Holder's Refusal to Cooperate 'Unconscionable'

Statement

Date: Aug. 24, 2012

House Republicans last week asked a federal court to compel Attorney General Holder to turn over documents examining how the botched gun-running operation, Fast and Furious, ended with the death of a U.S. border agent. To this point, Holder has continued to ignore Congress' contempt order and stonewalled investigators.

With the volatile situation on the southern border, we cannot afford the continued path of avoidance, denial, and non-compliance with the law. It is unconscionable that the federal government is, on the one hand, completely neglecting its responsibility to protect American citizens on our southwest border, while on the other, exacerbating the problem with ill-advised law enforcement tactics.
