Politico reports
Hearing of Issa’s “plan to spend more of [his] time and our precious tax dollars on contempt charges against Attorney General Eric Holder,” Maisch wrote, only reminded her of painful memories from the “political games” following the Tucson shooting.What's your opinion? Could it be that all the attention placed on the Fast and Furious scandal is a diversion more than anything else?
Holder was the “only one talking about the need for common sense gun laws, including a better background check system and tougher laws to fight gun trafficking,” she continued, according to the letter obtained by POLITICO.
“While we cannot turn on our televisions without hearing about ‘Fast & Furious,’ neither Congress nor the President have taken any action to fix the system,” Maisch wrote in a letter to Issa and Oversight Committee ranking member Elijah Cummings (D-Md.). “In the year and a half since that horrible day, the failings of our legislators to take even one single step to help prevent more senseless murders, is more than a disappointment to us, it is a slap in our collective faces.”
That's what I thought from the very beginning.
