Issa Crook Still a Crook ...?

    I know this is old news (circa 1970s) but it's so delicious...one just has to marvel and say to oneself: what a bunch of freaken hypocrites! Have they no shame? Isn't Issa head of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee?

    Oversight? Reform?

    Is this a great country or what?

    The brothers had been together in Cleveland. Darrell gave a series of conflicting statements about his brother and whether he himself had recently obtained a second driver’s license, the investigator in the case became suspicious that the two men had conspired to fraudulently sell Darrell’s car and then collect the insurance money.

The brothers were indicted for grand theft. Darrell argued that he had no knowledge of William’s activities; William claimed that his brother had authorized him to sell the car, and he produced a document dated a few weeks before the robbery that gave him power of attorney over his brother’s affairs. On February 15th, with the investigation ongoing, Darrell returned to the San Jose dealership and repurchased his car, for seventeen thousand dollars. In August, 1980, the prosecution dropped the case. Darrell insisted that he was a victim, not a criminal. William had produced evidence that he had the legal authority to sell the car, and the injured party was reimbursed.

     Are you sure that was Darrell or was it his other brother Darrell?
