Darrell Issa on FOX News: Promises more subpoenas coming out quickly and "the first" Gunwalker Scandal hearing "by summer."

The hearings cometh. Homer Simpson tries out his new gig as an ATF political analyst.

Remember this?

Although the video is not yet posted, Darrell Issa, in an exclusive interview with FOX News today, promised more subpoenas in short order (likely just as I predicted to be issued beginning on 13 June) and hearings "by summer." The first hearing will focus on the victims of the murderous Gunwalker policy. He said that the Gunwalker scandal came from the "highest levels" of the administration.

The first day of summer is 21 June.

The countdown to hearings begins.

Bad Cyborg said...: Subpoenas are worthless without a credible threat of unpleasant consequences. I'm sorry to say it but were I in DOJ's place, I would ignore Congressman Issa's subpoenas too. It can take YEARS for a contempt of congress action to come to fruition - if, indeed, it ever does!

It is time for Rep. Issa to grow a pair, lace on a pair of steel-toed brogands, sharpen his pencil and start kicking ass and taking names. Surely there enough Republicans and almost Republicans in the House to to push a Contempt of Congress ruling in a reasonable time. Then the Sergeant at Arms of the House can go fetch the miscreants. If DOJ is stupid enough to use Federal Marshals to stop the SaA then that itself should be a Boston Massacre type action.

Someone here who is in Re;. Issa's district needs to fax or snail mail him and tell him it is time to shit or get the hell off the pot.

Anonymous said...: Bad Cyborg and everyone else with an interest in this. Just because you do not live in the man's district does not mean you can't weigh in on the subject.

No matter what district, any thing an elected federal official does effects ALL of us. Write him and let him know that this cncerns everyone and let him know your feelings. Use an attention grabbing brightly colored 3X5 and send a brief message to increase the heat. Be polite. I did.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
