Then again – what about this entire administration isn’t “rogue”?
The Hill reports:
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) on Friday described the National Labor Relations Board as a “rogue agency” for its response to subpoenas he issued for documents related to the panel’s legal complaint against airplane manufacturer Boeing.
The NLRB has yet to provide any documents to Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The board’s general counsel said Friday in a letter to Issa that the NLRB was concerned about releasing any documents prematurely.
That provoked a harsh response from Issa, who said the NLRB’s hesitation put into question “the integrity of NLRB and its leadership.”
“The National Labor Relations Board and Acting General Counsel Lafe Solomon have thus far failed to comply with a lawful subpoena,” Issa said in a statement released Friday. “This refusal by NLRB to abide by the law further heightens concerns that this is a rogue agency acting improperly.”

The NLRB is the most logical agency for this administration to use in the destruction of the inner workings of the economy. Other agencies (DHS, EPA, for instance) may help bring down the economy and restrict our freedoms, but the NLRB is the one that can actually write rules that can destroy ANY semblance of the “free market” we still have.
Just one more agency that should be defunded and done away with.
