Congress is in the midst of a five-week summer recess, but that won’t stop some GOP lawmakers from filing a lawsuit against Attorney General Eric Holder.
Last week, House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., told NBC News that Republican members of Congress will sue Holder to compel the release documents associated with the failed “Fast and Furious” gun-walking operation. In June, the House voted to hold Holder in contempt, but a U.S. attorney declined to prosecute Holder.
“We’ll be filing a civil case during the break,” Issa told NBC, “We will expect a day in court before a federal judge, which we have a 100 percent chance that the judge will hold that these documents should be delivered.”
