Incoming House GOP chairmen have a long list of issues to investigate

House Republican leaders announced plans Monday for congressional investigations into a wide range of issues, from corruption in Afghanistan to Washington's regulation of private industries, using the power of their new majority to launch probes that could embarrass the Obama administration.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who will become chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee when the 112th Congress is sworn in Wednesday, said he would lead six major investigations in the first three months of the year. This is an ambitious undertaking by conventional standards, as congressional investigations often take months to bear fruit.

Issa, who will have power to subpoena government officials to appear before the committee, said he intended to conduct inquiries into the release of classified diplomatic cables by Wikileaks; recalls at the Food and Drug Administration; the role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the foreclosure crisis; the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission's failure to identify the origins of the meltdown; as well as business regulations and alleged corruption in Afghanistan.

Other incoming Republican committee chairmen are planning investigations into the Justice Department's civil rights division, the radicalization of Muslims in the United States, homeland security grant money and air cargo and port and chemical plant security.

7. A direct threat to the role of the FDA

in recalling products that will literally kill us.

But of course, no Dems are going to run on that. So we can count on this continuing to happen for the foreseeable future.

8. For two years the President kept trying to tell us that Republicans

are honest brokers with great ideas. I kept wondering if he had met Issa. I guess now he gets the chance!

9. Deja DU: Darrell Issa (R-CA) provides false information to AP about USA Carol Lam

Consider the timeline, and how long this had been going on.

May 18, 2006 - Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) provides false information to AP that Lam has prosecuted only 6% of 289 suspected immigrant smugglers.

Nov. 17, 2006 - Tasia Scolinos communicates with [e-mail], Scott Jennings, and others about the cover up plan and using the immigration excuse.

So, who is coordinating the conspiracy spanning the Republicans in Congress, EOP, DoJ, and ??.

From the questioning by Issa and others at the Congressional hearings, we see that the use of then renamed "coyote" problem was still an active cover up attempt by Republican Congress members. This continuing recent complicity is particularly alarming. When will they get it.
