I started this thread and I stick by its title. Why Issa allowed Lois Lerner to defend her "innocence", make a general statement that she wouldn't ansswer any questions, and leave is unbelievable.

The obviuous approach was to ask her the questions and force her to claim her rights under the Fifth Amendment over and over again. That is how it is done. Political? Of course. Everything is political. Nonetheless, you create a negative sequence that can be played over and over. The average (typical) low information citizen of this country needs these dramatic sequences in order to get their attention. What was allowed to occur will never sink into their brains as they prepare for another Dancing with the Stars rerun.

I immediately wondered what law school Issa attended and whether or not he passed Trial Procedure I. The truth is, he never attended law school. His performance sure backed that up. He blew the opportunity. Oh, some will say he was fair. We aren't playing "butt kiss" here. Fairness isn't a consideration.

Trey Gowdy, the congressman from the Palmetto State, should be running these hearings. He, a former federal prosecutor, is far more capable than Issa. Issa failed Teddy Roosevelt's rule. Issa speaks loud but apparently lost his stick.

Issa dealt a blow to the cause of truth.
