Issa slams White House over aide's defiance of subpoena | Fox News
"Most transparent Administration of all time." What are they hiding? If there's nothing at all to hide, why not testify?
From the article:
White House's claim violates a 2008 federal court ruling that says presidential advisers are "not absolutely immune from congressional process."
"Flouting a federal judge's opinion about our system of checks and balances is yet another attack on our Nation's Constitution by this President," Issa said in a statement. "We already know that two members of President Obama's Cabinet violated the Hatch Act, which prohibits the use of taxpayer funds for political campaigning. Given these examples of known wrongdoing, assertions that this Administration's taxpayer-funded political efforts should be above Congressional oversight are absurd."
The lawless Executive Branch truly believe themselves above the US Constitution. Enough is enough..
