Issa: “Clearly a cover-up” by Holder and the Obama administration

“It was deny, delay and recuse,” Issa, a California Republican, said on ABC’s “This Week” of his panel’s clash with the administration.

“Lying to Congress is a crime,” he said. “We have every right to see documents that say, did you know, when did you know, what did you know, including even the president.”

Appearing later on Fox News, Issa also predicted that Republicans and Democrats would vote to find Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress this week.

“I believe they will, both Republicans and Democrats will vote that,” Issa said on Fox News Sunday. “There are a number of Democrats, 31, who wrote to the administration asking them to be forthcoming. Many of them will stay with us now that the administration has not been.”

Issa previously has said as many as 31 Democrats could vote to place Holder in contempt. Still, no Democrats on his committee last week voted with Republicans.

But Issa said it was still possible for Holder to avoid a contempt charge.
