Is A Special Prosecutor for the IRS Inevitable?
Rick Moran / American Thinker
Never say never when it comes to stonewalling from the Obama administration, but it appears that pressure is building on AG Eric Holder to name a special prosecutor to look into the growing number of charges being levelled by Republicans against the IRS.
Two top House Republicans on Friday called for Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the alleged targeting of conservative groups by the Internal Revenue Service.
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., cited a missing batch of IRS emails as part of the reason Holder should appoint an independent investigator to look into the IRS targeting.
They also pointed to new emails showing former IRS officials Lois Lerner sought an audit of Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, over an invitation to a seminar that was mistakenly sent her way.
“It is clear that appointing an outside Special Counsel to investigate this matter would be in the public interest,” Camp and Goodlatte said in the letter to Holder. “ The American people are very concerned that their government has targeted individual American citizens for harassment solely on the basis of their political beliefs. They deserve to know who ordered the targeting, when the targeting was ordered, and why.”
