Issa, who made no secret of his ambition, took over the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, vowing to use the power of his chairmanship to stage hundreds of hearings and hold the Obama administration to account. Although he turned up embarrassing material,he hasn't made the all-important connection to the White House. And he may not be able to. The news that he won't release the full transcripts of his interviews with IRS officials--interviews he selectively quoted from to imply White House complicity--suggests that what they contain may in fact exonerate the administration of the very charge Issa is laboring so hard to prosecute. |
