Maybe Darrell Issa can start an investigation and get nowhere, then double his campaign contributions.
Kind of hard to " get some where " when all you have to work with are double digit 5th amendment pleas and the illegal destruction of evidence.
Oh, and Lies, lots of lies
Yes, yes, we know. When people use their constitutional rights, complain. When the evidence isn't there, complain. Never figure out a way to actually prove anything. Just complain and complain some more while the campaign contributions double.
I have no problem with her using her Constitutional Right to not INCRIMINATE herself.
What CAN BE PROVEN is that 24 consecutive 5th amendment pleas plus lies plus the destruction of evidence is a TERRIBLE strategy for dealing with a " Politically motivated witch hunt "
Don't you agree ??

The US Department of Justice announced Thursday that it would not investigate charges that the CIA had spied on members of the staff of the Senate Intelligence Committee, whitewashing the brazenly illegal actions of the US intelligence apparatus. “The department carefully reviewed the matters referred to us and did not find sufficient evidence to warrant a criminal investigation,” read the Justice Department statement.
The department will also not investigate countercharges by the CIA that Senate staffers had gained unauthorized access to CIA documents, effectively equating the two and prompting the corporate-controlled media (which has largely buried the story) to portray the action as a neutral, “hands-off” position in a murky dispute between the Senate and the CIA.
The CIA surveillance of the activities of the Senate committee—which is charged by law with oversight of the CIA—was such a flagrant violation of the constitutional separation of powers that the panel’s chairman, Senator Dianne Feinstein of California, took the extraordinary step of denouncing the agency in an hour-long speech on the Senate floor on March 11.
A longtime hardline defender of the intelligence apparatus, Feinstein was visibly disturbed by what she had learned of the CIA’s actions, which she said “may well have violated the separation-of-powers principle embodied in the United States Constitution,” and also “the Fourth Amendment, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, as well as Executive Order 12333, which prohibits the CIA from conducting domestic searches or surveillance.”

Dianne Fienstein is the Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
Mike Rogers is the Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
Darrel Issa could call for an investigation, but it would probably come from the pertinent committee first.
Darrell Issa is the chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. He doesn't need to be a member of any other committee because he is already a member of every single sub committee (ex officio) and the wide reach his committee has. The Oversight & Government reform committee has investigated everything from Schiavo's life support, to Bill Clinton, to steroids, to the WWE but not 9/11, FEMA's failure in Katrina, Abu Ghraib or Jack Abramoff. It's an office used by Republicans to start bull**** investigations that lead absolutely nowhere.

It's good that you realize that taking the 5th is not as big a deal as you make it out to be.
No. Pleading the 5th can be used to give a middle finger to scum like Issa who'd investigate their coffee if the taste wasn't the same everyday. Refusal to answer is not an admission of guilt. Get over it.
I never made it out to be a " Big deal", just a really dumb way to counter a " Politically motivated witch hunt "
Issa's " Scum ?? Lol....here's ANOTHER really ineffective way to counter a " Politically motivated witch hunt ".
well then , if it's a committee to "start bull**** investigation that lead to nowhere"... why would you want him to investigate.
I'm glad to see that someone isn't turning a blind eye to the government doing dirt.
Lmao, doing dirt. Prove it. Wait... that's Issa's job and he's failed. How is the ACORN investigation going btw?
So, the Katrina response went off without a hitch? That's not what you said last week.
There is apparent dirt at the IRS. Why else would everbody be clammin' up and lawyer'n up? Lerner's lawyer has already been caught in one lie.
Because with every investigation, he gets absolutely nowhere. He's an useful idiot who doesn't accomplish much.
Eh? What? What does Katrina have to do with Issa? Are you attempting to troll now? Or do you have such little defense of Issa's investigations that you're now resorting to the Bush years?
People lawyer up for the same reason they plead the 5th. They won't wait to be railroaded by bull**** investigations.
so instead of uncovering what the CIA is up to, you would rather such an investigation " go nowhere"...
why on earth would you want that?
You're the one that brought up Katrina.
Lerner lawyered up because she broke the law and she knows she's got one in the jail house and the other foot on a banana peal.
so instead of uncovering what the CIA is up to, you would rather such an investigation " go nowhere"...
why on earth would you want that?
