House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa plans to sue Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday for refusing to provide documents related to the "Fast and Furious" gun-smuggling operation.
"The committee expects to file the civil contempt suit against the attorney general Monday," a Republican source said. The suit will be filed in the federal district court for the District of Columbia.
The action is the latest escalation in the dispute between House Republicans and the Justice Department over the documents, which relate to a botched gun-smuggling operation.
On June 28, the House voted to hold Holder in contempt of Congress and authorized the Oversight panel to bring suit to enforce its rights.
In Fast and Furious, agents for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives allowed assault guns to "walk," which meant ending surveillance on weapons suspected to be en route to Mexican drug cartels.

If there is nothing to hide he would have already released the documents in my books.

Some day this multimillionaire, tea bagging ass-visor is going to get his.Plus his braying jack-ass committee member, Raul The Jaw Labrador. My hopes is if you piss off the DOJ chief, eventually, bad things will happen. Altho Eric is somewhat of a wimp.

Car alarm salesman Daryl Issa going off again for no reason. This House is pathetic, unproductive, and pointless---just like a car alarm going off in a shopping center parking lot.
Eric Holder and Obama should treat his law suit just like that annoying car alarm going off in that parking lot for no reason---just ignore it---its all you can do.
