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.

Mac will go sell some stock short and Bohener will head to the Cry Room Hookah.
Hope he recorded it!
Issa currently has an active law suit against Cummings for collusion with IRS and DOJ in the IRS targeting TEA party groups .
This current screw up by DOJ gives Issa a lot leverage with subpoenas for both DOJ and Cummings and his staff

“gates” are only for Republicans...
The surest guarantee of a past hard drive failure or file loss is to be subpoenaed by Congress today.
Proof that the media is colluding with the democrat party to lie to the public.
Bump
Then I'd feed them information about how the committee is about to indict several members of the media for conspiracy.
REALLY rub it in.
We have tapes, phone calls, etc.
Thank you for calling us, just keep it under your hat. You're not one of them are you?
Good. Wouldn't want you to be caught up in felonies or anything.
If you want to cooperate with us now, we can arrange for you to serve time in a federal prison. But it will only be for a couple of years.
In exchange we'll make it a much lighter sentence than the people who are REALLY in trouble.
Fallon will fall on his sword, right after publicly proclaiming that the Great God Holder knew NOOOOOTHIIIIIING about this. Holder won’t be touched. Unfortunately.
Good strategy.
I wanna hear chains jingling, leg irons and cuffs clicking.
This is so disgusting. I’ve been madder than a wet hen over this issue, because nothing has been done to remove Cummings from the Committee. He is part of the investigation .. having communicated with the IRS regarding the targeting of conservatives.
Cummings is still playing his games .. and HE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM THIS COMMITTEE ... N O W ..!!!!!!!!
Should have been green.
BFD, Sandy Burglar was caught red-footed with documents stuffed in his socks and he didn’t get even as much as a “whack on his pee pee” by the baliff.
Cummings should be forced to recuse himself as an unindicted co-conspirator.
This screams for a special prosecutor.
I don’t see why he would display any hint of being ‘audibly nervous’. Most conservatives already know that with Darryl Issa, you get a long steady rumble, a short loud clap of thunder, then,,, nothing, just blue skies and sunshine. Business will continue as before.
James O’Keefe plant posing as a hard-drive repairman?
As when Obola said he had to wait until after the election to issue a ukase on amnesty. No more need to catch him on an open mike--he says it right to the cameras. What does that tell you?
