A year ago 31 Democrats wrote a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder expressing concern over Fast & Furious and especially over the AG’s unwillingness to share documents about the operation with Congress. In the letter they urged him promptly to reply to Congress’ requests. Among the 31 were N.C. Democrats Larry Kissell, Mike McIntyre and Heath Shuler.

Today, of the 31 Democrats who signed the letter, only 16 followed through and voted to hold Holder in contempt of Congress. Kissell and McIntyre were among them. Shuler was not. He voted with the Pelosi bloc.
