Breitbart ^ | 12/11/13 | Breitbart News

Posted on 12/11/2013 5:04:15 PM PST by Nachum

On Wednesday, House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa sent a letter to Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius, angrily telling her that HHS’ attempts to block contractors from giving information to Congress on Obamacare was a violation of law. On December 6, HHS told Creative Computing Solutions, Inc. not to give information to the Oversight Committee, stating, “If you receive a request for this information from Congress, CMS will respond directly to the requestor[.]”

Is it hot?

Not really. If Issa alleges criminal contempt (which has certainly occurred on multiple issues and instances over the past few years), he has to get Holder to prosecute it. Fat chance!

Actually they are, the back side Can be used for scratch paper.

I would not use it as scratch paper. I would wipe something with it.

Issa the toothless tiger. Give it a rest. Wake me with subpoenas or when you take on Boehner.

There has to be a legal authority that will arrest her. Congress doesn’t have a police force that has jurisdiction.

The shadowy cabal of leftists that Hussein fronts for — care not a whit about the law.

They can play all the games they want but until SOMEONE GOES TO JAIL it is all buffoonery.

Totally agree with you.

Issa's many investigations have produced all types of accusations... but NO INDICTMENTS.

We've had a front row seat to watch Washington D.C.'s version of Kabuki theater.

Nobody in this Administration, from Obama on down, cares if they break the law.

If Issa keeps talking mean like that 0bama will put Sebelius under Executive Privilege like Holder and she can break all the laws she wants to.

BINGO !

Congress has NO effective punishment in its “toolkit.”

All Congress can do is send nasty letters, and whine like a bunch of stuck RINOs.

For example: ISSA: “ - - - “Obstructing a Congressional investigation is a crime. The federal obstruction laws - - - - “

Obama Administration: “Sticks and stones Congress, sticks and stones. Bawha, ha Ha HA !”

With NO leadership in the House, and NO ONE with the spin to oppose Democrat-wannabe Boehner Obama will continue to “Barry” the US Federal Government.

I’ll believe Issa really believes such is so when he shows some real action against such.
