Darrell Issa, what happened to you?

  Darrell Issa was full of plans to investigate suspicious activities in this administration before the election. In the runup to the election, day after day we heard some new tale of an item that needed to be investigated, most of which sounded legitimate and not simply a trumped up political reason to go after the opposition.

  The mysterious Ulsterman (do we believe he really exists?), who hinted at a major scandal, suggested quite some time ago that Issa had been muzzled by the administration. After conferencing on many occasions with the administration, Issa's backed off on just about everything, disappearing into the woodwork. Ulsterman (do we believe he exists?) thinks Issa is being "managed" by the White House.

  Now, oddly, Politico has an article about Issa's querying about White House intervention into the net neutrality issue. Why now, one might wonder, would these documents be revealed, when Issa seems to have been neutered?

  Just askin.'

  Politico:

CC Chairman Julius Genachowski is denying a charge that White House officials improperly influenced the commission’s net neutrality rules. 
In a November 2009 letter to Genachowski, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said media reports suggest “that Obama administration officials had knowledge of and potentially contributed to [the] crafting of” the controversial net neutrality rules.
