(CNSNews.com) – House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) subpoenaed the Department of Justice today for documents after the DOJ’s Election Crimes Branch director, Richard Pilger, refused to answer critical questions 34 times, as advised by a DOJ lawyer, about the IRS-Tea Party scandal.

“The Department’s refusal to allow Mr. Pilger to testify about matters highly relevant to the Committee’s investigation unnecessarily delays and frustrates the Committee’s Constitutional oversight obligations,” said Chairman Issa in a letter sent with the subpoena.

“The Department’s obstruction in this regard, coupled with its failure to produce any relevant material to date, leads the Committee to conclude the Department is not seriously committed to cooperating with the Committee’s investigation on the Committee’s terms,” said Issa.

Has Issa EVER produced a conviction in any of his congressional investigation?

A congressional committee can't convict anybody of anything. Conviction requires the Department of Justice to prosecute somebody.

Now, do you understand the problem?

“The Department’s refusal to allow Mr. Pilger to testify “

And here is the real problem, when a Congressional Investigative body is led by a wuss that doesn’t seem to understand that it is the WITNESS HIMSELF refusing to testify. LOCK HIS ASS UP and every other WITNESS that refuses to testify, and keep them there until they do testify. The administration can’t do squat without tacit approval from CONGRESS. It is your Fault ISSA, You are a WUSS.

Cut all spending, take away their paychecks, expense accounts, even stop paying the light bills!

Congress is made up a bunch of gutless cry babies.
