To "bring it home," so to speak, he should request all NSA data on phone calls to and from Congressmen. Nothing makes politicians more angry than applying their rules for everyone else to themselves.
- abtinf 13y agoI think you meant it as snark, but I think is brilliant. We know that congress has ongoing insider trading issues with the companies they regulate - lets get some transparency! If they have nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear.
- jholman 13y agoYeah, but that necessarily pits him against other Congressfolks. Stockman VERSUS EVERYBODY!!!! The move as-he-played-it is smarter, right? He's inviting other Congressfolks to join him in making political hay by trolling the executive branch. He's saying to Issa "someone should be embarrassed about this.... would you like to be embarrasser or embarrassee?" Does anyone know if the opening paragraph thanking Issa is sincere or snark? I don't know what Issa's record/politics have been.
- muyuu 13y agoUsing their rhetoric, if they have nothing to hide they don't have to be worried.
