Darrell Issa challenges House GOP to “shutdown the government” over Clinton email investigation: “Are you willing to shutdown all business of the people for this?”

Issa says the FBI failing to recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton is worse than Obamacare

SOPHIA TESFAYE

Darell Issa is apparently still a little salty over being pushed out of his chairmanship over the House Oversight Committee in favor of a young and ambitious congressman. Hours after his replacement, Utah Republican Jason Chaffetz, announced an unprecedented hearing into the FBI’s recommendation not to pursue criminal charges against Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server as secretary of state, calling Director James Comey to Capitol Hill to testify this week, Issa attempted to one-up his replacement.

Calling previous Republican-led government shutdowns over things like Obamacare “small points compared to the actual balance of our republic,” the California Republican who once vowed never to vote for a government shutdown, called for one over the FBI’s email investigation.

“I received and accepted their unanimous recommendation that the thorough, year-long investigation be closed and that no charges be brought against any individuals within the scope of the investigation,” Attorney General Loretta Lynch said in a statement after meeting with FBI Director James Comey Wednesday.

“The administration is covering its own backend,” Issa alleged on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily Wednesday. “That is the crisis we face. We are in a crisis because Hillary Clinton, if the voters do not stop her, will be the next President of the United States,” Issa, who has claimed that “there is more than enough for an indictment,” said.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

22. The only reason Issa and Rohrabacher get re-elected is because

We nominate utter and complete pieces of shit to run against them.

[riversedge]

11. Saw an email saying that Republicans are moving to prevent Hillary from getting

security clearance. This shit is getting scary.

[George II]

16. They can't.

[riversedge]

18. While they do not question give lunitic Trump security clearance.

[George II]

21. That's the irony of that stupidity. But the House and or Senate don't decide which candidates...

....get security briefings.

[underpants]

36. Yeah and I saw a FB from Breitbart about her commiting perjury in the BENGHAZI hearing

When she said she'd turned over all work emails.

They don't have any other scandals so they have to ride this as long as they can.

[zazen]

12. Darryl "Grand Theft Auto" Issa? A moral giant, to be sure ;-) n/t

[Mister Ed]

13. "failing to recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton is worse than Obamacare"

And wasn't Obamacare worse than slavery? Or just as bad, or something? I have trouble keeping up with the crazy.

[SDJay]

14. I Can't Believe This Asshat

is our congresscritter. It only happened after redistricting, but somehow this POS wins every two years. It amazes me. He's an embarrassment.

[oasis]

15. Nutball Issa led the California recall effort against Gray Davis.

When Davis got the boot, Issa thought he would be the people's choice. Oops, they choose AHnold. Much boohooing by Issa followed. His struggle for relevance continues.

[rtracey]

43. yup

I also notice Issa is not a guest on Bill Maher anymore either. The last time he was on there he was the chairman of the oversite committee, and in the overtime segment, he under the conversation to Maher said Hillary was not responsible for Benghazi....so he is just bitter

[C_U_L8R]

17. Bwahahaha spit-take

Proceed Mr Grand Inquisitor.

(I can't stop smirking)

[jpak]

19. Go ahead assholes - do it - we want the House back

yup

[Matthew28]

23. Go ahead republicans

Hand the house back to the democrats! hahaha. Dumb bastards.

[bucolic_frolic]

24. Issa and the legions in Congress like him

are absolute lunatics.

It's just about ego and bluster at this point

These are the guys that tout the "rule of law"

The FBI is not good enough for them? Seriously?

[liberalhistorian]

32. You have to understand that these fuckers think of the FBI the way

that Nixon did, hell, the way that Hoover himself thought of it. That is, it's not to be an impartial non-partisan entity, but an agency that exists to do the bidding of those in power for whatever reason they want. And those reasons are namely to fuck up the other side and any other opposition in any way they're told.

[Chasstev365]

25. Anyone from his San Diego area district?

Can't the Dems run a formidable candidate and oust him? I would think his BS is running thin even with conservatives.

[muntrv]

27. Here's his challenger.

[Lance Bass esquire]

28. For being laid back SoCal

The industrial military complex runs the show.

Navy and Marine bases. Shipyards, SPAWAR you name it its here.

They have those seats bought and paid for.

To quote my Mexican freinds.

NO fawking Bueno.

[muntrv]

26. I challenge Issa to a shutdown of his mouth.

[beachbumbob]

29. I pray GOP shuts govt down...that would be the stake in

Their heartless corpses in November

[rurallib]

35. please, please, please

[allan01]

30. here we go again and these assholes want to tank the economy again.

[liberalhistorian]

31. I wish we could shut down republican

congress critters, every last one of them. I'm so sick of their petty, hateful, childish, party-first, to-hell-with-the-country bullshit that is ruining us. WHY can't voters see through this shit and see them all for who and what they really are? And that zombie-eyed granny starver Ryan has the goddamned gall to complain about Democratic "publicity stunts?"

[Laser102]

33. The only way Hillary can be charged with anything is if she sent classified info. out of the State

Department network. To a reporter or a congressman etc. She didn't and that's why the FBI didn't charge her. You would think before this horses ass shoots his mouth off, he would familiarize himself with the legal standards for a crime. Unlike the crap he got away with. Arson is a crime.

[tonyt53]

34. This guy needs to hook back up with Larry and the other Darrell.

Sorry youngsters, you'll have to Google Larry, Darrell and Darrell.

[slingsam]

37. Ass*ole plugs his own hind end!

[no_hypocrisy]

38. Because he can't get his candidate elected on his own merits.

Now THAT'S strategy . . . . .

[DinahMoeHum]

39. Support the Democratic challenger in Issa's district. . .

Send the Marine, Douglas Applegate, to Congress.

40. San Diego Tribune - Darrell Issa says Donald Trump is "obvious choice"

Would it surprise you that Darrell Issa has endorsed Donald Trump back in May while other House members were still on the fence?

http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2016/may/05/darrell-issa-endorses-donald-trump/

A little over two months after he said that Donald Trump would be disastrous for the Republican Party, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Vista, on Thursday said the business tycoon is the best candidate for president.

He said that Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton would be like a third term for the Obama Administration, and that “Donald Trump is the obvious choice for every American suffering from eight years of disastrous economic policies and anti-job regulations that have caused real pain to tens of millions of Americans who need and deserve better.”

Issa previously supported Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who dropped out of the GOP primary process in March.

* * *
“Hillary Clinton makes it clear she's running for Barack Obama's third term in the White House with nothing but a different name on the door. That makes our choice all the more obvious,” Issa's statement said.

[left-of-center2012]

41. Oh please do !

Remind America how F&%$#ed up the GOP is.

[yellowcanine]

42. STFU Darrell. Don't you have some fires to set or some cars to steal?

[Penn Voter]

44. Shut it down?

you don't do a friggin thing anyway. How can the people tell when you stop doing your job? You don't do a damn thing for the citizens anyway. You're worthless bums. The Republican Congress' 11% approval rating tells the story. The congress is one big clown show.
