HERSHEY, Pa.—Rep. Darrell Issa, the conservative firebrand whose specialty is lobbing corruption allegations at the Obama White House, is making plans to hire dozens of subpoena-wielding investigators if Republicans win the House this fall.
The California Republican’s daily denunciations draw cheers from partisans and bookings from cable TV producers. He even bought his own earphone for live shots. But his bombastic style and attention-seeking investigations draw eye rolls from other quarters. Now, he’s making clear he won’t be so easy to shrug off if he becomes chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee in 2011.
Issa has told Republican leadership that if he becomes chairman, he wants to roughly double his staff from 40 to between 70 and 80. And he is not subtle about what that means for President Barack Obama.
At a recent speech to Pennsylvania Republicans here, he boasted about what would happen if the GOP wins 39 seats, and he gets the power to subpoena.
“That will make all the difference in the world,” he told 400 applauding party members during a dinner at the chocolate-themed Hershey Lodge. “I won’t use it to have corporate America live in fear that we’re going to subpoena everything. I will use it to get the very information that today the White House is either shredding or not producing.”

And I still say impeachment proceedings next year, heck, I can see them from my HOUSE!
Zero has violated his oath by plunging the U.S. into unsustainable debt.
PING
Note to Issa: While you’re at it, take a look at the deal that sprang the Lockerbie bomber.
Yeah, I know Politico’s left-leaning tendencies. Always an attempt to add their own descriptor instead of just naming the individual, a not so subtle mind trick.
But hey, if there wasn’t such an avalanche of corruption in the WH, Issa would have found something else to do now, wouldn’t he?
I’d say that the Left is attacking Issa because they’re afraid of him.
Good. When a person is doing the correct thing, the Left starts using “Rules for Radicals” ~~~ only NOW, We The People are aware of their tactics.
May your wish come true.
” But his bombastic style and attention-seeking investigations draw eye rolls from other quarters. “
Yeah, eye rolls from the RINO Republicans too.
I say ROAST THEM ALL!!! For their tyrannical legislative methods of the past 2 years.
I have been saying for a long time that Hussein will not serve out his term. He will resign or be impeached. I can imagine either outcome.
Yep!
Yeah...Lugar, Grassley and the rest of the RINOs.
Lugar doesn’t work on behalf of the United States, he works for the U N.
Grassley is a RINO whore. So are a number of others, like McCain, who should be in Gitmo for throwing the election to the “Usurper”
We are in trouble. The GOP has yet to come up with a coherent
As to how to handle Obama for the next two years. Impeachment? Knock yourself out. Waste a year on that to have it dismissed in the Senate? The serious thought about how to reverse Obama has not been done. The election is 3 and a half months away. We still have no idea on precisely how the Republicans are going to restore the country.
The GOP? Looks to me as if they can't wait to get back to log-rolling with the Democrats ... just from a much stronger position. Issa? Big deal. Big mouth. All the supoenas in the world are not going to purge the government of Obama Marxists. While this guy is posturing, the Democrats are working on consolidating the Lame Duck Session from Hell.
You thought Obamacare was bad? Wait until you see what Obma and his dying majority in the House are going to dump on us for quick approval in the Democrat Senate. One-Party rule is a bitch to end ... worse with no idea on how to do it.
Thanks for the headsup. Issa is The Man.
“He’s very dangerous,” said a Democratic House aide. “He doesn’t have any parameters. He’s scary smart.”
Lately, Democratic apparatchiks have started flooding reporters with thick files of old articles referring to run-ins with the law during Issa’s youth. Democrats also recently shopped a 12-year-old news story about Issa’s inconsistencies in discussing his military service during a 1998 campaign.”
VEEEERY Interesting ping!
Obama and the dems are getting very scared of what is coming. It’s obvious from these two paragraphs. They are about to be caught red handed and exposed for their corruption and incompetence if we win in November...so they are setting the stage to attack the messenger.
GO ISSA!! We got your back!

It wouldn’t be considered “showboating” if the whole lot of spineless Republicans jumped on his bandwagon. Issa is investigating criminals, who have definitely committed criminal acts.
“We still have no idea on precisely how the Republicans are going to restore the country. “
They don’t have a clue. That should be obvious right now.

Better to “expose” the evil, rather than hide in a closet, like the rest of the spineless , clueless SOB Republicans are doing.

I have posted many times, that if Obama isn’t stopped, he will destroy the United States by 2012. As of now, I see nothing to stop him. Another thing...if this is how the Republicans respond to Obama, don’t count on that big “turnover” in November. I’ll believe it when I see it.
We have done NOTHING to earn it.
