Rep. WAXMAN TO KICK Rep.*DARRELL ISSA FROM CONGRESS 2008 ~ Rep. ISSA on *AMERICAN POOR ENVY* 2015



* "I WILL HAVE YOU PHYSICALLY REMOVED FROM THIS ROOM IF YOU DON'T STOP!", Rep. HENRY WAXMAN (D-CA) to Rep. DARRELL ISSA (R-CA), May 20, 2008 in the US Congress House of Representatives, during a House Investigation.

Chairman of the House Oversight and Governmental Reform Committee, Rep. HENRY WAXMAN (D-CA) conducts a House Investigation Hearing on EPA OZONE STANDARDS and OVERSIGHT.
The witness testifying in the House Investigation is Stephen Johnson, EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) Administrator. Chairman Waxman presses Johnson about the many telephone conversations Johnson had with President George W. BUSH, and whether they included discussions of particular ozone rules. The witness's answers to the questions are considered extremely evasive by Chairman Waxman.

During the witness's Congressional testimony, **Rep. DARRELL ISSA (R-CA), who is seated near Chairman Waxman, repeatedly interrupts the Hearing by asking about House procedure rules, to the point where Waxman finally says to Issa that he will have him physically removed from the room if he doesn't stop. Rep. Issa is a multimillionaire member of Congress from California and a former businessman.

2. Rep. Darrell Issa is special, a one of a kind type of legislator, if you exclude Wisconsin Senator

Joseph McCarthy who served in Congress, 1947-1957. And the American poor certainly have quite a spokesperson in Issa, a multimillionaire and former California businessman.

ruthless and even superficially charming, especially ones in positions of power where they excel at risk taking and immense damage. Better scientific research is needed for detecting these forceful, negative personality types before they destroy people and the earth.

~ SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS ~ Thus Always to Tyrants. The Great Seal of Virginia which features the Latin phrase was created during the American Revolution and designed by George Wythe, law professor of Thomas Jefferson and signer of the Declaration of independence. On July 5, 1776 a law for a new seal was adopted for the independent Commonwealth. America's last absolute monarch was King George III of England. No more tyranny.

or whipped up in fear and anger at 'others' while elites make off with the goods. Nothing about SOCIOPATHIC personality types, especially in finance and politics will ever get out to any extent in M$M for sure!

As we know, many people are suckers made monsters by 24/7 Hate Media that is everywhere. Most are unaware of so many valuable, truthful (non-RW corporate), independent news websites and media outlets online like FSTV (Free Speech TV), Truthout, Raw Story, AlterNet, the Nation, TYT, Daily Kos which are not promoted well IMO unfortunately.

5. Watching Rep. Waxman press the evading EPA witness who does not want to reveal information

to answer the questions is an act of skill, patience and experience. Same with Waxman's handling of the aggressive with an agenda interference, blocking by Rep. Issa. We're so fortunate to have had Congressman Waxman looking out for the US for such a long time.

In the 2nd recent Video it sounds like Rep. Darrell Issa should be a member of India's Parliament, the Lower House in the bicameral legislature, the Lok Sabha, Assembly of the People.
