House Democrats are hiring a top attorney from President Barack Obama’s National Security Council to help lead their charge against Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa.
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the top Democrat on the committee, has tapped David Rapallo, an experienced congressional investigator, to be the Democratic staff director for the oversight panel, which will be the center of attention for a wide range of investigations when Republicans take control of the House.
It’s a job familiar to the University of California-trained attorney: He spent 11 years as a minority subcommittee director, later serving as Democratic Rep. Henry Waxman’s chief investigative counsel on the oversight committee. Rapallo was also general counsel on the Energy and Commerce Committee.
“With this committee set to face many serious challenges in the next Congress, I am confident that David’s vast experience in oversight and investigations will be pivotal to our success. I am proud to announce David’s appointment today and [to] welcome him back to the committee,” Cummings said in a statement.
The hiring of Rapallo shows that Democrats are serious about countering Issa’s aggressive oversight agenda....

I am stocking up on Popcorn. Republicans with subpoenas. Panic time. It will not be Waterloo..more like Watergate.
They were warned to not shred documents and do what Obama loves best, lawyer up.
...lawyers are selling like the latest electronic gadget in DC....it’s like watching a crowded elevator empty after some passes gas on a forty floor trip......
they will lie to their diaries, hire private detectives,
threaten and intimidate people, or pay some
off handsomely. the dems will behave criminally
and the republicans will splutter and flail.
Now that football season is over it will be great. Investigating Democrats will be a lot of fun. They have already started the “Witch Hunt” rhetoric. Soon they will start comparing him to Starr and Wallace.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

It's been a while since I had proper supplies, my wife stuffed some coconut oil and popcorn salt in my stocking for Chirstmas.
Nothing like the flavor of popcorn popped in coconut oil. Although peanut oil makes things a bit fluffier (higher smoke point, so you can pop hotter), coconut oil has the best flavor by far. Even without butter, it's great.
I member that from the movies when I was a kid. Mnnn! Now they are even ruining Fritos.
Love your brother Darrell photo~! :)
The dhimmicrats will compare Issa to Joe McCarthy (never mind that communists had actually infiltrated the government).
I get that sinking feeling you're right. Tough guy Schwartzenkennedy just handed a full pardon for murder to a connected Rat here in CA.
“I am confident that David’s vast experience in oversight and investigations”
Just an observation; he has not worked much since pelosi took over the speaker of the house.
Sounds like Issa needs to hire 500 private eyes to do some checking around. The cost of these new hires could come from the de-funding of the EPA.
