Issa threatens contempt charges in gunwalker probe
Rep. Darrell Issa has tired of waiting for the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms to respond to his subpoenas in the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee's probe of the ATF gunwalker scandal. In a letter today to ATF's director, Issa warned of contempt proceedings if the DoJ and White House continue their refusal to comply with subpoenas, and pointedly explained why the DoJ's current investigation isn't germane to the issue:

For the first time since Republicans took control of the House and gained the power of congressional subpoena, the Obama administration has declined to comply with a subpoena issued by top GOP oversight official Rep. Darrell Issa.

In the face of a subpoena by Issa, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) provided no documents by the April 13 deadline, according to an April 20 letter from Issa to ATF's director, Kenneth Melson.

Issa is threatening contempt proceedings if ATF does not comply.
First simple step, Defund the ATF.
As the T-shirt says, ATF should be a convenience store, not a government agency.
