Issa should just ignore it. 0bama never replies to any Republican congresscritter.

[Thibodeaux]

The attempt to lie in private is a joke

[Dick Bachert]

This 6 minute video may help even the dullest no/low info morons understand what they have done. (Then again...) With assists from “academia”, liberal Jews (no, I am NOT an anti-semite but support Israel’s right to exist) and a few others, the 47% no/low info voters hooked on “free chit” put a MAD MAN in the Spite House! And if you thought the last 6 years were insane, wait until next year!

...and is offering instead to a hold a private briefing on activities in the administration’s political affairs office.

In other words, the White House wants to change the optics from advisors testifying before Congress, to Congress subordinating themselves in a White house office.

Move the home field advantage away from Congress and to the White House.

Stupid move if Issa goes for it.

Don’t give into this pompous ass, let them sweat it out.

Or a yet-to-be revealed threat offered behind closed doors?

No White House briefing. Send in a detachment of Marines for the old boy Obama is trying to hide. Wipe out the corrupt Secret Service blathers if they break away from their booze and naked women and try to stop the Marines.

[Foundahardheadedwoman]

I am paraphrasing but towards the end of the article, spokesman for Issa says as long as the briefing answers our questions all is forgiven, basically. Couple of lines before it says there is no chance it will be withdrawn.

Issa talks rough. WH says ok let’s do b instead of a. Issa folds. I see a pattern here.

[Tucker39]

My opinion precisely.
Issa will fold like a cheap umbrella!

[Red Steel]

Looks like Obama is not going to squirm out of it.

"But Issa’s office said there is little chance that the subpoena will be withdrawn."

[freeangel]

Issa is a fool who thinks he can catch a bit of light from obamas halo.

[Graewoulf]

If the US Congress is a co-equal branch of Government, then the Administration is not “more equal” than Congress.

If, however, Issa allows his subpoena to not be honored, then the Administration is above Congress, and the Administration is above the Laws derived from the Constitution of the United States of America.

Will Issa fold like a cheap suit?

[Windflier]

I thought the White House already told Issa to go pound sand. What's this about them asking him to drop his subpoena?

Later

[MeshugeMikey]

the pretense of utter control has cracked wide open

rumor has it that camp obama has cancelled its August "semester"

[MeshugeMikey]
