The staff report, to be released Tuesday, charges that Lew and other Obama administration officials deliberately misled Congress and the public during the federal budget and debt limit showdowns in both years. The committee will convene a public hearing on the report Feb. 2.

This dirtbag POSPOTUS has misled everyone!
Between the shady documentation about his birthplace, lack of documentation about his college attendance, and his shady deals with our country's enemies - he hasn't uttered a straight word yet!
Government shutdowns are a political ruse. Nobody takes them seriously.
It's no secret.
Doesn't matter voters don't care.
