Looks like we may have a bipartisan contempt vote which would completely undermine the Democrat talking point that this is a partisan witch hunt:
FOX NEWS – The congressional contempt vote against Attorney General Eric Holder is looking more and more like a fait accompli, as House Speaker John Boehner presses ahead with a Thursday floor vote and conservative Democrats one-by-one announce they will side with Republicans.
At least five Democrats so far have said they plan to vote to hold Holder in contempt over his refusal to turn over Operation Fast and Furious documents. As many as 11 appear poised to break ranks, though sources earlier told Fox News that roughly 20 could do so.
Those Democrats are largely conservative-leaning lawmakers facing perilous political circumstances in their home districts. But regardless of motive, their support only increases the odds that the nation’s top law enforcement official will be held in contempt of Congress come Thursday.
Should this happen, the vote would touch off a whole new legal process — in which a U.S. attorney would be called upon to convene a
grand jury to consider the allegations and whether to indict, though with Holder at the helm it’s unclear how that would play out.
The last paragraph may not be accurate if Republicans take the advice of Mark Levin.
