It's all political and you are the pawn and can't see it.

What if the Democrats held the House? Then the chairmanship would most likely be in the hands of the ranking Democrat on that committee -- none other than Elijah Cummings.

Cummings will gain but not you.

What will I gain by believing Issa's cherry picking of information during his witch hunt?

So what major scandals is the far right going to hang their hat on now?

Benghazi has run it's course. The AP expose went nowhere. The NSA programs are supported by bipartisan legislators and considered constitutional and there is no "There" with the IRS scandal. Whatcha got left in the far right quiver? I see that people are dragging out the "Michelle is ugly" threads again and the tea party legislators are doing everything in their power to derail comprehensive immigration reform even though the GAO released a report that it will cut the deficit substantially. That seems to be the best of the far right slap down at this moment. So yes, I find the far right agenda "disgusting" but it's much better than the progressive left and moderates being labeled "A cancer on the nation that needs to be eradicated", don't you think?
"Benghazi has run it's course". Actually it hasn't. Poindexte ris appertaining before a closed door session.

He will be asked WHY Hillary wasn't even questioned as well as many others who were involved.

The apologizing for something as awful as the NSA phone surveillance and PRISM because it has bipartisan support is amazing.....in an awful way.

It shows how much American citizens have become nothing but tools. They deserve to be thrown in camps.

Aurelia Fedenisn, a former investigator in the State Department’s Office of Inspector General, filed a report about the sex scandal but her report was scrubbed. The whistleblower claims that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton helped cover up misconduct that occurred in the department during her tenure now says law enforcement agents are harassing her.

Cummings has now released the reports which Issa was too cowardly to do, showing that Cummings was correct the whole time.

I hope the GOP machine and politicans issue a HUGE apology to the president for their completely false smear campaign based on lies,...

Rep. Elijah Cummings releases a full IRS interview transcript

1. I doubt anything will happen to Obama from the IRS, AP, and Behghazi scandals, not because he did nothing wrong, but due to the fact he has effectively covered his tracks.

2. The investigations are ongoing. No one can predict what conclusions will be made when they are completed. There is still the possibility of special prosecuters for each of the three scandals.

3. I would offer that Cummings could face penalties for violating House rules. Will he? Who knows.

If Issa had any dignity, he would resign from office. If not, he should be removed and arrested for treason after making up a bogus accusations against the president, then withheld evidence proving he was lying.

Meh. Bringing up other scandals in order to cover your wrongness doesn't make you any less wrong.

The IRS tea party investigations were instigated by one of your own, not Obama - what say you about that, exactly?
