Issa Issues another Subpoena over Fast and Furious

The Criminal Division Chief of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Arizona, Patrick J. Cunningham is now being forced to give a deposition to the House Oversight Committee after not doing so voluntarily. Cunningham will be in a tight spot when he gives his testimony on January 24th, based on the contents in a letter sent to him by Issa:

Here is an excerpt:

"These officials told us that even after Congress began investigating Fast and Furious, you continued to insist that no unacceptable tactics were used. In fact, documents obtained confidentially just last week appear to confirm that you remained steadfast in your belief that no unacceptable tactics were used, even after the Department's initial response to the congressional inquiry. Given that the Attorney General has labeled these tactics as unacceptable and Fast and Furious as 'fundamentally flawed,' this position is startling."

A little more than a week after Cunningham is deposed, Holder will be in front of Issa's committee. It's quite possible that Issa wants to get Cunningham on the record before Holder appears on February 2nd.
