GTA Issa is about to finally get what's coming

Turning off that microphone to prevent a senior Congressman from questioning him is a violation of all of the so called ethics of the House. How dare Issa diss Elijah Cummings?

Make that nasty vindictive ReTHUG scumbag pay!!!

1. As long as his party of crooks and toadies control the House, he will go unpunished.

It's sad but that party has never recognized the rule of law as applying to themselves.

Same shit they're trying with our teachers. Who the fuck do these ReTHUGs think they are.
You're so right- the rule of law and indeed all the civil and political rights only belong to these scumbags.

The boy king's "you're with us or against us" attitude set what seems to have become a permanent disrespectful, thuggish behavior for his minions.

I remember back when Jim Sensenbrenner turned off John Conyers' mic while he was speaking, then turning out the lights on his way out. I looked for a YT video of it but it's no longer there.

regarding the IRS investigation... that they found nothing and keep going back to the same dry well...Congressman Issa selectively leaks inaccurate information...treats Fox News like it's a 4th branch of government to help him prosecute this case when there's absolutely no basis...

I love Joan!
