DOJ is firing back at Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) after he issued subpoenas to the Justice Department as part of the House Oversight Committee’s ongoing investigation into Fast and Furious.

“We’ve made clear from the beginning that the Department intends to work with the Committee to answer legitimate questions,” DOJ spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler told TPM in an email. “However, this subpoena shows that Chairman Issa is more interested in generating headlines than in real oversight important to the American people.”
