It's just a shame that Democrats are so hyperpartisan that they would deny the Terry family the answers they deserve in order to protect Holder.
People are getting sick and tired of the GOP and the right wing media
using the Terry family as a political football imo.

It's incredible we have a racist Attorney General and a President who covers up his corruption.

Just one brotha looking out for anotha.

What a sick statement to make.

The family has asked numerous time for answers. The Obama admin has turned their backs on them.

Nothing like having the support of your representative - oh, well maybe not.

Not above the law: Holder first U.S. Attorney General to be voted in Contempt of Congress

The congressman representing the district of the family of murdered border agent Brian Terry, Rep. John Dingell (D-MI), indicated he would vote against contempt.

In remarks prior to the vote, Rep. Issa (R-CA) said to Rep. Dingell: “When you say you represent Brian Terry, you do not.” Issa then read a statement from the Brian Terry family, which said that the only time they had heard from Dingell was one condolence letter.



... and from Holder...

Instead of trying to correct the problems that led to a series of flawed law enforcement operations, and instead of helping us find ways to better protect the brave law enforcement officers, like Agent Brian Terry, who keep us safe – they have led us to this unnecessary and unwarranted outcome….


It would be nice for Dingle to support people in his district, but it's about politics for him - I understand. Holder just has no conscience.

Just like 99% of the GOP is doing this for a witchhunt, not for constitutional principles.

Bush, like Holder should have be held in contempt.

But that vote went down along party lines.

This vote is going down not on party lines, but on left v right wing lines. Pretty much the same thing.


Funny, just like not one Republican voted for ObamaCare, it's all the Dems Baby.

Maybe you should read what they think ....from wikipedia.


Attorney General of Mexico Marisela Morales, well-liked by US law enforcement, said, "At no time did we know or were we made aware that there might have been arms trafficking permitted. In no way would we have allowed it, because it is an attack on the safety of Mexicans." In addition, she expressed that allowing weapons to "walk" would represent a "betrayal" of Mexico.[91]


Chihuahua state prosecutor Patricia Gonzalez, who had worked closely with the US for years, said, "The basic ineptitude of these officials [who ordered the Fast and Furious operation] caused the death of my brother and surely thousands more victims." Her brother, Mario, had been kidnapped, tortured and killed by cartel hit men in fall 2010. It was later revealed that his killers owned AK-pattern rifles traced to Fast and Furious.[2][91]

Yes, they don't have any issues with shooting people as long as they are Mexicans..... ooops and one American border agent.

But that's meaningless ... got to protect the party and the president at all costs.... what's a few Mexican lives after all.

So you prefer killing a few Mexicans? That's OK with you as long as it protects the president?

I don't think that? i think some of them actually have Heart! And put themselves in the place of the Brian Terry Family, and what if he were there Son.

I believe some actually want to find the truth, and bring closure to the Terry Family, which nothing else really matters except finding the truth for the Terry Family.

And i don't give a sh-t who is responsible, or how high up the screw ups does go. They were caught red handed, and not one freaking person, not Obama, Holder or anyone else who was responsible for this mess, is above any law.
So obvious, with this administration, they think they are above the law, no they are not, and Karma, is a *****~ the truth will come back at them ten fold. And Karma, wil come back and bite ya a good one.
