It ain’t big until either 1) the press says it is, or 2) the house Judiciary starts having impeachment hearings or 3) both. 1) will never happen; 2) won’t unless we get rid of Boehner.
Almost, but not quite...
If a scandal happens and nobody covers it, it is not a democrat scandal.

“If Issa let him talk for 2 hours the media would cover every second of it. When republicans start calling out the media for not reporting the truth, maybe things will change. Rinos/leadership just want to be liked by the media.”
I don’t think Issa should have let him ramble on, but he should let him dig himself a hole for a minute or so before pointing out that he was out of order based on the mutually agreed to rules. As for “calling out the media,” that’s a fool’s mission for Republicans, but Issa left them with an unnecessary opening to be critical that he needn’t have left. From my perspective, he showed he was pi$$ed off at Cummings (and I give him credit for the minimal amount of courtesy he did show), because I myself could not have been as “deferential” as he was.
If the democrats today were as honest as the republicans were during Watergate, this would be bigger. But since the democrats today are all scum, nothing will happen.
And if republicans get the white house and the senate they will say “We need to move forward.”
But why would Cummings go on a tear that actually would make the LSM?
He forced them to cover it, which is not what Jarrett wants.
Unless there’s some extreme palace intrigues going on.
