Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Vista, is the would-be congressional guard dog whose investigative technique consists entirely of shooting first and asking questions never. The chairman of the House committee on oversight and investigation has finally been called on his practice of issuing subpoenas for documents and releasing them heedlessly, taking testimony and editing it down in the most dishonest way, and running off to Fox News in full spittle mode.
The pushback comes from the Department of Health and Human Services, which evidently has grown weary of Issa's "oversight" of the Affordable Care Act rollout. Issa has been right on top of the problems with the federal website, but his investigations seem designed less to get to the bottom of things and identify best practices than merely to get in the way.
