House Oversight Committee Votes 23-17 To Hold Eric Holder In Contempt of Congress




(CNN) - Voting on strictly partisan lines, a House committee recommended Wednesday that Attorney General Eric Holder be cited for contempt of Congress for failing to turn over documents relating to the botched Fast and Furious weapons sting operation. 
The measure now goes to the full House for consideration, expected next week, of what would be an unprecedented event – Congress holding a sitting attorney general in contempt.
UNPRECEDENTED.

Glossed over on our local D.C. news channels tonight.

Barely mentioned.

Amazing. This is a historic event. How does the media gloss over Congress holding the AG of the US in contempt?

And not a peep from the mainstream media. Pathetic.
