.Obama snubs Issa on subpoena for ATF documents
For the first time since Republicans took control of the House and gained the power of congressional subpoena, the Obama administration has declined to comply with a subpoena issued by top GOP oversight official Rep. Darrell Issa.

In the face of a subpoena by Issa, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) provided no documents by the April 13 deadline, according to an April 20 letter from Issa to ATF’s director, Kenneth Melson.

Issa is threatening contempt proceedings if ATF does not comply.

4. Transparency is what we need
The most transparent administration in the history of civilization . Which is ironic ,as the more they stonewall and try to hide , the more transparent they become .

They can say whatever they want, blame whomever they can , and stall longer than I may yet live . But we saw what you did there .
