Wallace asked Issa point blank if he had any evidence that the Obama White House was involved in the Fast and Furious scandal.
Issa's response: "No". In case there's a part of "no" some readers don't understand, that means none. Zip. Zilch. Zero. Here's the exchange from the Fox News Sunday's transcripts:
WALLACE: Question: do you have any evidence that the White House officials knowingly were involved in these decisions, that they knowingly misled Congress and are involved in the cover-up?
ISSA: No, we don't. And what we are seeking are
documents we know to exist, February 4th to December, that are, in fact,
about Brian Terry's murder, who knew, and why people were lying about
it, and get to the truth. That's all we want.
Eric Holder ends up being the custodian of the documents. We would go
to the deputy attorney general just as easily if he would give us the
documents. That's all we are looking for is documents, which are
internal to the false statement and not part of the deliberative
process, you know --
WALLACE: I just want to be clear. We've got to get out. No evidence at this point that the White House is involved in the cover up?
ISSA: And I hope they don't get involved. I hope
this stays at Justice. And I hope that Justice cooperates, because
ultimately, Justice lied to the American people on February 4th and
didn't make it right for 10 months.
Issa says he is "seeking documents we know to exist" from Eric Holder. How can they "know" documents exist if they have never seen them? Doesn't this sound a lot like the search for the "real" birth certificate?
Issa's committee has spent $2.5 million on this witch hunt so far, and WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER.
As an American taxpayer, are you sick of your money being wasted on election year political witch hunts?

Congress has a legal right of oversight over the justice dept. No one has lost their job, repremanded and someone died because of these decisions.
It's easy - just hand over the records and be transpaent like Empty Suit promised.
Democrats a frauds.
Who cares if hundreds of brown skinned Mexicans and a Federal Agent got killed!!!
It was just some wetbacks and a Federal PIG!!!!!
Where does your Klan chapter meet?
Holder is hiding thousands of documents, which is why they can't prove anything.
It's called a cover-up, because they are covering up their criminal activities.
NAIL THOSE CROOKS TO THE WALL!!!

Okay Issa. Then why won't you allow Democrats' witnesses to testify ? WHY NOT? They include trooper testimony to answer the very questions you say don't exist. WHY DON'T YOU ALLOW TROOPER TESTIMONY ?? WHY ? WHY?
And the party (conga) line to claim this is all a witch hunt when the people of that same party had no problem going after Presidents, attorneys general, or representatives of the opposing party.
I think it is very important that the documents asked for (and the committee did not ask for all of them) between the lie and then the retraction of the lie be given. We, the nation, need to know 1. why the lie, 2. who is involved and 3 why they tried to cover it up. WE certainly owe the truth to the families
As to wasting money - this is not a waste of money, there was gun running and death - finding out the truth of this is the best use of our money. Now the year long investigation of Major League Baseball and subsequent trials - now there was a waste of money
This cluster f**k began in 2009, all guns were lost (74% remain unaccounted for), no guns were tagged or traced, no information or communication with Mexican government and two agents for US were killed with these gun
Nice try, but this is all on this administration
I do think the nation and the families deserve the truth - why the lying document in February last year and the retraction in December - we should demand the information and no one should be happy without it. Men are dead, families in Mexico by the 100's are dead - there is no excuse for this and anyone who thinks this behavior is acceptable need to examine their character

Issa statement stand, they have not evidence connecting the White House and they are not on a witch hunt to connect the White House. They want Holder and Obama claim executive privileges is why there would be a connection. Remember, Obama can only claim Executive Privileges if the information contains information connecting Obama having knowledge of Fast and the Furious.
By the way, you pointed out how this wold be a waist of taxpayers money. Yet when it is pointing at the 500 million dollars given to Solyndra , you liberals love to say that is only 1/100th of a percent of the national budget and had no effect of the debt. Yet 2+ million is a big deal, figure this out this would be 1/10000 of a percent of the US Debt.
Issa;s investigation doesn't even register on the cost scale.
This one is all obama-holder's baby.
Another "goody" Obama inherited from Bush, along with two wars and a crashing economy. George W. Bush: the gift that keeps on giving!
As for the two, separate programs:
Geez, Louise, right off the Breitbart.com conspiracy website. You're wasting conspiracy propaganda on someone who is not as gullible as you.
When you get some legitimate facts instead of conspiracy theories, we'll talk.
