Oh, fer cryin' out loud, has it occurred to you that the "silence" might stem from the fact there has been bare hours since this news broke?
And has it occurred to you that the reason this IS news is because Issa and the Government Oversight committee wrote a letter to the State Department advising them cooperate with any and all lawyers who might represent any whistleblowers?
I would expect a strong response from Issa and his committee as soon as they've had time to digest State's position and formulate a response.
The 'Pubbies aren't the best in the world at controlling the media cycle, but Issa has yet to drop the ball on any of his committee's investigations. And there is certainly no reason to find fault in this case...yet.
Sure their is.
1: Issa has thus far made nothing but noise and shuts uo when the left screams...SOP for the GOP
2: Issa’s repeated use of the above technique causes the crisis of faith that keeps Dems pushing ever harder (thus accelerating the cycle) and potential whistle blowers from sticking their necks out...because thusfar no help seem forthcoming.
Now after watching the GOP performance on everything from voting laws to Benghazi to Obamacare to gay marriage to abortion to immigration (and yes, Gun control despite their soon to be rehashed win and screaming at Cruz about it) you think there is a reason to trust them, be my guest. I’ll verify, THEN trust.
