House Holds Holder in Contempt [VIDEO]

The House of Representatives has passed a resolution holding Attorney General Eric Holder in criminal contempt of Congress.  The vote was 255-67, with one member voting “present.”

FOX News Radio’s Rich Johnson reports from Washington:

The family of Brian Terry, the Border Patrol agent shot & killed by Mexican drug cartel bandits using guns from the “Fast and Furious” operation, released the following statement after the contempt vote:

“The Terry family takes no pleasure in the contempt vote against Attorney General Eric Holder.  Such a vote should not have been necessary. The Justice department should have released the documents related to Fast and Furious months ago.

“Eric Holder’s refusal to do so and President Obama’s assertion of executive privilege have stood in the way of justice and the answers we seek into the death of fallen Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.

“Given the Obama Administration’s steadfast refusal to level with the American people, Congress was left with no choice but to vote Mr. Holder in contempt.”
