documents related to the security of healthcare.gov. darrell issa does not deserve to be trusted with sensitive information. it s not just health care, folks. during his benghazi hearings, issa released documents without redacting the names of libyans who were working with the united states during the fast & furious investigation. issa put details of secret wiretaps into the congressional record. and during his tsa overnight hearing, issa defended the leak of documents that included security information. just a good guy all around, isn t he? issa is as leaky as an old watering can. the congressman who has got the checkered past is proving old dogs just don t learn new tricks. this guy is after obamacare at all costs. and if he is leaking secret information that is sensitive to our i.t. work in the government, what do you say we have an impeachment vote? he s trying to do that with president obama, as well.
he s trying to push. how does he get away with this boehner has got to step up. some of that spy spine he grew last week, he s got to use this week and say enough is enough. boehner is a guy who historically is a regular order guy. he is supposed to be somebody and at times in his career shown that he cares about the house and how it s supposed to operate. and this is a really interesting test. because i have a feeling, in his heart of hearts, he s got to know some of this is over the top. it s interesting that nancy pelosi is not asking for hearings. she wants a high-level security briefing on the operations of issa. right. let s not put the cart before the horse here, which i think is brilliant on her part. give us the information. be forthcoming. what have you released? and then i think it would be up to the justice department to make a determination, wouldn t it? yes. and i think what it also means is that they can see all of what s in there. the whole picture. so
if you sign up, all your information is out there. he s going after the navigators. who are the navigators? they re people who are helping other people get health insurance. oh, they re community organizers, according to issa. exactly. and so there s that. and then there is this history of leaking all kinds of stuff that shouldn t get out there. and look, congressional hearings are there to expose wrongdoing. if we have cheered them on when they did this in other circumstances. but this isn t about exposing wrong. this is about trying to undercut obamacare. it s boehner s call right now. what are the expectations? well, i think boehner should step in. i don t think he will. i mean, because remember, here s the pattern we have seen with issa is not just leaking sensitive information. but selectively leaking information that tells only one part of the story. and, you know, it s been congressm congressman cummings time and again saying he did in the irs stuff, even in bengha
it should have been out there or should not have been out there. the cyber security rules. i mean, we re into this new information age. i mean, oh, it s okay if we release that. you know, liz winsted, comic said the other day, everybody is having a hard time picking their health care plan, why not just turn it over to the nsa. i thought that was pretty good. they can fill out the documents. they can fill out the whole thing right there. the thing is, again, i think it s important to be consistent here. there are times when we have cheered when people put out information that the government was illegitimately withholding from us. i think what s particularly disturbing in this case, and why pelosi acted, is because if some of this gets out there, it endangers the very thing issa is supposed to be trying to protect. it endangers national security. it could endanger the security of the website. so what you want to do is, you do not want that stuff leaked in a way that could hurt pe
firearms for drug cartels and failing to interdict them. in some cases even allowing them to walk into mexico. joining me now to try to explain this is brad blakeman the former deputy assistant to president george w. bush and a senior adviser to four presidential campaigns and dick ha harpootlian, chairman of the democratic party. what did issa put in the congressional record. just so our viewers know the doj says it was an atf operation. the question is did the atf allow guns to walk, how high up in the doj did it go if at all. you can t get wiretaps without their approval. he says he s got the goods from some doj mole that disproffers a claim. i call him a when iser blower. this guy is a hero within the department who says that there inconsistencies in what the
