“Hi. I’m Darrell Issa. I’ve called President Obama the most corrupt President in History. I’ve also said that the IRS targeting of Conservative groups goes right to the White House”.

“But if I release the full transcripts, then just like the Benghazi ‘scandal, everyone will see there is no ‘there’ there and the IRS ‘scandal will go away too”.

– – – – – – –

WASHINGTON — ‘One week after he released partial transcripts of interviews with IRS officials involved in the scandal surrounding the targeting of conservative groups, the chair of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee said releasing the full transcripts would be “reckless” and “irresponsible.”

‘Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) pushed back Tuesday against calls to put out more information on the committee’s investigation into the controversy, sparked after a Treasury Department Inspector General report revealed the IRS had singled out tea party groups applying for nonprofit status for extra scrutiny’.

‘Responding specifically to criticism from Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the ranking Democratic member of the committee, Issa said that releasing full interviews conducted with IRS employees would hurt the ongoing investigation.

“Your decision to publicly announce that the investigation should wrap up was irresponsible, but not surprising,” said Issa, in a letter to Cummings. “However, your push to release entire transcripts from witness interviews while the investigation remains active was reckless and threatened to undermine the integrity of the Committee’s investigation.”

‘The position is a tenuous one for Issa, who during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” just over a week ago promised that the full transcripts would be released’.

‘On that same program, Issa revealed several partial transcripts that suggested the directive to screen tea party groups came from officials in Washington’.

  1. Of course it’s irresponsible to release the full evidence. Because then the truth might come out, and it may really undermine Issa’s investigation.
