I know you’ll be shocked to hear that Attorney General Eric Holder has rejected Senator Ted Cruz’s call for an independent prosecutor to probe the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups. I wrote about the senator’s demand when he made it two months ago (see here; see also the WSJ op-ed by Congressman Jim Jordan (R., OH), on the same topic, focusing on Lois Lerner’s invocation of the Fifth Amendment).
Senator Cruz has released a statement in response:
It is the height of hypocrisy for the Obama Administration to claim that the investigator leading the investigation into the IRS’s illegal program has no conflict of interest. The investigator is a partisan Democrat who has donated over six thousand dollars to President Obama and Democrat causes. Just as nobody would trust John Mitchell to investigate Richard Nixon, nobody should trust a partisan Obama donor to investigate the IRS’s political targeting of President Obama’s enemies. Sadly, “in the discretion of the Attorney General,” Eric Holder has chosen to reject the bipartisan tradition of the Department of Justice of putting rule of law above political allegiance.
“Both Nixon Administration Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Clinton Administration Attorney General Janet Reno appointed special prosecutors whose integrity was beyond reproach; Eric Holder should do likewise. To date, nine months after a damning Inspector General report, nobody has been indicted, many of the victims have not even been interviewed, and Lois Lerner has twice pleaded the Fifth. And yet the Attorney General refuses to allow a genuine–and impartial–investigation.
The integrity of the Department of Justice deserves better. The American people deserve better.

The Fox is completely qualified to inspect the hen house.
RICO act was meant for just such criminal enterprises.
I know people disagree with me but Obama wants Holder on the Supreme Court.
He will do anything, say anything to make that happen.
I see Holder’s point and makes good sense...this way he won’t have to waste time and money bribing and threatening a real prosecutor...saving tax dollars donchano!
they need to impeach and remove holder now to prevent that and bring some justice to the justice dept

He doesn’t need to do or say much. He has hardly any opposition. Alinsky shaming keeps almost all republicans on the plantation.
Old Osama bin Laden had limits on what he could do to harm the USA...
As long as the Democrats have a majority in the Senate, nothing will be done. Actually they do not even need a majority as they can count on a lot of Republicans while Conservatives cannot count on a single Democrat.
This should scare even leftie-left Dems/socialists/Marxists and (alleged) "news"people.
.
Holder, the corrupt, thinks so.
Holder was selected by the regime to do exactly what he’s doing. To block any and all investigations into Obama and the democrats criminality.
Things will have to change so this crap can never happen again.
And Holder will get away with it too.
I don't doubt anything anymore. The fact is that both Obama and Holder are racist ideologues who are so convinced that they are ‘doing right’ that they can rationalize ANYTHING. Such is the stuff that totalitarian governments have always been based on.
Time will tell, but it is possible that we are now living in a period reminiscent of Germany in 1935. We are sometimes incapable of believing what is just around the corner.
This is what the impeachment power of the senate is for.
