1. Issa calls for Sessions to recuse himself and for a special prosecutor to investigate Trump Russia

aka Repugs know that Trump is toxic.

[elleng]

2. Didn't exactly 'call for.'

So much blah blah in there, unlikely issa would affirm substance of the headline, unfortunately (imo.)

[Chasstev365]

3. HOLY SHIT!

Is this a turning point???

[gordianot]

4. That is frightening and alarming.

[Mme. Defarge]

5. It may be all over

but the shouting.

[ghostsinthemachine]

6. Wow! Issa?

This is huge. Huger than huge. Yuge!

[coco22]

7. Fake ass!

What took so long. He knows what is coming down the road. Look at those bags under his eyes,BEEN LOSING SLEEP ASSHOLE!

Doug Applegate (D) came within 1612 votes of winning Issa's seat in Congress. Issa is running scared and has to look even minimally responsive to his constituents.

[truebluegreen]

36. Bingo.

He's already looking at 2018..

[superpatriotman]

8. He is lying to you

He lied all the way through that interview because he was in a room full of liberals being interviewed by a liberal familiar.

Don't hold your breath for this liar.

[Leith]

32. That's What I Thought, Too

I'll believe it when I see it.

[pinboy3niner]

37. He gives lip service but there is ALWAYS a catch. nt

[DURHAM D]

9. He will need to run over to Fox and change/fix this. nt

[Jarqui]

10. Issa is near the top of the list of people I cannot stand in Washington

but it's impossible to disagree with him.

Trump is unraveling. He's mentally ill. He obviously can't handle the job.
The only question is when they're going to do something about it.

[babylonsister]

11. I can't stand either one of them. I don't trust them either. nt

[Generic Brad]

12. I do not believe Congressman Ben Ghazzi!

He did his damnedest to subvert democracy with his phony non-stop Clinton investigations. He has done nothing to atone or earn trust. I call bullshit.

[Eyeball_Kid]

21. You call bullshit while Issa is calling off the hounds of hell.

His district can turn blue at the drop of a hat. Issa craps in his pants at random times now. He's got no control over the angry mobs in his district or anything else. All he can do is survive.

Yeah. Don't assume honesty in his words. Watch what he does.

13. I won't hold my breath

But good for Bill for going after it.

[Eyeball_Kid]

18. It'll be difficult for even Issa to reverse course on this. He was unequivocal, eh?

[Lotusflower70]

19. No doubt

It was surprising. I am guarded. I see the corruption. I want to hold on to hope and believe that right will win out but it won't be easy. It will be interesting for him at work that's for sure.

[Brother Buzz]

14. Issa is running scared thinking about the midterms

Issa narrowly won his re-election in California, and knows his chances of loosing in 2018 increase everyday the orange anus sits in the White House running amok.

[bdamomma]

15. and those representatives

who are running away from their constituents are not going to be re-elected. they will pay dearly.

[SHRED]

16. Issa didn't show at his town hall

Fuck him.

[Brother Buzz]

22. I don't disagree, and he knows he has a target on his back

Democrats launch early effort to unseat Ed Royce, Darrell Issa from Congress

Feb. 2, 2017

The Democratic Party has launched an unprecedented early effort to unseat GOP representatives in 20 congressional districts across the country in 2018, including Orange County’s Ed Royce and Darrell Issa.

Royce, R-Fullerton, and Issa, R-Vista, and others are being targeted by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for an early, all-out push by local activists to harness the energy from recent marches, rallies and protests against actions taken by President Donald Trump. Issa also represents parts of south Orange County.

“This unprecedented DCCC investment will help capture that energy, engage voters and help make their voices heard,” the group said in a news release Thursday.

Full-time, local organizers will be hired by the Democratic Party to work with constituents, the release said.

The vast majority of the targeted members of Congress are from GOP districts that voted for Hillary Clinton over Trump, such as districts represented by Issa and Royce. One other Calfornia congressman on the group’s radar is Jeff Denham, R-Turlock, whose district also favored Clinton.

The ass is running scared!!!!

[SHRED]

23. Go Applegate!!!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

17. Good point.

[uponit7771]

20. More shit talking from sKeered kkkons

[applegrove]

24. The public anger is getting results.

[zentrum]

25. They all do these double

...fients. Was reading today how Senator Collins was demanding to see his tax returns---only later to read that she weaseled and didn't quite mean that.

There is no principaled Repug. They only want to pass their agenda--privatize everything, lower taxes on the rich, remove regulations, lower voting rights. The rest is window dressing.

So I don't trust Issa at all to actually mean this. Or the Independent Investigator will be some Heritage Foundation flack that gives a better appearance than Sessions.

Never ever trust the Repugs on questions of ethics.

[Dopers_Greed]

26. Wow

Even Darrell Arse-a is turning on Agent Orange

[aeromanKC]

27. Onion?

That was my first thought.

[Doreen]

28. OK, uhmm, OK

I could have sworn they were talking about investigating Trump and his people and all of a sudden he is talking about investigating just the Russians. He seemed to me to be side stepping the answer that was being sought about yes or no to appointing the proper people to investigate it. Did I miss something?

[nini]

29. Wait! what? Issa?

I'll be right back after I pick my jaw up off the floor.




on edit: I think he's blowing hot air but we'll see. That fact he even let those words cross his lips goes to show how desperate they are all between the heat from their constituents and their dirty ugly secrets on the verge of being exposed.

[Zambero]

33. Amazing what winning a "safe seat" election by 2% can do!

His margins of victory have been diminishing over the past few election cycles. His district also voted for HRC in the past election. Of course he is correct in his statement, but his motivation is surviving politically.

[democrank]

34. Issa is hanging by a political thread

and the group demanding results from him has scissors. That's why he suddenly managed to scrape together a little courage.

[triron]

35. Fallout from what broke today on the WaPo?

[UCmeNdc]

38. a Special prosecutor with subpoena powers

There has to be a Special prosecutor with subpoena powers appointed to investigate Trump's administration Russian Spy contacts.
