ICYMI: The real story behind the Fast and Furious “scandal”

The Congressional Black Caucus is planning to walk off the House floor during the vote to hold AG Holder in contempt. Good.

Via Politico, here’s part of their letter:

“We adamantly oppose this partisan attack and refuse to participate in any vote that would tarnish the image of Congress or of an attorney general who has done nothing but work tirelessly to protect the rights of the American people. … We call upon all members of Congress to stand with us during a press conference on the Capitol Building steps during this appalling series of votes to discuss our nation’s most significant priority–creating jobs. … Instead of focusing on job creation and other critical issues before this Congress, we have been asked to engage in a political stunt on the floor of the United States House of Representatives.”

One part is worth repeating: “Instead of focusing on job creation and other critical issues before this Congress, we have been asked to engage in a political stunt on the floor of the United States House of Representatives.”

This is nothing but a witch hunt designed to embarrass the president in an election year, is going nowhere, and Darrell Issa knows it.
