Dems Demand Rep. Issa Withdraw Obamacare-Related Subpoena
Against an official currently working on fixing the site
The ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee on Monday demanded that Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) withdraw a "misguided" subpoena of an official who is working to fix the federal ObamaCare site.
In a blistering letter, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) accused Issa of hurling "unfounded accusations" against Todd Park, the administration's chief technology officer (CTO).
"The evidence before our Committee demonstrates that Mr. Park is an honest and exemplary public servant, and your unsubstantiated public attacks against his integrity are a deficient basis on which to justify a subpoena against him," Cummings wrote with Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.).

It is very important that this subpoena be terminated because no one must know how bad it is, how many obvious warnings were ignored, or how high the failures go.
