The Democrat set to face off against Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) on the House Oversight panel suggested brokering an agreement between Issa and the Obama administration on the public release of sensitive information to congressional investigators.

There is already an agreement, it's called a subpoena.

Feeling a bit nervous, Sparky?

These next 18 months are going to be diverting, if nothing else.

Secrets, laws of all sorts, senate & house rules, the Democrats have gotten quite used to the double standards haven’t they.

I think Issa will take the bait. He’s part of the “establishment”.

I hope Issa and the House have that power. Sad that the whole country and SCOTUS are totally corrupt and the citizenry has “no standing.”

All of a sudden the Dems are worried about the good of the country. There’s a refreshing change.

Cummings (D-Md) said it might be possible to negotiate a compromise that would avoid exposing national security secrets or other privileged information.

And of course actual audits of Fannie and Freddie would constitute "privileged" "national security" information that couldn't possibly be released to the public.

watch the scumbag dhims throw sand in the gears. Objection after objection with lots of obfustication thrown in for good measure. I’ll bet it will take a week to name and swear in the first witness

Back in the 90's Dems were out of power in congress, but almost completely rolled over Republicans in hearings about so many alleged illegalities. Republicans didn't insist that people appear before congress to publicly invoke their fifth amendment rights. They stupidly accepted a letter from their lawyers. One former (NY Prosecutor?) said that he had never seen so many people flee the country or invoke the fifth since the mafia hearings. Just think of the campaign ad that could have been made with one person after the other publicly invoking the fifth. I have very little hope that Republicans will be any smarter now. I will continue to pray for our country.

"...Make sure the country isn't being threatened,"

The country IS being threatened, by you and your fellow travellers, Mr. Cummings.
