TPM, this is rich:
Democrats are accusing House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) of canceling a hearing on the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission this week because his committee uncovered documents which wouldn't have fit his narrative about what went wrong with the agency.
Peter Kadzick, an attorney for FCIC Chairman Phil Angelides, told TPM that Angelides arrived in D.C. on Sunday night for the Wednesday morning hearing but was told by an Issa staffer on Monday evening that "they had found some documents at the last minute that didn't fit the narrative."
Uh huh. So Issa and his fellow Republicans were hot to hold investigations into the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission back when they thought their investigation would show that—what? Obama the secret Muslim Kenyan socialist communist single-handedly caused the financial meltdown? But now that it looks like the investigation, according to Democrats, raises "a host of new ethical questions about Republican commissioners and staff, including evidence that they leaked confidential information to outside parties on multiple occasions"? Nope, nothing to see here, move it along.
