Sorry but I missed a lot of news today. Can anyone tell me if

Rep Cummings released the complete IRS transcripts that Issa wouldn't?

1. I think they said on the news tonight that Cummings was going to give Issa until Monday...

... something like that.

3. Thank you Tx4obama.

I'm engaged in a lengthy argument with a Libertarian as to why this is a non-issue and I have been waiting with baited breath for the whole story on this. He, of course, thinks this story signals the end of our freedoms and has gone all Conspiracy Theory on me. When the dust settles and I do present him with the back story on this, I doubt even then that he will change his mind because, well - you know. But I promise I won't make him eat too much crow.

2. Here's a link

That may be so, but there’s another suspicion afoot, which is that the full transcripts indicate that there’s no political scandal here. And in the most recent chess move, Cummings, as reported by my colleague Ben Jacobs, wrote another letter to Issa demanding that Issa tell him what portions of the conservative Republican’s testimony were too sensitive to be disclosed, and to tell him by next Monday. The clear implication was that Cummings would release the man’s testimony. That could be a pretty big deal, because, according to Cummings, the man said that he and he alone first “centralized” the Tea Party cases, without any direction from any superiors and without any political motivation.

4. Yes, I was aware of this part of the story but I just can't wait to read the transcripts.

I did miss the part about giving him until Monday - I thought maybe they would be out today. And yes, excellent chess move by Cummings. Isn't it fun to play with Issa?
