Yes, I've heard about Representative Cummings and how his microphone was purposely turned off. I believe that Representative Issa had the right idea, despite what it looks like face-value. Cummings took a legal opportunity to infuse unnecessary, inappropriate, and entirely subjective liberal propaganda. It was, flatly, an abuse of legal power. It was wrong for Cummings to interrupt the procedure like so, and it was even worse to slander the Republican Party without grounds.
My question is whether or not it was right for Representative Issa to cut off the mic. Surely it could have been okay to let Cummings talk and not give heed or pay attention to his words. However, his words could stir up controversy and division within the interrogation when there need not be. I could call this a sort of vigilantism, where the colleague in charge takes action against the aggressive colleague dissident. However, I do not believe that Issa should in any way have his reputation marred by this action. If anything, it should highlight his decisiveness.
