Issa's arrest record

Some of the most persistent questions about that biography involve Issa's arrest record as a young man. He has been charged twice with car theft, although both cases were later dismissed. He was charged twice with carrying a concealed weapon.

On Jan. 16, 1973, Issa pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of possession of an unregistered gun. A magistrate fined him $100, put him on probation and ordered him to pay $107 in court costs. At the time, Issa was a student at Siena Heights University in Adrian, Mich. The arrest was first reported by the Adrian Daily Telegram on July 16.

Asked earlier this month about that arrest, Issa told a Times reporter that the gun was an "unloaded, never-fired, in-the-box, little teeny pistol" and said it wasn't his, although he declined to say whose it was.

Public records obtained by The Times show that when arrested, Issa was carrying a .25-caliber semiautomatic pistol with seven bullets in its ammunition clip, as well as 44 bullets and a tear-gas gun. He was arrested after being stopped for driving in the wrong direction on a one-way street.

4. Dont think they want him for Gov. Just his $ for the recall

and a shot at running another candidate.

He ran for governor (with NO experience) in the GOP primaries back in 1998. Lost to rather unpopular and reactionary state Atty General Dan Lungren (sp).

3. The military record fabrications

All the minutiae, as he calls it, is not from Clinton, but all part of the public record. It amazes me that these bozos pump up a non-existent military record and think they won't get caught. But ooooh is he squirming now or what?

And it seems to happen quite often. I think Fox had a phony retired officer doing war play by play a couple of months ago.
