It started when Republican Mike Turner got into a short, heated exchange with Koskinen, accusing the commissioner of lacking personal integrity because he won’t call the FBI to get involved in the investigation over the missing e-mails. But that was just the preface to the real fight, which kicked off when Democrat John Tierney tried to give Koskinen a break by taking a shot at the “disrespect” Republican members had been affording him. Issa briefly suspended the hearing to lecture Tierney, saying, “I would caution all members not to characterize the intent or the character of your fellow members here on the dais.” Tierney laughed and Koskinen jumped into say, “But it’s fair game to question the integrity of the witness?” And then Democrat Steve Horsford jumped in, questioning whether Issa violated the committee rules. Issa repeatedly cut him off to make him say it as a point of order. Elijah Cummings said, “Just let him ask the question.” Issa fired back, “I will not.” Finally, Tierney got to speak again and just left it up to anyone watching to decide just how credible the individuals conducting the hearing are. ISSA IS A TRAIN WRECK AND MUST BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE!
