One More Scandal: WH Political Chief Subpoened For His Department Campaigning On Taxpayer Dime Of course they are, that was the explicit purpose of this office that was created in January. Weasel Zippers Nickarama July 11, 2014 Excerpt: Via Daily Mail: House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chair Rep. Darrell Issa sent his latest subpoena to the Obama administration on Friday, demanding testimony from the director of a controversial White House office reportedly tasked with political work on taxpayers’ dime. David Simas, the director of the White House Office of Political Strategy and Outreach, has refused to testify voluntarily but will be required to answer questions in a July 16 hearing on Capitol Hill. President Barack Obama closed the White House Office of Political Affairs in 2011, just days before an Office of Special Counsel report warned that it risked ‘transforming from an official government office into a partisan political operation.’ But the president reopened the office six months ago under a new name as Democrats began to gear up for a contentious midterm election fight. <SNIP> LINK
