Former House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) tried to crash former Hillary Clinton adviser Sidney Blumenthal’s deposition before the House Select Committee on Benghazi on Tuesday.
Issa marched into the closed-door deposition and remained inside for about a minute before he was escorted out by the panel’s chairman, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.).
The pair briefly exchanged hushed words in a nearby hallway before Issa stormed off, throwing an empty soda can into a nearby trash bin.
NBC News producer Frank Thorp posted a video showing Gowdy and Issa.
Looks like karma to me.
After months, and months of beating the underbrush trying to find something that he could pin to President Obama or Secretary of State Clinton concerning Benghazi, and failing, Issa is now kicked out of a hearing conducted by his successor.
Of course now Gowdy is trying to make like it was no big deal, but I think we all know that these guys don't want Issa anywhere near their witch hunt for fear people will not take it seriously.
Which of course they shouldn't.
