House Committee to File Contempt Case Against Holder
The Attorney General will be exempt from prosecution thanks to executive privilege.

"We are filing charges against Attorney General Eric Holder tomorrow," said a post on committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa's official Twitter account late Sunday, which included the hash tag "fastandfurious."
