Issa Warns Holder More Subpoenas May Be Issued

Congressman Darrell Issa is questioning Eric Holder why Patrick Cunningham of the US Attorney Phoenix office who has invoked the fifth amendment was allowed to work in the DOJ if he had in fact committed crimes that warranted his protection from self incrimination. In a letter to Holder Issa wrote;

"Mr. Cunningham’s broad assertion of his Fifth Amendment privilege raises the specter that the Department has allowed him to continue in his position as Chief of the Criminal Division knowing that he might have criminal culpability himself."

“I have reserved the right to authorize another subpoena for his testimony at a future date … Due to Mr. Cunningham’s recent actions, the Committee will be making further document requests of the Department,” he continued.

Holder is scheduled to testify in front of the committee on February 2, 2012
