join me.  I always look forward to hearing your ideas and answering your questions on how to help small businesses create jobs, reduce the size of the federal government and get the economy moving again.
