I'm in Issa's 49th District and I have a question

[SHRED]

I'm wondering why Issa called for an independent special prosecutor regarding Russia/Trump?

Maybe he knows something is coming and trying to save his political skin?
Doug Applegate has a good shot of beating him in 2018.

Why did this otherwise extreme RWnut go there?

1. More likely he is concerned because of his Lebanese background that trump may deport him

2. Hillary won his district by 7.5 points

Issa only won by 1 point. The party losing the presidency usually improves in the next congressional race. So to survive Issa MUST move left, or at least move away from Trump.

6. This. The district is purple and needs active workers on the streets organizing for the next electio

3. He's terrified that being tied too tightly to Dolt45 will get him defeated

and kicked out of a job where he gets rich really quick, doesn't have to work too much, and gets to push people around. He's really afraid of having to go out and get a real job, even as a "name" and window dressing.

4. Scared

Bigly ! Go Applebaum !

5. He knows it's a No-op

Nunes won't do anything, so it's a safe position to call for an independent prosecutor because it won't happen.

Makes him look less partisan.

He's still an asshole.
