I wrote this last year:

I have been calling Darrel Issa a liar and a cheat and a felon for sometime now and the NYT is catching up with all of these allegations.
 

The proximity of the two offices reflects Mr. Issa’s dual careers, a meshing of public and private interests rarely seen in government.

Most wealthy members of Congress push their financial activities to the side, with many even placing them in blind trusts to avoid appearances of conflicts of interest. But Mr. Issa (pronounced EYE-suh), one of Washington’s richest lawmakers, may be alone in the hands-on role he has played in overseeing a remarkable array of outside business interests since his election in 2000.

Even as he has built a reputation as a forceful Congressional advocate for business, Mr. Issa has bought up office buildings, split a holding company into separate multimillion-dollar businesses, started an insurance company, traded hundreds of millions of dollars in securities, invested in overseas funds, retained an interest in his auto-alarm company and built up a family foundation.

As his private wealth and public power have grown, so too has the overlap between his private and business lives, with at least some of the congressman’s government actions helping to make a rich man even richer and raising the potential for conflicts. …

But perhaps his clearest statement on the issue came last year amid Toyota’s recalls of millions of automobiles with dangerous acceleration problems. Then, Mr. Issa brushed aside suggestions that his electronics company’s role as a major supplier of alarms to Toyota made him go easy on the automaker as he led an investigation into the recalls.

….

According to his filings, Mr. Issa’s minimum wealth doubled in the last year, and he appears flush with cash: he bought dozens of mutual funds in 2010 worth as much as $80 million, managed by Wall Street powerhouses, without selling off any securities.

….

In one 2008 sale, months before the stock market crashed, his family foundation earned $357,000 on an initial investment of less than $19,000 — a return of nearly 1,900 percent in just seven months, the foundation reported to the Internal Revenue Service. It reported acquiring the security, then known as AIM International Small Company Fund, at a cost basis representing a tiny fraction of the market value.

…

At a House hearing in 2008 on a much-debated proposal to merge the satellite radio companies Sirius and XM, despite objections on competitive grounds, Mr. Issa praised the “viable combined market” the deal would create as he questioned Sirius’s chief executive and talked of opportunities for expansion.

What Mr. Issa did not mention was that his electronics firm was then in a lucrative partnership with Sirius to distribute its audio products.

…

As with Merrill Lynch, Mr. Issa is keenly interested in Goldman’s performance.

A few weeks before opening his inquiry into the Goldman lawsuit, in fact, he bought another large batch of shares in one of the firm’s high-yield mutual funds, records show. By the end of the year, his stake in Goldman’s fund was worth as much as $25 million.

Take some time and really read this NYT article. Because history tells us that when the New York Times closes in on some politician; that politician finds himself in some trouble.

Now there is good news here even before any investigations begin.

Darrel Issa has promised that he would initiate 100,000 investigations into the most corrupt Administration in the history of man.

The Republican congressman who is taking over responsibility for congressional oversight called President Obama's administration "one of the most corrupt administrations" on Sunday and predicted that the investigations he is planning over the next two years could result in about $200 billion in savings for U.S. taxpayers. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x4680653

And at every single turn some 8 months into his powerful position;

nothing is revealed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5s6zr64LHg

I will say it again. Issa is one of the biggest crooks to ever sit in Congress.

WE SHOULD HAVE PRIMARIED OBAMA WHEN WE HAD A CHANCE !!!!!!

Many people warned the democrats, dump the worthless pandering Obama. he's not worth defending.

Obama will not only lose his own reelection,  but he's helped seal the fate of those in the House and Senate.

Look at how Obama, is pandering for the students votes;  fearing he may not have the excitement of the base, in order to be reelected.

Now he panders to the same kids, whose folks lost their asset class; the homes that were  leveraged to finance the kids college education.

Obama: "Kids don't look at what I did, just listen to my phony words." 

Obama is mentally corrupt; a college education is not anywheres the value of having a roof overhead. 

Obama allowed the real estate sector. an industry that provided 19% of the Nations GDP to sink.

Our homes were our bank; and Obama failed to protect us homeowners . 

Obama is still trying to help his banker friends, who fear student loan defaults, will disrupt Obama' banker friends prosperity.

Obama didn't give a crap about the homeowners and he really doesn't give a crap about the kids, who may have lived in those homes; he only wants to make sure his banker friends are not hurt, when the defaults hit the fan.

Obama pretending to care; may even bring him votes, from those with student loans. 

When in reality, it's the bankers he's more interested in protecting.
