They had keys.

When theives bat 1,000, it isn’t paranoia....they are trying to get Issa’s research.

Is it too soon for the modern-day Deep Throat to show up, whispering “Follow the money!!”??

It’s ok, they’re just white rethuglicans anyway! They don’t have the same rights under the Just Us department of Mexican Murder.

Sounds like the congressmen need to install their own cameras.

How about a gang of GSA Plumber’s - as in Watergate Plumbers - seeking revenge?

Who inside the DOJ is leaking info to Issa? Eric Holder will find out by any means necessary.

On a different tack, it always seems that the Dems are able to staff the non-political positions of GAO, security, etc with Dems.

But even when the GOP is in the majority, the Dems still staff everything. I go back to Reagan days when my Congressman, Dan Rostenkowski, of the House Ways and Means committee controlled when and where civil service exams were given and who could get past his goons to take the exam for Dept of the Treasury, HHS, IRS, Social Security, etc.

If Security can't keep burglars out of the halls of Congress, how can they protect against terrorists??

Is it stranger that all 3 are on a committee of ISSA?

Only Gowdy is on Issa's Committee on Government Oversight and Reform -- which office was also burgled.

Lewis is the outgoing Chairman of the Appropriations Committee -- whose office was also burgled. He is retiring after this term.

Runyan serves on the Armed Services, Veterans Affairs and the Natural Resouces Committee.

I was informed that only one of the congressman was on Issa’s committee. I miss-read the article.

It is still a puzzling occurrence.

"Is is strange that only GOP Congressmen are targeted for theft."

Could be that Dem offices were also burgled, but the the stuff that was taken couldn't be reported. Like drugs.

I can’t help but think that the stolen objects are cover for the Congressional equivalent of Sandy Burger stuffing his pants with original documents some years back.

If they find the perp or perps, let Runyan deal with them.

I hope they try to burglarize the freshman that sleeps in his office, and I hope he carries.
