Countrywide VIP Loan Program bring focus to Representative Darrell Issa

Fox News Staffers penned an article titled Two more lawmakers tied to VIP loan program which they say was taken from The Wall Street Journal reporting that “two more congressmen have been identified as receiving loans through a Countrywide Financial Corp. program that has prompted a House investigation into whether the fallen mortgage giant approved loans on favorable terms to win political favor” but what this really brings to light is whether  Rep. Darrell Issa (R., Calif.), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform committee will investigate them as vigorously as he is known to have chased down this White House.  If he does then he would demonstrate that no one is above the law but if he tiptoe or treats this information with “kids’ gloves” then what has been expected by many will be proven.

As reported by the above mentioned article “Howard McKeon and Elton Gallegly-veteran Republicans from Southern California-acknowledged they are among the four whose names were recently sent to the House Ethics committee by, which is probing Countrywide's so-called VIP program. Neither has been accused of any wrongdoing.”  As expected both say that they were not aware of any of this and claim their innocence.  It is very believable that they certainly were not aware and that they truly did not do anything wrong but if that is the case then nothing should be swept under the rug and the light of disinfectant will prove their claim.  After all, aren’t we all innocent before being proven guilty?
