The House investigative committee’s top-ranking Republican wants White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel to answer for allegations that he used “Chicago-style scare tactics” to intimidate lawmakers who say the economic stimulus has failed.
According to reports, Emanuel directed four Cabinet secretaries to send what Issa characterized as “threatening letters,” in which they asked whether Brewer preferred to “forfeit the money [they] are making available to Arizona,” in light of Kyl’s comments one day prior when he “publicly questioned whether the stimulus is working and stated that he wants to cancel projects that aren’t presently under way.”
Well, not that anything will come of it, but it's great to see that Chicago CAN be macro-ed out to the whole nation! As if we didn't have enough problems...
