The director of the White House's political office defied a subpoena from the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, setting up a new high-profile fight between the White House and House Republicans.
Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said administration claims that White House political director David Simas was immune from testimony were “absurd” and “deeply disturbing.”
“The American people have a right to know if their tax dollars are being used for political activity,” Issa said, adding that Simas's testimony was “critically important” to his investigation into whether the political office had violated the Hatch Act, a law prohibiting executive branch employees from engaging in partisan campaign activity.

Well of course they violated the Hatch Act. That’s why they don’t want the guy to show up and perjure himself.
Lois Lerner takes the Fifth. Defies Congress.
This guy defies a Congressional subpoena.
Eric Holder defies a contempt of Congress citation;
Obama defies the rule of law and the Constitution daily.
Anyone else see a pattern here?
The question is, who is going to do something about it?
The above obviously feel the answer is : NO ONE.
Would anybody even have known about this without Issa?
The above things will probably all happen, not necessarily immediately, but they’ll happen. And there would have been no chance of this without the investigations.
Began by actually issuing FEDERAL INDICTMENTS.
Was G. Gordon Liddy a CRIMINAL and Lois Lerner is NOT?
