Part of the cost of "Protect Obama and Holder at all costs"

A fairly epic rant:
Are Democrats like Raben right? Is finding the person responsible for arming Terry’s killers with government-issue guns really merely doing “the bidding of the NRA?” Why the hell isn’t it the “bidding” of the entire Justice Department? Of the whole White House? Instead, Democrats like our own Reps. Stephen Lynch and John Tierney have consistently voted against having Attorney General Eric Holder provide documents that could end this family’s pain. Ranking House Oversight Committee member Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) famously pledged, “I will not rest” until justice is done for the Terry family.

But what did he and every other Democrat on the committee do this week?

They sided with Holder and voted against holding him in contempt.

Tierney demeaned the effort to get the documents as “partisan political theater.” Lynch went even further, offering an amendment calling for a review of the costs of the investigation and complaining that it had dragged on.

“I want to balance out the benefits of this investigation with costs being accrued,” Lynch complained
.
Yeah, his concern is the 'cost' of the investigation...
