Democrats are accusing House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) of canceling a hearing on the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission this week because his committee uncovered documents which wouldn't have fit his narrative about what went wrong with the agency.

Peter Kadzick, an attorney for FCIC Chairman Phil Angelides, told TPM that Angelides arrived in D.C. on Sunday night for the Wednesday morning hearing but was told by an Issa staffer on Monday evening that "they had found some documents at the last minute that didn't fit the narrative."

Issa cancelled the hearing because, Democrats said, Republicans uncovered some evidence which didn't fit their narrative.

Some of that evidence included emails from Republican Commissioner Peter Wallison, who works at the American Enterprise Institute, urging colleagues "to use
their positions on the Commission to help House Republicans in their efforts to repeal the Dodd-Frank Act," according to a Democratic report:
