Would that it were that easy. I’m really happy that Issa is keeping the heat on them, because the more he persists, the more is revealed - things that I think even he didn’t expect.
If we take the Senate, we can talk about impeachment. Otherwise, it’s all blather. Clinton was impeached by the House and happily served out his term, with obviously no damage to his ability to rake in huge amounts of money for his speaking gigs. In fact, it made him even more of a celebrity among Dems.
Clinton’s most serious chargeable crime was perjury, and it seemed to involve him alone (and probably the lovely Hillary, who of course had her own legal problems that she got away with). But in the case of the Obama WH, many people have committed many crimes that have violated statutes up one side and down the other. Most of these people cannot be “impeached” because they’re not elected officials.
They must be investigated and referred for charges or, within the limited power of the House, charged in House proceedings. The big problem is that the DOJ, which would oversee criminal prosecution, is under Eric Holder, who would kill his own mother for Obama.
Well... hopefully another president will find it more advisable to go after the former president’s lackeys, unlike another guy I can think of.
A new Justice Department head should have plenty of work to keep a division of his men busy for years.
That is satire, I assume. Issa's committees are where issues go to die. Issa is like the playground wimp who whines and complains and goes and tells on people for being bad. What follows from these types is.....nothing. They just feel good about tattling without taking any risks.
How about having some of these people arrested? How about getting the HOR to defund something, say AF1 and Obama's vacation expenses? WHAT HAS ISSA ACTUALLY DONE EXCEPT LET OBAMA OFF THE HOOK, EVERY TIME?
One can't help but think Issa is a plant from the other side....raise a little outrage, then drop the issue.
