Once again, Darrell Issa has compromised security with his bullshit antics, this time the security of the Obamacare website and all of the millions who have put sensitive information there: > [@](#): > > [HealthCare.gov](http://HealthCare.gov) could clearly be compromised if, say, sensitive documents were leaked to the public that included software code or other technical information that provided hackers with a road map for vulnerabilities in the site. Such documents currently reside with Issa, who obtained them last month – unredacted – after subpoenaing them from MITRE Corporation, the federal contractor overseeing security of the website. > > Throughout the subpoena process, MITRE officials warned Issa in [three](http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/MITRE115.pdf) [separate](http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/MITRE1122.pdf) [letters](http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/MITRE124.pdf) that the documents could result in “irreparable harm” to the website’s security if they end up in the wrong hands, even with redactions. They offered to let him come into MITRE’s offices and view redacted versions of them. Beyond that, White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler sent Issa [a letter](http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/ruemmler.pdf) warning that disclosures could increase risks to all IT systems across the federal government. Top House Democrats, meanwhile, pressed for a classified briefing with administration cyber security officials to assess the risks posed by a potential leak of those documents. > > But Issa insisted on getting the unredacted versions, and on Dec. 17, he posted excerpts from them online in [a letter](http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/sebelius1217.pdf) to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius in which he raised concerns with the website’s security. > > [Huffington Post](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/10/obamacare-website-darrell-issa_n_4569255.html?1389367586) Fuck this fucking fuck. He needs to be censured and to have any and all requests for any information including the menu for lunch in the Congress dinning hall denied because he’s a treasonous fuck stick who cannot be trusted with the information. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/darrell-issa-this-time-youve-gone-too-far/638388)._
