House Republicans have run out of patience with President Obama's administration, Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said Wednesday.

Issa, who has been investigating employee misconduct at the Environmental Protection Agency, demanded that deputy administrator Bob Perciasepe produce documents within one month.

Issa is always threatening, but seems to little power to follow through.

“but seems to little power to follow through”

he has no will IMO. Reminds me of the guy who gets beer muscles at the bar while boasting how he is going to wipe the floor with someone. It never seems to happen though when their Walter Mitty styled persona departs.

RE: Contempt

What the heck will this accomplish if there is not threat of actual PUNISHMENT?

Lois Lerner is in contempt, Eric Holder is in contempt, now this EPA official is in contempt.

Next question .... SO?

If all this ends up with is a statement to the effect: “You’ve been a very bad boy/girl”, what’s that going to accomplish?

WHAT ABOUT JAIL TIME?

Because no one has been sent to jail for their criminal actions in the BO administration, they just double down on their corruption cause they can. They must be thanking their lucky stars everyday that the Republicans have jello for spines.

I am SO done with Issa. He is a buffoon who engages in the adult version of “I know you are but what am I” or “I’m gonna tell my Mom”. Speaking as a former Prosecutor, he has done ZERO to get any real facts. He manipulates and lies to make himself look good. You address facts, good or bad, and it gives you credibility and helps you get to the truth.

Issa is incapable. He has squandered this opportunity. He has ruined all future investigations. He is a fool and a disaster.

Why give a month? Tell the HOUSE SARGENT AT ARMS “ Throw her into jail until we get the GD documents.” I’ll bet they would be there in three hours.

The EPA should regulate all the hot air that comes from Issa. He’s a GOPe flack.

This is off the subject, but haven’t seen a thread about this today. Earlier on Drudge, there was a link to an article about the WH going on lockdown because Obama daughters motorcade had been followed. The page would load, but never could read about it, now it’s gone. First, I didn’t know the princesses rode around in motorcades and second, did anyone else see it?

Must have been earlier. I didn’t see that on Drudge nor can I find it anywhere.

“He manipulates and lies to make himself look good.”

I have stated before that we are ruled by one party, a republicrat oligarchy. Issa is a tool to fool conservatives into believing they have representation in our government, which we do NOT. These tools babble left or right, and give all Americans false hope that real change is coming.

Heard on the TV news this morning that the person had a pass to the Treasury building next door. Must have made a wrong turn.
