BTW, this supposedly happened in April, 2010. The Republicans were still in the minority then. any objection that Issa could have made would have been ignored. But, now he has the power...
Since this supposedly occured in April of 2010, we do not know how much information was actually presented to Issa. The Dems on the committee may have simply said, “Uh, we’re tracking some gun sales. The project is hush-hush, so that is all you need to know, Pubbies.”
