Boehner: House will go ahead with contempt vote
Boehner: House will go ahead with contempt vote
By LAURIE KELLMAN | Associated Press – 2 hrs 38 mins ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — Speaker John Boehner (BAY'-nur) says the House will move forward with a contempt of Congress vote against Attorney General Eric Holder over the botched gun-tracking operation known as Fast and Furious.
The Ohio Republican told reporters Wednesday that last-minute talks with the White House about releasing documents had failed to avert the vote. President Barack Obama has asserted executive privilege to keep the documents secret, but Republicans say there's no basis for that.
The issue has political implications this election year. The National Rifle Association is keeping score, prompting some Democrats to join Republicans in voting for contempt. Such a citation would not cause the release of more documents on the operation, in which guns were allowed to "walk" from Arizona to Mexico in hopes they could be tracked.

'would not cause release of more documents'
Am I reading this correctly?
What is the use of holding Holder in contempt if it will NOT cause the release of the documents in question?Join our FIGHT AGAINST illegal immigration & to secure US borders by joining our E-mail Alerts at http://eepurl.com/cktGTn
