Thom Hartmann: Darrell Issa: "Fool me once..."
Darrell Issa has been shown to be a liar - and a fraud . Why would Issa suddenly do a 360 - and start up the Benghazi investigation again - when he’s been so adamant about getting to the bottom of the so-called IRS scandal? Issa’s sudden change in witch-hunting direction may have something to do with the not-so-surprising revelation that the entire IRS debacle has been one large manufactured scandal - created by Issa himself. According to the inspector general of the Treasury Department - whose report helped drive the IRS political targeting controversy - the examination into conservative groups was limited because of a request from Republicans in the House. A spokesperson for the Treasury’s Inspector General for tax administration Russell George - said that the IG’s office was asked by Congressman Darrell Issa himself - “to narrowly focus on Tea Party organizations.”
