House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) issued a subpoena Friday for White House chief of staff Denis McDonough, arguing he has not cooperated with a GOP probe of President Obama's political office.
Issa accused McDonough in a letter of failing to accept investigators' "good faith" effort to address concerns about revealing privileged communications between Obama and his staff.
"The White House has acknowledged that the dialogue has been constructive and that progress has been made. Unfortunately, these characterizations represent the total sum of what the White House has provided," Issa wrote on Friday.
"The White House has not produced any additional documents, nor has the White House stated if or when the committee will hear from [David Simas, director of the Office of Political Strategy]."
The move ratchets up the pressure from Issa in his investigation into whether the administration is using taxpayer dollars for political purposes.
Issa first ordered Simas to testify before his panel on July 11, prompting a White House request that he drop the order three days later.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Wrong target. Valerie Jarret is the one they want.
I really know that ISSA is fighting a corrupt administration but I have no confidence any more in these subpeonas or hearings!
All kidding aside I thought the headline read....ISIS subpoenas Obama`s Chief of staff (I must be tired) but my first thought was yes, we should comply.
“...no confidence any more in these subpeonas or hearings!”
::::::::::
Issa has accomplished NOTHING material. Talk is cheap. Threats are cheap.
Only RESULTS count. People need to go to jail. A whole bunch of them.
Issa and Cummings sole purpose is to allow corruption to
continue.
Fast&Furious weapons are STILL murdering LEO.
The border operatives are STILL importing TB and Ebola.
The IRS is STILL going after conservatives and
funding Hamas.
Obama is STILL helping Islam against the American people.
Issa and Cummings are co-conspirators to every murder,
every rape, every attack of the gov’t on the People.
My dog ate my hard drive. Okay, hearings closed!
The Red Queen will be the last. First, the intervening minions must be brushed out of the way.
I wonder why Issa is still playing footies with these people....
O’ wait .... Never mind...
Its not up to us to decide, as it is an internal matter.
You are correct sir. I heard someone say, and I agree, that it is very hard to deal legally, with a lawless president, because he does not care about the law. I wish I had more hope, but like you, I have no confidence in any hearing or subpoena. The whole regime will walk. No one will ever be held accountable for anything. Welcome to Obamaworld.
This has to be the biggest most vast understatement of all time. If this can't be proven, hundreds of fund raisers on the taxpayers dime later, than we should just give up going after these commies all together.
Sadly Issa seems to be just a BIG FAT NOTHING!!!
Claiming executive privilege in 3..2..1
I think the answer to that question is obvious. The real question is what can be done about it?
Has any of these many fed “worker” criminals ever gone to jail because of anything ISSA has ever done? Hasn’t he been at this for years? Is he trying to justify his existence? Sheesh! Kabuki theatre!
