Issa comes off as ignorant to the law, procedure, and precedent.
Likely because he is ignorant of the law, procedure, and precedent.
The ghost of McCarthy still stalks the halls of congress.
True.
Issa is a partisan hack, at least McCarthy believed in his crusade, however perverted, illegal, and un-Constitutional.
Why do you keep ignoring the fact that the Executive Privilege was asserted when documents related to this investigation where asked for? This was the most extreme measure of blocking the investigation that could have been used by the president no less!
Ignore what fact?
Executive Privilege was exerted in this case because it was a show of support of Holder..who's been at these hearings no less then 9 times.
This is the first time in Obama's term that he's used it. Using Bush as a precedent..he's got 5 more in the bag.
In any case..most of the documents Issa is asking for cannot be turned over because the law prohibits it.
