Darrell Issa tells Bill Maher that he'd never, ever use his committee for partisan witch hunts, despite the fact that partisan witch hunts are about all those hearings have been used for.
From this Friday's Real Time With Bill Maher Overtime segment, Rep. Darrell Issa managed to monopolize the better part of the discussion when Maher read him one of the questions submitted by his audience, asking whether or not there should be a neutral branch doing oversight, rather than Congress and the likes of Darrell Issa, which is always partisan.
Issa of course felt that he and his committee were doing a fine job and tried making comparisons to the work that Henry Waxman did during the Bush administration, and denied that the hearings he's been holding had anything to do with partisanship.
He got some push back from Maher, but there was a ton of BS that passed from Issa's lips that Maher and the other guests, Ronan Farrow and Chrystia Freeland, who actually got a chance to weigh in here, let pass.
