Issa would be "cherry picking" if he mentioned only negative things about the IRS and omitted exculpatory things. I don't think he did that. I don't know of any exculpatory things about the IRS scandal that are being left unsaid.<br /><br />OTOH Issa's comments are indeed not definitive, but that's not his fault. The reason is that a lot is not known. Why not?<br /><br />1. IRS employees are not cooperating with investigators.<br /><br />2. There's no indication that the Obama Administration is putting pressure on IRS personnel to cooperate.<br /><br />3. The investigation isn't independent. One arm of the Obama Administration is investigating another arm of the Obama Administration. That setup leads to a natural suspicion that the investigation may not be vigorous as it might.<br /><br />David in Calnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-67509810741010842222013-06-04T12:31:13.434-04:002013-06-04T12:31:13.434-04:00Issa is one of the most radical, extreme, partisan...Issa is one of the most radical, extreme, partisan, far right-wing people in a Party dominated by his ilk.
