Eric Holder has two bad choices:  Owning up to the disaster that is Fast & Furious and then inviting the President to fire him.  Or, lying about the disaster that is Fast & Furious and seeing how long he can last before the President invites him to resign.

Congressman Darrell Issa (R) California has ordered the Attorney General of the United States to be subpoenaed, as well as several of his deputies, and demands that communications relating to the failed Fast & Furious gun-running scandal be turned over to his congressional oversight committee.

In the new subpoena, congressional investigators will apparently demand information regarding the investigation into the death of U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry. Two guns found at Terry’s crime scene were linked to the failed operation that allowed more than 2,000 weapons to “walk.”

The subpoena is expected to ask for correspondence that Justice Department officials had with the White House about the gun trafficking operation, as well as what information was shared by Justice officials in Mexico.
