Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) on Thursday said on Thursday that the “biggest tool we have is to shame” the Obama administration, but insisted that was not what he was trying to do with his investigations into the alleged IRS targeting of tea party groups.
During an interview with Fox News, host Brian Kilmeade asked the chairman of the House Oversight Committee what he could do to force the administration to hand over former IRS official Lois Lerner’s emails after they said it would take “years” to produce all of them.
The California Republican said that he “ordered” that 12 years of his emails be put on a thumb drive in less than an hour. So, the IRS should be able to do the same for Lerner.
“You need some type of threat of retribution,” Kilmeade noted. “But it doesn’t seem as though you have it.”
“Our tools in Congress are limited,” Issa agreed. “Sometimes the biggest tool we have is to shame the administration.”

Repubbies just don't do honor, decency, patriotism or personal responsibility, do they.
“Our tools in Congress are limited.” ??? Seems to me the Congress is overrun with "Tools".
Issa just admitted that he wasted millions of dollars of taxpayer dollars to SHAME the President in sham hearings to benefit the TEA Party because... that's Congress' only weapon.... I mean tool.
Your tax dollars at work, ladies and gentlemen.
This turd should be thrown out of office. He has wasted millions of tax payer's money on his witch hunts that have resulted in nothing more than a waste of time for everyone who had the misfortune to be a focus of one of them.
