The Next Witch Hunt

Posted on January 28, 2014 at 3:30 pm

While the Department of Justice seeks to crack down on financial predators and fraudsters, House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) seeks to crack down on the Department of Justice.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Job Creation and Regulatory Affairs Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder on January 8, accusing the Justice Department of “using its civil investigative power” to “inappropriately target two lawful financial services: third-party payment processing and online lending.”


The Department of Justice is trying to determine if big banks helped payday loan sharks extract billions of dollars from their customers’ checking accounts.

Fortunately for America the Department of Justice doesn’t need Inquisitor Issa’s permission to perform its job.

Darrell Issa has come up empty on every investigative witch hunt he has conducted during his time as chairman. This time will be no different because on top of his utter incompetence, the Obama administration is also genuinely clean.


It has to be. The president and Attorney General Eric Holder know just as well as you that standards are higher for his administration than previous administrations for unfortunate reasons.
