Issa Investigates White House Political Activities
politico ^

Posted on 07/12/2011 4:56:49 AM PDT by sunmars

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa is probing what he sees as signs of an unseemly overlap between President Barack Obama’s official and political activities.

In what could be considered the committee’s sharpest probe to date of the White House, Issa sent a letter to Obama’s top lawyer Monday evening asking for a slew of documents relating to what the California Republican termed as “an array of potentially illegal fundraising behavior.”

Issa seems ready to start looking into it and it’s about time.

Actually, the GOP has only had control of the House since January, and Issa has been hard at work for quite a while.

And I have no doubt that he has only just begun to fight.

I’m glad he knows how to multi-task. Keeping tabs on and bringing to justice so many corrupt/illegal goings-on with 0bama and company is like playing whack-a-mole.

Some of these are going to stick These ..and Issa is the one who could bring him down. Hopwfully sooner than the election...even if only by a week. Go Issa!!!

I was seriously thinking the same thing. Issa is a brave man.

No way, unless our suicide is desired, do we want to impeach BO dor two good reasons: Little barry will be easier to flog next year, than perhaps Hillary or another lib; and then, can you say "President Biden?".

No, methinks the 45th President should be ours, along with (hopefully) all the way to at least the 50th that follow her.

Yes, Issa certainly has a lot to look into. I was convinced there was a HUGE deal with the Michelle/Her bro/Mayor of Sac and Insp. General Walpin...Issa was on it...but it went away. Very disappointing.

I'm hoping against hope that F & F will be the ticket out of the WH for the little fraud. I hope Issa first goes after Holder, so the media will actually cover it, THEN drag little slime bucket Barry in. Oh, how I will RELISH when this guy is exposed.

You could live video coverage of Barry buying crew served automatic weapons from a gun show purchased with a check drawn from the Widows and Orphans Fund on US Treasury paper, then driving along the border hanging out the window gunning down women, children, young, old, Mexicans, cops and Americans, even the Pope in cold blood, and even if Walter Cronkite through a seance was commenting on the veracity of the scene - the Enemedia wouldn’t cover it or even acknowledge it happened.

This is true and very creepy. I’ve never seen the media like this, not with Clinton, NEVER. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? Is the coup complete? I’m not sure which is scarier, the Marxist Muslim narcissistic sociopath stinky fly attracting girly man in chief or the media? Every single day is a WTF day.

I’m liking Darrell Issa more every day. Not that anything will come of it, but that I know Issa is annoying the living cr*p out of the Boy King and his minions.

It’s about time.

Obama has used the Office of President to campaign and raise money from day one. Remember the scandal of soliciting and collecting email addresses that Major Garrett exposed?

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/08/07/white-house-collect-fishy-info-illegal-critics-say/

It is still going on and getting more blatant:

The White House and Organizing For AmeriKa are one and the same.

if they did cover it they would surmise that it was Palin and Limbaugh who were responsible for his behavior because of all their “hate” speech.....and I’m sure George Bush would have something to do with it....

There’s so much to go after. Issa seems ready to start looking into it and it’s about time.

It's a shame there is only 1 out of 535 members of Congress willing to investigate.

"Every single day is a WTF day."

That is the perfect summation of the FUBO years!

I've always liked Issa way before Zero was even my Senator...

He has a good BS meter and this "administration" has more BS than any other in the entire HISTORY of this Republic.

Personally, I think Zero's fundraising can wait. I would like to see Eric "My People" Holder thrown in the slammer for giving guns to drug runners and the death of a Border Patrol Agent.

Formal complaint to the Federal Election Committee to make it officially aware of this.

And Issa is taking issue with a campaign video that he says appears to have been shot in the White House, advertising a raffle to have dinner with Obama and Vice President Joseph R. Biden in return for contributions.

Subject: Allegedly Illegal Fundraising by Obama Campaign, June 2011

This sworn statement attests to the following specific item: On July 5, 2011, I saw "Obama Raffle Video Not Legal, Election Law Experts Say" by Matt Cover at CNSNews.com (http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/obama-raffle-video-not-legal-election-la) that alleges a violation of U.S. Code Title 18, subsection 607 “It shall be unlawful for an individual who is an officer or employee of the Federal Government, including the President, Vice President, and Members of Congress, to solicit or receive a donation of money or other thing of value in connection with a Federal, State, or local election, while in any room or building occupied in the discharge of official duties.” I have copied the article's text for your information but you can verify it by checking it online. The article cites http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idN06LgizUw&feature=player_embedded as evidence.

” My goodness...Issa must have invested in the leading manufacturer of shredding machines because he’s causing a flood of activity......
Good job, Darrell “

Nah, Issa is for fiscal responsibility. He borrowed Hillay & Renos shredding machines ;-)

Think of all the reporters who could win all kinds of accolades if they helped Issa with the investigation.

The new Woodward and Bernstein, if you will.

Too bad they are all fellating the Kenyan Klown.
