Darrell Issa Throws A Tantrum After Getting Kicked Out Of Benghazi Deposition

PoliticusUSA

Darrell Issa threw a tantrum today after he was escorted out of the room for trying to crash a closed-door deposition before the House Select Committee on Benghazi.

The Hill reported:

Former House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) tried to crash former Hillary Clinton adviser Sidney Blumenthal’s deposition before the House Select Committee on Benghazi on Tuesday.

Issa marched into the closed-door deposition and remained inside for about a minute before he was escorted out by the panel’s chairman, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.).

The pair briefly exchanged hushed words in a nearby hallway before Issa stormed off, throwing an empty soda can into a nearby trash bin.

Rep. Issa tried to crash the deposition that he was not invited to because he is still bitter about John Boehner kicking him off the Benghazi investigation. Issa responded to Boehner’s decision to no put him on the House Select Committee investigating Benghazi by trying to sabotage the investigation last year. In May of 2014, Issa went to the media and discussed a confidential State Department memo that debunked a big piece of the House Republican Benghazi conspiracy theory. http://www.politicususa.com/2014/05/22/disaster-strikes-republicans-darrell-issa-sabotages-big-benghazi-investigation.html

Deceptive as The Suits may be, after all appearance is more powerful in electoral politics than character by far. This guy is a U.S. congressman SINCE 2001! He's also, amazingly enough, now possibly its wealthiest member (???!). Foolish as Those Who Insist On Being Fooled All the Time may be (and apathetic as the rest may be), let's face it, he wouldnt be where he is without the special contribution of The Suits.

ratings for Congress, indeed. Then again my senators are Cornyn and Cruz. My Rep Williams is Tea Party as hell and wouldn't know a Republican ideal if it buggered him or he it.
