I suppose their defense is ‘collegiality’. The offer their fellow congressman and senators a chance to act, and when they don’t, Issa and Grassley sit down and shut up."
Yeah, they only issued subpoenas, held Eric holder in contempt, and filed suit in federal court to enforce it. After all, they command vast divisions of army, marines and executive office law enforcers... oh... no they do not.
And Grassley is the minority member of the Senate subcommittee. That means he can tell the Chairman of the committee what to do... oh.. no he cannot.
So, given the the MSM is against them, so they have no leverage with the press, and are routinely ignored by most major outlets, what more would you have them do?
I bet that Issa and Grassley are just as frustrated by this administration as we are. Probably moreso, as they see the lies, obfuscations, and evidence of thugery on a daily basis, with better evidence than we have.
But, seriously, what more have they the power to do?
You certainly could be right.
