Chairman Issa To Pursue IRS, Benghazi and Fast And
Furious Scandals In 2014
by Debra Heine 12 Jan 2014, 6:20 PM PDT
The Hill is reporting that Rep. Darrell
Issa will be pursuing the IRS scandal, the Benghazi attack and the lethally stupid Fast
and Furious operation in 2014 - which will likely be his last year as the House
GOP's chief investigator.
Issa sounded a cautionary note that the
investigations might not conclude while he has the gavel.
“The administration wraps up
investigations. We are done when we are done … there shouldn’t be any sort of
effort to load in or unload" before his term limit of six years as the top
Republican on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee ends in December.
Rep. John Mica (Fla.), who is the favorite
to replace Issa as chairman, told The Hill that he hopes to “have a shot at”
the gavel if he gets reelected, and the GOP continues to control the
House.
Key Oversight and Reform member Rep. Jason
Chaffetz told the Hill that “there’s a
lot more to come” on Benghazi,
as well as “investigations from healthcare to the IRS to Fast and Furious.”
Issa said, “I'd like to have Fast and
Furious be a closed case,” noting that the courts are still reviewing
access-to-documents disputes between Republicans and the administration.
The Hill reports that Democrats call that
probe, and other Issa-led investigations, "bogus."
According to Democratic sources, Issa
hasn't tied key figures in the administration directly to each controversy: the
IRS targeting of conservative groups; the 2012 Benghazi attack and the botched ObamaCare rollout.
On Fast and Furious,
Benghazi and the IRS, “his
oversight can be summarized in a fairly simple pattern: asserting crazy
conspiracy theories without fact — all of which get subsequently debunked,” a
Democratic source told The Hill.
That's some awesome spin coming from The
Hill's Democrat source, because the only explanations I've seen utterly
debunked are the ones the Democrats have come up with to defend the Regime.
On Fast and Furious, Democrats attempted
to absolve the DOJ by falsely claiming that the it was a continuation of the
Bush era Wide Receiver operation. You can hear them do this on various talk
shows, even today, when asked about that scandal, even though it has been
thoroughly debunked.. That's all they've got in their quiver on that one. That
and the fact that Issa couldn't get the goods, knowing that "the most
transparent administration in history" stonewalled him every step of the
way, and the president invoked executive privilege on key documents.
As for Benghazi, yeah - I've heard some interesting
conspiracy theories about the attack- but none of them came from Issa's office,
and they persist only because the Regime has been lying and stonewalling about
what really happened from the beginning.
The most absurd conspiracy theory of all
is the one about the spontaneous demonstration over an anti-Mohammed video that
got out of hand.
Seriously even the Obama-loving media had
trouble buying that one.
On Sept 19, 2012, Jay Carney repeating the
Administration line that it was a pre-planned attack. “Bad actors” had come on
the scene of a protest armed with RPGs and mortars. “We prefer to have an
investigation…” he told reporters in order to ward off similar questions.
One reporter, clearly not buying it, said,
“so a random crowd that had come together with their heavy weapons – got
insulted by the film, and decided to – you know – blow up…”
Carney doubled down with, “there has
certainly been precedent in the past where bad actors -
extremists who are heavily armed who have exploited situations that have
developed in order to attack Americans…”
Talk. About. Bogus.
Apparently the IRS scandal is a big
nothingburger, too, according to Democrat sources - even though we were
initially told it was limited a few bad actors in the Cincinnati office, only
to later discover that it was being run out of Washington DC.
The president promised us back in May that
there would be a full investigation, but the DOJ didn't even assign a person to
lead the investigation until last week. Oh, and that person just happens to be a
huge Obama supporter and donor. Nothing to see, here, right Democrat sources?
Meanwhile, the wheels of justice rev up to hypersonic speed if you happen to be
a Republican governor embroiled in any kind of scandal.
Good thing we have Democrat sources to set
us straight on these things, or I'd be tempted to think there was a disgusting
double standard at play, here.
Issa has apparently joked about getting a
"six year extension" to continue on as chairman of the panel but any
waivers appear to be unlikely.
Other term-limited chairmen have appealed
to the GOP Steering Committee for a waiver to continue atop their respective
perches. Most of those requests have
been denied.
But sources close to Issa aren't ruling
out asking for a waiver.
My top choice to be the next chairman
following Issa, would be Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), but then he's also my choice
to be the next Attorney General should the Republican win in 2016, so there's a
little conflict, there.
The 60 year-old Issa will be the keynote
speaker at an annual Lincoln Day Dinner in New Hampshire, next month, sparking
rumors he has his eye on a White House bid, as New Hampshire is considered a
magnet for potential presidential hopefuls.
