Will be targeting waste, not prosecution of White House officials.
Will have subpoena powers.
In summary, a segment of the report next.
Issa said he plans to lead bipartisan investigations on food and drug safety, as well as Medicare fraud.
"We can save $125 billion in simply not giving out money to Medicare recipients that don't exist for procedures that didn't happen," Issa said on CBS's "Face the Nation." "These are real dollars. Ten percent of the deficit goes out in wasted money - money that doesn't get one person health care in Medicare."
On the CNN show, Issa said: "When I look at waste, fraud and abuse in the bureaucracy and in the government, this is like steroids to pump up the muscles of waste."
The news report also states that Democrats are criticizing his partisan approach to investigations. So Issa will probably meet all kinds of "foot dragging" and resistance in his new position. Being partisan is politics.
