Darth Issa: Lord Vader, the Benghazi issue is still under control. I have grasp of it.
Darth Vader: I find your lack of consistency disturbing but you have done the Emperor proud with the Benghazi situation.
It appears Darrell Issa can't get enough of that Benghazi incident.

The House Republican chairman investigating last year’s terror attack on a U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, has subpoenaed four State Department officials, saying the department was stalling on efforts to interview them.
In a statement Monday, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa of California said the four led offices where the State Department’s report into the attack, called an Accountability Review Board, had found that deficiencies contributed to a lack of security.
Furthermore...
In a letter about the subpoenas to Secretary of State John F. Kerry released Monday, Mr. Issa detailed his efforts since April 29 to arrange interviews with the four officials and others, stating his investigators “have only been able to interview one of the 13 individuals with whom they requested interviews and the meeting was arranged without the State Department’s help.”
“These persistent delays create the appearance that the Department is dragging its feet to slow down the Committee’s investigation,” Mr. Issa wrote. “It does not require weeks of preparation to answer questions truthfully.”
He called the delay “irresponsible.”
Mr. Issa stated that the committee wants to hold a public hearing to examine the findings of the Accountability Review Board “as soon as possible.”
Persistent delays eh Congressman Issa?
Wait, he has another bit of information to share:
“By its very nature,” Mr. Issa wrote, “a subpoena can carry the implication that the witness is being uncooperative. In this case, that is an unfortunate and misleading consequence since it is the department, and not the individuals themselves, that appears to be dictating the timetable.”
Nope. Guess he doesn't have any new information to share.
