Issa flies to close to the sun

Issa is very smart, very well informed and takes no shit. Nor does he have illusions that he is dealing with crooks and liars. Here he is taking apart green jobs.

He doesn't piss off the people who are interested in reigning in the corruption of the obama administration. Nobody else matters.

Amid IRS Mess, Democrats Try to Make a Scandal Out of Issa

But an overzealous prosecutor can bungle even an open-and-shut case, and that’s what Democrats hope to portray Darrell Issa, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform committee and the President’s self-styled nemesis. For years, Issa has launched a series of probes into alleged White House malfeasance, from the “Fast and Furious” gun-running controversy to loans the Department of Energy made to the failed green-energy company Solyndra. In both instances, Issa went after high-level scalps — only to see the investigations peter out without claiming top officials, such as Attorney General Eric Holder, who was under scrutiny in “Fast and Furious.” Now Democrats are pointing to his habit of claiming conspiracy, as well as a series of intemperate remarks Issa has made about the IRS case, in an attempt to deflect attention from the scandal by discrediting the inquisitor.

“As late as last week the administration’s still trying to say there’s a few rogue agents in Cincinnati, when in fact the indication is they were directly being ordered from Washington,” Issa said Sunday in an interview on CNN’s State of the Union. During that interview, Issa, 59, also criticized White House Press Secretary Jay Carney for blaming the scandal on a “local rogue,” and called Carney a “paid liar.”

Issa’s accusations were accompanied by excerpts the committee released from interviews conducted with two unidentified workers at the IRS office in Cincinnati. In one excerpt, a worker scoffs at the notion that employees in the bureaucratic backwater could be solely responsible for the politically motivated targeting. “It’s impossible,” the employee says. “As an agent we are controlled by many, many people. We have to submit many, many reports. So the chance of two agents being rogue and doing things like that could never happen.”

“One of the things we’ve heard,” says a spokesperson in Issa’s office of the committee’s interviews with IRS employees in Cincinnati, “is how frustrated and thrown under the bus they feel.”

It’s hard to assess the accuracy of Issa’s claims. The Oversight committee hasn’t released the full transcripts of those interviews, or identified the employees. Nor has Issa explained why he believes the conspiracy to target conservative political outfits applying for 501(c)(4) status stretches deep into the agency’s Washington headquarters. The Treasury Inspector General found that IRS offices in DC did contribute to inappropriate delays when some conservative groups applied for tax-exempt status. But it found no political influence from the White House, or anyone else, in those actions.

“Strong words from Mr Grand Theft Auto and suspected arsonist/insurance swindler,” tweeted former White House senior adviser David Plouffe. The remark was a reference to Issa’s checkered past. The seven-term Congressman became one of the wealthiest members of the legislative branch when he entered in 2001, thanks to a company he founded that manufactured popular car alarms. But as a young adult, Issa ran into some trouble with the law, according to a profile by the New Yorker‘s Ryan Lizza. He was indicted for stealing a car (the case was dismissed), accused by a business associate of burning down a factory to collect the insurance money (he was never charged) and pleaded guilty to possessing an unregistered firearm after a traffic stop. (Issa was given probation for the offense.)

Darrel Issa Resume:

**3rd-rate McCarthy

**Indicted for Grand Theft Auto

**Suspected Arsonist

**Insurance Swindler

Glass houses, sir.

Go ahead democrats, let's keep these scandals in the news any way we can. Let's keep the words: Benghazi, IRS, Clinton, Obama, and scandal in the news together all the way until 2014!

Anyone and everyone knows that to catch the latest GOP cries of "Wolfe" against President Obama all one has to do is turn to Faux News. I'm sure it's going to be a winning strategy in the future for them too.....

New Republican theme song.

This is amazing.

I had no idea cleaning port-a-potties was considered a "green job."

Pretty much anything can be overlooked if a Republican does it.

Yeah.. that's a laugh. A Republican can't even make an innocent comment for liberty without being falsely accused of racism and hate.

Meanwhile, Democrats who should be in jail are still sitting in positions of power in Congress.

Democrats must be afraid of what is going to be coming out of these IRS hearings or they wouldn't have to resort to this nonsense.

Yes people in glass houses shouldn't be throwing rocks. That hasnt stopped you yet because you wont take your own advice.
