Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, said Wednesday that facts were not often on the side of Oversight chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA).
Speaking with MSNBC host Chris Matthews, Cummings was asked if he thought Issa was going to be more transparent about investigations into the IRS.
“I don’t know what he is going to do, but I can say one thing,” Cummings responded. “You asked how did this get out of hand with all these other people repeating what the chairman has said. I think they thought, they just assumed that when he said things like political enemies or the president was involved, they assumed that he had evidence.”
Issa directed Treasury inspector general to ignore IRS treatment of liberal groups
The guy flat out lied and twisted information for his own perverse politics.
This is why nothing gets done. Issa is a fool.
