Coming Up on 'This Week': Rep. Darrell Issa on 'Fast and Furious'
Rep. Darrell Issa is interviewed on "This Week."
June 22, 2012— -- House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., the man at the center of the epic stand-off with the White House and Justice Department over documents in the "Fast and Furious" investigation, speaks with ABC News Senior White House Correspondent Jake Tapper, Sunday on "This Week."
As the White House invoked executive privilege for the first time over the release of documents on the gun-walking operation that led to the death of a U.S. border patrol agent, Issa's committee charged forward Wednesday by voting Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, with an unprecedented full House vote on contempt possible next week.
With battle lines drawn, can any compromise be reached over the release of more documents to congressional investigators before an historic full contempt vote against the nation's top attorney? Was the White House justified in invoking executive privilege, or has it failed in its promises of transparency? Is Issa's months-long push for more documents warranted, or is the investigation a "political witch hunt" during an election year, as his critics charge?
