All just a play to try to convince people that there’s a difference between Republicans and Democrats....When the cameras are off, and they go to the backrooms, they’re all buddy-buddy.

But actually, Boner will defend “his good friend” and bash the Tea Party.

Gowdy voted for Boehner for speaker.

Hillary gets a free pass on Benghazi, and now it appears that Lerner will not be held to account for the IRS scandal.

Things are moving along nicely for the Democrats, with the help of the feckless GOP.

If Issa is taking this step by step then the next hearing will probably be, in what, 2018? This woman first took the 5th back in May and look at how much he’s accomplished....nada. He’s all talk and bluster.

Not one democrat has been held responsible for anything since the gop took over the house. Forty Tea Party republicans ain’t gonna’ change anything. Especially if half of them go along with Boner.

Before Adjourning Issa should have darned well asked her if she was threatened by anyone who wants her to remain quiet during this testimony.

Issa should file for contempt or just resign if he’s not going to enforce the rules....like Holder.

...TIME FOR A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR

Not gonna happen until the House has a new speaker. Everyone needs to understand what this is about. There is NO opposition party anymore.......this from a GOP advertisement in the 1950s..this needs to be repeated only this time by the TEA PARTY sweeping out RINOs like Boner and his leadership team like Cantor. For goodness sake don't bother replacing Boner with Cantor.

He’s partly a showman but in these days you kind of have to be, with all the cameras everywhere.

Several hefty cops surrounded Lerner as she left. That was for show too.

Also Gowdy was not front and center. That was intentional as well.

Did you notice how frightened Lerner seemed before the hearing got going? Then when she realized she wasn’t going to be prosecuted immediately, her eyes totally changed. Issa has that power, and she knew it.

He wasn’t giving anything away after the hearing either. Tried to take the focus off of Lerner, but we don’t really know, do we? I think his timing is fine.

Outside, after the hearing before reporters, Issa said:

"Ms. Lerner is not our primary concern today, nor is the contempt.."

That pretty much sums it up. This is a dog and pony show to appease Republican voters and NOTHING MORE.

It is unclear at this time if he will choose to pursue contempt charges.


Nope!

Doesn’t matter what Gowdy says. Enough talk. Do something.

If she does talk, it will just be lies.

Everyone pays it - 10 percent - no deductions.

A flat tax like this would be much fairer. Unfortunately the corporatists and representatives and lobbyists for the low-income types paying zero percent tax won't allow it.

Elijah Cummings

He's not a wooden Indian but he is a minority, a victim, didn't get a kiss, but poor ol' Elijah got a dis. (Elijah close enough.)
