Issa Threatens Obama Admin with Contempt Proceedings

Ben Johnson,FloydReports.com

Congressman Darrell Issa is threatening the Obama administration with contempt hearings if it continues to stonewall his investigation of the Bureau of Alcohol,Tobacco,and Firearms (ATF). In a letter Issa sent ATF Director Ken Melson earlier today,the California Republican blasted the agency for failing to meet the April 13 deadline for his subpoena. Issa,the chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform,is investigating Project Gunrunner and Operation Fast and Furious —two ATF programs that may have cost the lives of two federal agents.

Assistant Attorney General Ronald Welch refused to comply with a subpoena Issa handed down on March 31,citing the Justice Department’s “ongoing criminal investigations.”Issa retorted,“We are not conducting a concurrent investigation with the Department of Justice,but rather an independent investigation of the Department of Justice.”

His letter revealed that Issa had obtained a document proving two AK-47s sold through Project Gunrunner —but never tracked by the ATF —were found near the murder scene of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry last December.
