The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee last week was wanting to investigate whether or not Obama violated the Hatch Act when the White House reopened a political office to get Democrat votes. The White House Office of Political Affairs was previously closed in 2011 immediately before a ruling that the office violated the Hatch Act. The new office, the White House Office of Political Strategy and Outreach appears to be the exact same office with a slightly different name, (shades of the ACORN organization).
Darrell Issa subpoenaed David Simas, director of the new office, to testify last week on the subject, but Simas refused to appear and the White House said that nobody in the White House ever has to testify about anything; they're immune. This response flies in the face of a previous Federal Court ruling which says that is not true.
Don't expect this new and additional refusal to be "transparent" on the part of the White House to go anywhere; the House has proven itself to be impotent on numerous occasions in the past.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
