Eric Holder on IRS – “No Special Prosecutor Needed, FBI Doing a Great Job”

By Elizabeth Nelson

“Look away, there’s nothing to see here, not a smidgen of corruption” or illegal activity.  So, there’s “no need for a Special Prosecutor” why have a real investigation into the IRS “hoax?” That’s the word out of the White House today, as Eric Holder refuses to proceed on the IRS.


Holder announced the decision in a letter last week to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), saying that “such an appointment is not warranted” because the case does not present a conflict of interest.  Cruz had requested an independent investigation in January.

Eric Holder’s legal ethics and judgment is in serious question here, especially after he’s already been held “in contempt of Congress,” and as evidence in this case is stacking up against the IRS.

“I was cautioning folks about email and how we have had several occasions where Congress has asked for emails and there has been an electronic search for responsive emails -- so we need to be cautious about what we say in emails,” ~Lois Lerner


When the IRS looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck, liberals now want us to believe it’s a dog?  The evidence we have seen, let alone the stuff we haven’t, is damming and potentially pointing towards Holder’s boss and BFF, Obama, yet he is choosing – by an act of his will – to protect the POTUS.  That in itself displays a “conflict of interests.”

The attorney general said in his response to the senator that “career prosecutors and law-enforcement professionals” were conducting the Justice Department probe. “The Department remains committed to integrity and fairness in all of its law-enforcement efforts, without regard to politics,” Holder said.

Cruz criticized the decision on Thursday, saying in a statement that Holder “has chosen to reject the bipartisan tradition of the Department of Justice of putting rule of law above political allegiance.” He cited past examples in which attorneys general appointed special prosecutors to investigate Watergate under President Richard Nixon and the Monica Lewinsky scandal under President Bill Clinton.

In his January request, Cruz said an independent investigation was necessary because the Justice Department had not indicted anyone for the IRS behavior and because one of the prosecutors helping to lead the DOJ probe had donated heavily to President Obama and the Democratic party.

 

Many Republicans, including Cruz, have suggested that the IRS targeted mainly conservative groups for additional scrutiny as part of an effort to stifle Obama’s critics during the past two election cycles. Read more WashingtonPost

 

I don’t know who’s doing a better job at not wanting Americans to get to the bottom or the truth about the IRS, the DOJ, FBI, or the LameStream Media. The FBI couldn’t care less that the dog ate the IRS’ Emails and the Elephant destroyed their hard drive, and the LameStream Media would sooner report on old news like the story I blogged on last week on  Obama’s pandering to his base and baiting the GOP, "do something" instead of just taking potshots at him, and trying to sue and Impeach him.  Have you seen what they are reporting about today? This is “hot” news, “LeBron James’ return to Cleveland,” “Tennessee Fireflies”, the “Stink in Philadelphia forcing an evacuation”, “Is America in a ‘Retail Funk’” and the “largest Ebola evacuation in W. Africa.”  However, no mention of the IRS, but that “supposedly effected every American,” and not just Conservative Tea-baggers.
