Darrell Issa’s committee to investigate why open-air memorials were closed as part of shutdown

House oversight committee chairman Darrell Issa has launched an investigation into why the WWII memorial and other open-air monuments have been shut down.

“These properties belong to the American people. They do not belong to a Political party. There is no reason to ever shut those folks out from that,” said Representative Mike Kelly in an emotional speech…

Issa’s investigation is at its preliminary stages, Frederick Hill, his spokesman, said. But his committee will be exploring whether decisions were made to close monuments and other attractions for political reasons, potentially as a means of worsening the pain of a shutdown to increase political pressure on House Republicans.

Especially when they have no problem finding 445 million for the corporation of public broadcasting (propaganda for Hussein The Terrorist)

I’m with you. With all we have going on now, this is just silly. In 6 months we will have forgotten this and still be waiting on Hillary to testify.

Issa Starts a lot of investigations. Has he ever had any success with one of them?

I don’t Remember much happening with fast & Furious, Benghazi was joke, The IRS is still hosing us down and getting ready to screw us royally when Obamacagre comes a long.

Yes: Mr. Issa Investigate, but lets try to get something done instead of letting Eric Holder go , letting Hillary off the hook, and not jailing Lois Lerner.

In a saner government Obama’s actions or those of his minions would bring about IMPEACHMENT orders. Remember Nixon and Watergate? This is quantitatively far worse.

Investigate?!?! Turn on the TV, Mr. Issa. Log on somewhere for 5 minutes.

Pathetic.

Issa needs to personally walk down there and remove the barrycades.

Park Police won’t touch him.

I agree - go start an online petition to impeach the secy. of the interior.

I’ll sign it.

I would do it myself, but I am a little busy in Afghanistan, at the moment.

Do these people have no concept that their actions reveal them as buffoons?

Issa investigating is like having Stevie Wonder as forward lookout.

Exactly. Issa just stirs the pot and never finishes anything he starts. Sound and fury signifying nothing.
