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.

in which guns were allowed to "walk" from Arizona to Mexico in hopes they could be tracked.

This is a lie. There were no hopes these guns could be tracked. There were no tracking devices. Only way they got "Tracked" was when police found them at crime scenes.

Hopefully, as ALIPAC supporters you know all about the details of this great betrayal. If you do not know the details then please post on our forums or email us and bring yourself up to speed quickly.

A successful contempt vote against Eric Holder could blow the lid off this scandal, break through the media containment attempts, and help us derail Obama's unlawful and unconstitutional dictatorial Amnesty decree! We predicted a year ago that Fast and Furious could destroy Obama and now many more powerful people are agreeing with us and our leadership on this issue.

'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?
