“.....The White House move was revealed in a letter sent Monday to Norris by Rep. Darrell Issa, the ranking Republican on the oversight panel.
“Our request to meet with you was denied by (Corporation for National and Community Service) general counsel Frank Trinity,” Issa wrote to Norris. “Mr. Trinity told my staff that the White House counsel’s office has advised him that they were not permitting the corporation to make you available for an interview.
“The White House has averred that you had no role whatsoever in the president’s decision to prevent your testimony. If the information provided by White House officials is true, it follows that no colorable claim of executive privilege should impede your cooperation with the committee,” he continued.
Issa said in a statement Tuesday that he does not see a difference between this case and Democrats’ pressing the political nature of the firings of nine U.S. attorneys under President George W. Bush.
“The removal of an IG who was conducting an investigation of one of the president’s staunchest allies is no different than when President Bush fired a number of U.S. attorneys for political reasons, igniting a chorus of criticism and concern. The question is — where is the outrage now that President Obama is doing the same thing?” he asked.
Walpin was the inspector general for the Corporation for National and Community Service until Obama pink-slipped him in June. Walpin filed one lawsuit in July arguing that the dismissal was politically motivated because of his probe of Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, an Obama ally, and broke a 2008 law governing how watchdogs can be removed. In September Walpin filed an injunction requesting to be reinstated immediately. “
Marbury v Madison (1803) cemented the right of judicial review; the courts get to say what is Constitutional and the SCotUS said that the right of the United States to discover if there is wrongdoing by the executive trumps executive privilege and the separation of the branches of government.
If there is a subpoena, it seems as though she'll have to subject herself to questioning.
That’s a tall order to beat.
Don't forget 9/11.
Indeed, it is. And more incompetent, too. Say what you want about him, but Clinton was pretty good at covering up his crap -- almost cat-like.
This administration doesn't seem to think that kind of action is necessary. He being The One, they just leave it out in the open, smelling up the place -- and, then, deny it's there.
“Obama only has a desire to be worshiped by himself first, and then others should follow the lead of their god, Obama”
I think you bring up an excellent point, mainly this: Obama only has a desire to be worshiped by himself first...
King obuma is a psychotic megalomaniac and his handlers are losing control. Soon, obuma will expose himself as a psychopathic maurader and his support will fall to 20% of the American population.
The problem with demi-gods is they fall short of the real God. It’s always their downfall. God will not be mocked. And mind you, I’m not a religious person; just looking at Biblical history.
Good insight on your part.
Love that Obama/Pelosi “transparency.”
Typical of the Chicago political arena: 3C - Commies, Crooks and Crazies
Next November, remember to “Vote Early, Vote Often” because that’s the Chicago way.
Obama Unber Alles!

Sorry about the duplication. The Mouse get stuck.
Just like the BC. Transparency my azz.
Criminals all.
The Clintons would be a breath of fresh air compared to these thugs.
Yes /s to the X. LOL
Good point.
The “Dragon Lady’s” coat still comes to mind.
The Real LOL part is that yesterday when dad and I were discussing the issue he described exactly what would happen....Prefacing it with “Amateur!” and “Arrogant SBO” of course!
There is no executive priviledge for any of MO’s staff. She is not a paid employee of the executive branch of the government any more than the WH chef is....Any attempt to interfere with questioning her is obstruction of justice.
mmm mmm mmm
LOL, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm...
Good for your dad.
There is a pattern of corruption and cover up at Barry’s White House , which is completely ignored by the media.
” The White House announced Wednesday that Social Secretary Desiree Rogers would not be testifying to Congress Thursday
about the two reality television aspirants who got by the Secret Service at a recent state dinner to shake hands with President Obama.
“I think you know that based on separation of powers staff here don’t go to testify in front of Congress,”
said Press Secretary Robert Gibbs in his daily briefing.
“She will not be testifying in front of Congress tomorrow.”
” The decision is not likely to be contested by Democrats on the House Homeland Security Committee, saving Rogers a potentially embarrassing turn in the hearing room spotlight.
Since Rogers was only invited to testify by the ranking Republican on the committee,
New York Rep. Pete King, and not subpoenaed
she faces no legal consequences for declining to attend. “
I smell a constitutional crisis.....now if we only had a REAL US Attorney General.
Well, because of the tude and programs he supports probably.
Now I’ll never get that hilarious pedal auto out of my mind.
