My biggest surprise is, the fact that anyone and I do mean
anyone is surprised by this.
Many of us here have stated that Issa and his committee are nothing but Kabuki Theater for us out here in Flyover Country.

This is just the beginning.
Over the next two years we will see several of the House committees “investigating” the Obama scandals make their finding public in Friday News Dumps. At that time we will suddenly discover, these “phony scandals” were just mistakes or happenstance.

Posted this on another thread ... seems to be the ‘strategy’ in this case, too.

One of the dirty secrets the Republican Party does not want the general public to know is that many Republicans are secretly happy with what Mr. Obama is doing. They have a simple strategy. They want the amnesty issue off the table by 2016 so that Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney or whoever the great RINO hope is will not have to fight the conservative base on that issue.

Republicans long ago learned the trick of doing nothing but appearing to do something. Former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor was a master of this. He is the reason why the House of Representatives voted more than 50 times to repeal Obamacare. He knew those votes were meaningless but the Republican congressmen could go home and claim they were doing something.

*************************************
Not Issa’s committee (but a similar result, as committees go these days):

Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., the committee’s chairman, and Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger of Maryland, the ranking Democrat
