Franken Calls Congressional Oversight of Obama Administration 'Witch Hunt'

Sen. Al Franken speaking at the left-wing Netroots Convention describes Rep. Darrell Issa’s constitutional obligation of oversight a “Witch hunt”.

He claims that Rep. Issa is “promising to double his staff” to accomplish this “witch hunt”. Apparently, the Senator is not aware that House rules dictate that minority parties in Congress control 1/3 of committee staff positions. If Republicans gain control of the House, their staff sizes will automatically double merely by becoming the majority party.
