"The American people have a right to know what happened," Boehner said on CBS' Face The Nation, adding that a suit could come over "the next several weeks." The lawsuit would be spearheaded by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., who chairs the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Attorney General Eric Holder, held in civil and criminal contempt of Congress on a House vote last week, has said his department has turned over thousands documents, and that Issa and some Republicans are playing politics with the Fast and Furious incident.
Because of the contempt vote, "an unnecessary court conflict will ensue," Holder said recently. "My efforts to resolve this matter short of such a battle were rebuffed by Congressman Issa and his supporters." At Holder's request, President Obama asserted executive privilege on the House's most recent document requests, setting up a potential legal battle. Appearing this morning on CNN's State of the Union, White House chief of staff Jack Lew said that "this is about a (House) committee that is on a path towards turning a review of policy into a political witch hunt."
The House is looking into "Fast and Furious," a failed gun trafficking operation that allowed hundreds of firearms to fall into the hands of violent drug cartel enforcers in Mexico. Two such weapons were found at the site of the murder of a U.S. border patrol agent. In votes last week largely on party lines, the House held Holder in both criminal and civil contempt of Congress. The Justice Department said Friday that it would not prosecute Holder on the criminal contempt citation. The civil contempt vote clears the way for a House lawsuit against the Obama administration.

The House voted Thursday to hold White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten and former White House lawyer Harriet Miers in contempt in its probe of the 2006 firings of U.S. attorneys.
The House voted 223-23 to hold the two Bush aides in contempt of Congress.
Three Republicans who did not take part in the walkout -- including current presidential hopeful Ron Paul of Texas -- supported the resolution, while one Democrat, Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar, opposed it.

Hopefully they stay out. And the left says that they don't continually play the race card.
There's nothing about "Fast and Furious" in that tape. Quite the opposite..it was about "Project Gunrunner".
