"The Committee relies on whistleblowers to conduct unvarnished and thorough oversight," Issa explained.

Issa to ATF's Hoover: There will be no retaliation against whistleblowers
Resistance Radio for June 22
Join me this morning at 7:00 AM Pacific/10:00 AM Eastern and all points around and in between on “The War on Guns: Notes from the Resistance” NBC1260 Scottsdale, or from your computer at NBC1260.com, where you can also click on the WoG graphic to download previous shows (updated each day at 6:00 PM Pacific).
Also note: I’ve posted the Saturday “encore” schedule here.
