Possibly Issa’s timing was excellent. He closed the televised hearing in a sudden move, taking away Cummins’s bloviating opportunity at the actual hearing and therefore on the record.
Now the vote on contempt charges can be taken off camera. Everyone is very aware of the power of the TV cameras these days. Too bad they didn’t have the mics under control.
