White House asks Darrell Issa to drop subpoena......Make Issa an offer he can't refuse?

White House asks Darrell Issa to drop subpoena.....Make Issa an offer he can't refuse? Politico.

The White House is asking Rep. Darrell Issa to withdraw a subpoena of a senior adviser to President Barack Obama and is offering instead to hold a private briefing on activities in the administration’s political affairs office.

In a letter sent Monday, White House Counsel W. Neil Eggleston offered to brief Issa, a California Republican who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, on the role of the the Office of Political Strategy and Outreach on Tuesday.

That’s one day before the office’s director, David Simas, is under subpoena to testify on potential violations of the Hatch Act.

Eggleston asked Issa to withdraw the request for Simas’ testimony. “While I am hopeful that we can work together constructively to address your stated interests, your subpoena is not helpful to these efforts. As you know, it has been the view of administrations from both political parties that summoning the President’s most senior advisors to provide public testimony raises significant separation of power concerns,” Eggleston wrote.

But Issa’s office said there is little chance that the subpoena will be withdrawn.Hmmm.....Chances are his hard disc crashed and no backup excists
