Not wanting to help the Republicans out, but Darrell Issa is a big problem for them strategically. The problem Republicans have with Issa is that he has brought so many high profile investigations of this Administration on spurious issues that go nowhere. It's not like Clinton with Whitewater ... that invoked "Watergate" in the public mind ... that was a pointless investigation but yielded the aura of scandal because of its prolonged focus. The American people got used to Whitewater, and many sat on the edge of their seat waiting for the payoff ... which only resolved to the tangential sexing of an intern in the Oval Office.
With Darell Issa you have an impatient narcissist. He wants the payoff of the investigation right away so he captures the spotlight. Because of his need for immediate gratification he can't stick to one scandal, and doesn't bother building a case that is resilient. Issa has gone through so many "Presidency Ending Crisis's" at this point that amounted to nothing that he has assumed the role of the Boy Who Cried Wolf. At this point even if a meaningful issue worthy of investigation emerged no one would buy it for the sport Issa has turned oversight investigations into. The guy even has the cartoon avatar of a cop on his twitter account.
Darrell Issa is a caricature, a clown, a Performance Artist ... not a credible investigator. If I were the GOP House Leadership, I would replace him.
