The amazing thing about the Issa Witch-hunt it this

Some democrats are (or seem to be) surprised at his overreach and the vitriol.

T H I S ... I S... H O W... R E P U B L I C A N S.. A R E !!!

They do not crave power to legislate or to make the lives of their constituents better.

They want power so they can bully democrats. It's pretty much always been this way, and it probably will never change.

When power shifts, they scream like little babies and bully the dems into NOT pursuing really scandalous behavior , and seem to always prevail as democrats set out to legislate and eschew the temptation to retaliate. Republicans know that dems do not have the stomach for it, and are proven right every time we take over.

Does anyone even know how many subpoenas were ignored by the Bushies? Ashcroft, Cheney, Rice et al, repeatedly lied to congress, and nothing was ever done TO them...and now a BUSH policy is being tied around the neck of the guy who STOPPED those stupid policies, and he is being blamed for them.

This is all about the fact that his credibility MUST be squashed dead like a bug, so any dealings with voting irregularities can be ignored.

when we have a president who ran on transparency and the AG may have lied before congress in sworn testimony.
This was a Bush operation, why are they covering it up
