1. You have Issa accusing the WH before hearing the evidence
2. You have a conservative republican IRS manager who says on the record that he made the call personally, without any guidance from anyone
3. You have Issa refusing to release the statement of this manager
Why? The only reason seems to be the fact that the evience contradicts the accusations he made earlier. When Cummings says "case closed", that is nothing but his personal opinon. The case is obviously not for him to close.
They ALSO have 2 managers from the Cinncy office stating the orders came from Washington.
So now we have conflicting statements. Maybe we should have an investigation the find out the truth.
Oh, wait. We have one going on on. Lets wait and see what is overturned while they continue to investigate before jumping to ANY conclusions.
As amazing as it may seem, a lot of news orginizations do put segments of their news shows on the Internet, or they are viewable on YouTube
I started to note that they don't when it never happened but I thought better and decided that I should note that it's pretty rare for them to put something on the internet that never happened.
There is something positive in all this ugliness and false accusations. GOP told Issa to shut his face, because by going over the top, and slinging personal insults at WH staff, he is jepardizing the whole case for the GOP. There are some reasonable people in GOP, as there in the Dems ranks. It is the fringe in both parties we need to worry about.
..............Lawmakers have also raised eyebrows at the fact that Paz was present when members of the inspector general’s team interviewed her subordinates during the course of their investigation. In a May 23 Oversight Committee hearing, chairman Darrell Issa expressed his astonishment, saying he was ”shocked” to find that Paz “participated in virtually every one of the interrogations or interviews with her own subordinates.” He added, “In those, of course, one of the questions the IG had to ask was, ‘Did anyone tell you to do this?’ If that question was asked, their own superior was in the room.”
Even the ranking member of the committee, Democrat Elijah Cummings, no fan of Issa’s investigations into the administration’s misconduct, had harsh words for Paz. “It sounded like Ms. Paz felt like she needed to be in the room because she wanted to be able to defend herself – or the agency, I don’t know – based on what may have been said or the information gathered in that interview,” Cummings told inspector general J. Russell George. “Usually when you are conducting an investigation . . . you want to keep your witnesses separate because you’re in search of the truth and you are trying to make sure there’s no advantage of a person hearing what somebody else said.”
