"The aide, Brian Fallon, is a former senior aide to Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and a well-known personality on Capitol Hill. The letter describes Fallon as “audibly shaken” when he realizes his request to leak documents to help get ahead of news stories about them was mistakenly made to the very office he was seeking to undermine. Issa believes the call was intended to be made to Democratic Rep. Elijah Cumming's staff, the ranking member on the oversight panel, the letter said."
According to the letter, Fallon – who is not named in the letter but confirmed he made the call – asked if the aides could release the IRS scandal documents to “selected reporters” to give Fallon an “opportunity to comment publicly on it.” (read more)

I watched with the sound off because I only wanted to see what the honey in the white dress looked like.
It is quite a contrast between her [a calm attractive conservative babe] and the shrieking far left harpie who works for MSNBC.
Who are the "selected" reporters?
Elijah Cummings is a disgraceful servant of unaccountable nontransparent Big Government.
"selected reporters".... Good question.
Spoken by a guy who thought other people using drugs and porn were the most pressing infringements upon your liberty. Yep.
When the Republicans get control, we will find out again what it's like to expect better than lies, cover up, and incompetence. We may continue to get that, but at least we will admit it in public like grown ups who can deal with their mistakes.
Heritage Foundation are the Wahhabis of constitutional interpretation.
Cummings is so damned stupid, he has to be fed his lines.
Hell, why don't they just use a TelePrompTer like Jughead does?
Better still, why have these Potemkin hearings at all? Just go full Soviet and erase the bad stuff from the papers.
Wait, we do that now.
RICO anyone?
I saw Cummings give a graduation address at Goucher College about six years ago. He was very good - I have been disappointed at how partisan he has been with the IRS scandal.
Are there still people that believe this bullshit?
It was a while ago.
Some lecture series on audio CD.
From the public library.
Game Theory? A competition?
Anyway, some guy programmed it and it hasn't been beaten to this very day
Tit-for-tat.

BREITBART NEWS TARGET OF IRS AUDIT... DRUDGE
This is like calling the cops to report your pot being stolen.
Except the cops used to come and arrest the caller... but that's not even the case anymore.
"Are there still people that believe this bullshit?"
You have to have heard about the bullshit the first place to make a decision whether to believe or not believe it.
Holder is a lawless errand boy disgrace but Ed Meese is a buffoon. Sorry folks, I call them as I see them.
