Darrell Issa does a 180 on releasing the transcripts in the IRS investigation.

Wanna know why? It appears Issa and Elijah Cummings disagree with releasing more documents?
It's getting interesting. Issa is trying to keep this info hid from Republican voters.

WASHINGTON -- One week after he released partial transcripts of interviews with IRS officials involved in the scandal surrounding the targeting of conservative groups, the chair of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee said releasing the full transcripts would be "reckless" and "irresponsible."

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) pushed back Tuesday against calls to put out more information on the committee's investigation into the controversy, sparked after a Treasury Department Inspector General report revealed the IRS had singled out tea party groups applying for nonprofit status for extra scrutiny. Responding specifically to criticism from Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the ranking Democratic member of the committee, Issa said that releasing full interviews conducted with IRS employees would hurt the ongoing investigation.

"Although the Committee interviewed a self-identified ‘conservative Republican’ who denied any White House involvement or any political motivation for screening Tea Party cases, Chairman Issa now appears to be going back on his promise to release the full interview transcripts of IRS employees," said Cummings, in a statement. "Chairman Issa changes his mind so fast that even when I agree with him, we’re not on the same page. I fully support responsible oversight, but cherry picking transcript excerpts to fuel partisan and unsubstantiated claims is not a credible or effective way to investigate."

On Tuesday, an aide to Cummings said the congressman would release the full transcripts of the already completed interviews by the end of the week, if Issa did not do so himself -- though the aide also cautioned that those plans could change.

1. Ha ha ha! So much for full transparency....

Some of those interviews might not be following the story put out by the GOP.

Cummings is, and always has been, a class act. I'm sure he must feel the bile rise having to deal with that dunce every day.

2. Rep. Elijah Cummings is amazing.

The fact the right honorable Rep. Commings can control his fists around that duplicitous cretin is astounding.

Mahatma Gandhi would have kicked that nincompoop in the balls by now.
Mother Teresa would hunted for a hit man on the web.
Mister Rogers would have formed in lynch mob in the neighborhood.
Lassie would guide him into empty hidden wells.

3. Issa is the Republican's hatchet man...

He is like the basketball player that is only put into the game to foul the other team. Issa is devious.
