"Darkness cannot be dissipated with more darkness.
A showdown meeting Tuesday between U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and the House Oversight Committee chairman failed to resolve their dispute, which could result in a contempt vote against the nation's top prosecutor.

Holder and Rep. Darrell Issa, R-California, met for about 40 minutes to discuss Issa's demand for more documents relating to Operation Fast and Furious, a botched federal firearms sting operation that allowed weapons to reach Mexican drug gangs.

After the meeting, Issa told reporters that Holder has yet to provide the documents sought by the panel. Unless at least some of the documents are handed over before the committee meets Wednesday morning, it will proceed in considering a contempt measure, Issa said.

what does that mean, contempt vote? Does that mean they'll just tell him, "You're an asshole!" Or will he maybe face prison time?
 
This is bullshit.

"Executive Privilege" must be the term for the action taken when the President bends his own laws just far enough to let the rich and the powerful through.
