More on the Gunwalker Project.   Some may dislike Congressman Issa, but it looks like he's not going to take crap from the ATF.

Kenneth E. Melson, acting director of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has “blown past” yesterday’s deadline for the delivery of key documents relating to the Project Gunrunner inquiry that was launched recently by Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA), chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform

Impressed yet befogged, they grasped at his vivid leading phrases, seeing only their surface meaning, and missing the deeper current of his thought.

Everyone that can be connected to the "go ahead let the sale happen" should be tried for murder. Period. No if's, ands, or buts.

*I won't be holding my breath. Those animals up in ATF/DOJ land are more equal than us.

I guess we'll know soon whether we still have any remnants of a Constitutional Republic actually left.  So what happens when ATF ignores the subpoena?

Probably about as much as has happened to Obama for ignoring a court ordewr to end the foot dragging on issuing drilling permits in the Gulf.  Not a damn thing.  And, to date, 12 rigs have pulled up and moved elsewhere.  They might be back in 10 or 12 years.

A vote can be held to hold them in contempt. What being in contempt of congress entails I do not know.

Look at Charlie Rangels censure, that will give you an idea of how a contempt vote would go.
