On Wednesday, a hearing on Capitol Hill exploded as Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) accused Attorney General Eric Holder’s Department of Justice of dropping a case against the city of St. Paul, MN, in 2011 in exchange the city dropping a civil rights case that was heading to the Supreme Court. Rep. Holder and Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX) blew up over the charge and went after Issa for both his methods and his manner of questioning. Holder attacked Issa after he was accused of intentionally withholding information, saying Issa’s conduct was “unacceptable” and “shameful.”
