Darrell Issa Watch

I won't go in completely for conspiracy theories, but there seems to be a lot of news concerning the California congressman.  First, the New York Times has two stories about Issa, one involving his numerous business interests potentially overlapping with his government work, and another about potential mistreatment of minority shareholders in a purchase of one of his businesses by a private equity firm.

Now comes another story (via nc links) about a former Golman Sachs VP who changed his name, and is now a staffer working for Issa on the House Oversight Committee, which oversees government regulators who are charged with financial regulation.

This comes after old reports of insurance fraud, when a building housing a floundering business of his mysteriously burned down.  Maybe liberals are out to get an upstanding man, or maybe he is a major league crook.  I'll withhold my judgement for now, but I will need some real evidence to believe the "media is out to get me" line.
