Issa crawls back under his rock...

http://news.yahoo.com/issa-probe-fails-white-house-irs-scandal-160604665--finance.html


A House Republican investigation faults senior IRS officials in the mistreatment of conservative groups that applied for tax-exempt status, but could find no link to the White House, according to a report released Tuesday.

The probe isn't over, although investigators have reviewed 1.3 million pages of documents and interviewed 52 officials. The report, however, marks the end of Rep. Darrell Issa's tenure leading the investigation.

Issa, a Republican from California, is stepping down as chairman of the House Oversight Committee because of term limits. Issa has repeatedly clashed with the White House and congressional Democrats over the way the IRS treated tea party and other conservative groups.

The guy running against him this last time got 40% of the vote. Issa has to keep his mouth front and center so as to not get beaten next time.
