In the summer of 2010, with Republicans poised to take over the House and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) in line to lead the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, the White House started urging reporters to write negative stories about the congressman’s past, a new book says.

Notice the timing?
Like, we gotta wait for a book to spill the beans?
Riiight!

Journalistic malpractice.
Since freedom of the Press is ‘Constituted’ -
I wonder what remedies there are...besides NOT watching or reading their rumpswab swill.

It isn’t surprising, and obviously it worked, I have heard a word from ISSA about Fast & Furious for a long time, Nor Benghazi either.

Say what you will about George W Bush. When it comes to decency and character, he is sorely missed.

While a being a somewhat failed president... in large part because he embraced the lies of the left and allowed himself and everyone that supported him to be defined by alinsky... His moral character is sorely missed.

‘George W Bush’ This guy was an embassament to conservative priniples. He regurgitated his father’s pablum about a “one world order”, helped to continue the housing bubble created under the Clinton administration, was pro illegal immigration and amnesty, and increased spending on social service programs .

When I saw Issa quickly dismiss Lois Lerner from those House committee hearings a couple of weeks ago, I knew he was filthy dirty.

Not sure I understand.

Who in your mind, is dirty?

Probably true.

However, Issa is an idiot and NEVER should have been trusted with any investigation. He has blown them all.

Did I post an article with a reference to someone not in high regard here?

I have always held Issa in high regard, though I do not know him very well.

Is Issa held as being dirty, here?

Just curious. Thanks.

Let’s just say, this is proof why Issa is more of a DC Gossip Columnist than an investigator or prosecutor. If he were the latter, people would be in jail.

Wow.

OK that’s three comments in a row.

Think I’ll watch Issa for a bit. Maybe I was wrong about him.

Sorry all, if so. Had no idea.

Darryl Issa is filthy dirty.

LOIS LERNER: “I am completely innocent. And now I am invoking my 5th Amendment right.”
DARRYL ISSA: “Well, okay then. I guess that’s it. This hearing is over. Have a nice day everybody.”
TREY GOWDY (and everybody else): “WTF???”

Darryl Issa is a filthy dirty piece of sh**. The Republicans better replace him, and quick. God only knows what else he is covering up for Ubama and the Chicago mob.
