Rep Issa: Administration lying about HealthCare.gov

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) accused the Obama Administration of lying about the security of the HealthCare.gov website at a hearing.

Chairman Issa said the administration’s claims that the website was adequately tested before its launch, that it's tested on an ongoing basis, and that nobody in the administration pushed for a delay of the rollout over security issues conflicts with the Administration’s insistence Chairman Issa not release documents from a contractor, because they could be used as a roadmap for hackers. “It is this committee’s intent to err on the side of the assumption that the Administration continues to lie about the site being safe and secure,” Chairman Issa said. “We can find no other basis but to assume that they were lying about the vulnerabilities on the day they went live on Oct 1, and that they are still lying. I don’t use the word 'lie' without real forethought.”
