Eddie Bernice Johnson, Maxine Waters and Snooki Rangel are a few of the fools who need investigated.

The mere thought of Issa on the prowl is causing rat sphincters to tighten all over DC.

The Dodd/Countrywide connection especially needs investigating.

Maybe by the time he’s in front of Issa’s committee he’ll have had time to read the Arizona law and come up with a plausible explanation as to why Arizona is being sued for implementing immigration policy and sanctuary cities, who defy, go their way with impugnity.

I don’t think the public will welcome three solid years of wasted time and money on witch hunts for the purpose of retribution. Issues front and center should be those that have direct impact on the public. If the charges are corruption, they should have direct bearing on legislation or policy. No one wants to see millions spent on producing a stained blue dress.

I’m beginning to suspect all this “investigating” Issa keeps talking about will amount to nothing more than a whitewash.
