Darrell Issa Is Raising Millions Of Dollars Off Of His Bogus Obama Investigations
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) is one of the wealthiest members of Congress, but he is raising millions of dollars off of his bogus Obama investigations.
Darrell Issa has turned investigating right wing Obama conspiracy theories into a cottage industry. In 2013, Rep. Issa raised $2.15 million. This is an impressive haul for a member of Congress who isnt a chairman of a powerful committee. Issa is raising the money by using his power as chairman of the House Oversight Committee to investigate every conspiracy that makes its way through the conservative media pipeline of talk radio and Fox News.
Rep. Issa has packed his hearings full of witnesses that support his predetermined position. No matter what the hearing topic, Issa has already decided that President Obama is a criminal and everything he does is unconstitutional. Issa is also notorious for cherry picking through documents and releasing edited testimony to the media that only supports his belief that President Obama is a criminal.
Issa is Congress version of Fox News. He comes into every hearing with a predetermined anti-Obama agenda. Rep. Issa has discovered that he can raise big bucks by wasting taxpayer money, and telling the Republican rank and file exactly what they want to hear about Obama.
