Trying to figure out just what Issa meant by “looks like Iran-Contra”. Could he have meant that like “Iran-Contra”, “Fast and Furious” involved very high-ranking government officials, but not necessarily all of them, or the very top ones? And the ones involved will lawyer-up?
It's just rhetoric to show the Dems that under-the-table gun-dealing is NOT just done by Repubs.
In fact, Issa probably knows that if he can cause people to comparison the two scenarios, this will be seen as much worse.
