Eleanor Holmes Norton: You don't have a right to know everything gov't does
2014-07-27
[Breitbart] Friday at a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing, Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) told her Republican colleagues trying to get to the bottom of a potential violation of federal election law by the Obama administration that they "don't have a right to know everything in a separation-of-powers government, my friend."
If I had the energy I'd find the documentation of what she said about separation of powers when George W. Bush was president...
Norton claimed, "That is the difference between a parliamentary government and a separation-of-powers government."

Norton was addressing the Obama administration defying Chairman Darrell Issa's (R-CA) subpoena of David Simas, the director of the Office of Political Strategy and Outreach, to appear before Congress. Issa has accused Obama's former labor secretary, Hilda Solis, of breaking the law with a voicemail seeking political donations for the president's re-election.
Defying a subpoena is a criminal act which can land you in jail in the U.S. or the U.K. Of course breaking the law means nothing to the IQ-67 cadre.
