I believe that the Congressmen who walked out on the vote would have voted for contempt but because it was a political vote walked out to save face rather than voting their conscience.

The vote wasn't about Fast and Furious, but rather a matter of the Attorney General complying with a Lawful Order to provide documents to and his testimony before the US Congress. Another Domestic Enemy of the Constitution. Ben Franklin warned us in September, 1787. I just hope we can survive as a nation...
