I don't think impeachment is necessary for non-political employees. Criminal sanctions will be plenty. These things take time. Issa is laying the groundwork.

Here's your problem. The agency heads work for Obama. They are not going to fire these people. Besides the objective is to GET THEM TO TALK and implicate higher ups.

They'll talk. Your typical career federal employee simply won't risk his or her own lifetime credit rating and employability.

They will talk.

And the agency heads can't fire them all.

I'd go through the materials they have on hand at the committee and begin identifying some of these lower ranking career employees and just drop a subpoena on them OVERNIGHT. Begin the hearing on THOSE PEOPLE instantly.

Everything takes time. It cannot be done instantly. Issa is working on it. His committee just demanded all the emails involving all of this from a dozen of the top people. The lower you start, the longer it takes.

We already have a number of GS13/14 types working with the investigation, or so it appears to me.

You need 13/14 s from the headquarters operation in DC.

There are things they know that they will never tell unless it can remove their boss' boss.

Without being subjected to impeachment hearings in the House they will simply never talk.

This shouldn't take much time at all. Remember, a career employee approaches his job entirely differently than an appointee, or a top end SES type who is much closer to retirement.

So....what happened in the hearings today? Anything? At all? It’s like even Issa has a news blackout, no C-SPAN, no nothing.
