I mean he needs to be in control of his investigation committee, have solid questions, solid follow-up questions, and not allow his witnesses to run the show.
Issa's Traveling Circus has been all hot air with practically nothing to show for it (this committee, maybe?). IRS targeting, Fast & Furious, and Benghazi, and this is what we have to show for it.
