The aide, Brian Fallon, is a former senior aide to Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and a well-known personality on Capitol Hill. The letter describes Fallon as “audibly shaken” when he realizes his request to leak documents to help get ahead of news stories about them was mistakenly made to the very office he was seeking to undermine. Issa believes the call was intended to be made to Democratic Rep. Elijah Cumming's staff, the ranking member on the oversight panel, the letter said.
According to the letter, Fallon – who is not named in the letter but confirmed he made the call – asked if the aides could release the IRS scandal documents to “selected reporters” to give Fallon an “opportunity to comment publicly on it.”
Fallon explained to Issa aides that the Justice Department's Office of Legislative Affairs had not permitted him to release the documents to the public and he wanted to get ahead of the story “before the Majority” – meaning Issa – could share it, according to the letter.

Blowin' smoke is (sadly) what they do best.
Rush summed it up today in answer to a caller:
"...So the Republicans are not pushing back. They're not standing for anything different. They're not proposing alternatives. They're not engaged in anything that would change the status quo. They're simply relying on this dissatisfaction to cause people to change who they vote for. But that, sadly, isn't going to mean that people have changed their minds. I've learned that way too many times. In the 1994 elections where the Republicans took the House, it really wasn't because people changed their minds. They just decided to change their vote..."
the good Lord works in mysterious ways at times...
I’ve said before: God Bless Speed Dial. It’s been the undoing of countless dunderheads. Ain’t that techy stuff mahvellous? You have to question the guy’s ability to successfully use a flush terlet and wouldn’t it be neat to find out he was using his “hand Held.?” Maybe he already needs glasses?
True that !
But RICO implies 'organized crime snydicate' without happenstance.
Cummings ought to be immediately removed from the committee.
I would like to know the names of the “selected reporters,” i.e. Rat collaborators.
And so their television never leaves NBC. Ooooookay.

I predict that a lot of irrecoverable hard drive crashes are imminent.

Predicting another hard drive crash in 3 .. 2 .. 1 ..
I'd like the home addresses of these lame F***S.
Traitors, the whole lot!
The government is Ken McElroy...
It’s also a television series based on a novel of the same name.
I don’t think anything will come of it. Holder has his race to protect him, and I haven’t even thought of his boss yet.
