Issa: No way we’re going to let Obama administration investigate the IRS by itself

The wolves are going to get to the bottom of an attack on the hen house?

[luvbach1]

Yeah, 0bumble should let Eric Holder spearhead the investigation.

[nomad]

Congressional subpoenas all around, Benghazi-Gate, IRS-Gate, Project Gunrunner-Gate- the list goes on and on and on...

[clamper1797]

Al Capone is going to investigate the mob

[LyinLibs]

The OSTAPO (via IRS) also targeted Jewish groups.

Great idea :
Obama can have Holder investigate this so whenever asked questions they can ALL say that they cant talk about it till the investigations over, then Holder can destroy all documents/evidence, payoff or threaten all witnesses and in mid 2016 announce that he could find NO wrongdoing.

we desperately need to give all the nice irs agents jobs doing something better than trying to administer or enforce the most concentrated pile of corruption in human history (the federal tax code)

[BookaT]

Let Holder investigate, put his name on it.

Then do a real investigation or better yet a concurrent one.

Get holder under oath, ask him point blank questions.

Compare facts and prosecute.

How many times has Obama said , ACCOUNTABILITY ?

” Get holder under oath, ask him point blank questions.”

Holder: “ I don’t recall”

[Colonel_Flagg]

"He said screening of advocacy groups is “factually complex, and it’s challenging to separate out political issues from those involving education or social welfare.”

Has anyone released a list of the left-wing groups who found their applications to be 'factually complex' during the same time frame? I'm betting it's pretty damn short.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Holder won’t ever answer questions.

[skeeter]

Maybe this time the GOP will show some energy & seize and maintain the initiative, rather than adapt the usual apologetic tone allowing the administration and the democrats to win the PR battle - again.

I agree with ISSA. Remember, this is the same Administration that has TEA Party group on a DHS Terror Watch List. Are we supposed to believe that a Administration that believes the TEA party to be potential terrorist is not also directing the IRS to review the tax status? Given the depth of the questionnaires sent to the TEA party the answers would be very useful to DHS.

Issa, speed is required before spin and destruction of documents. Also the communists Holder will find a few low level employees to throw under the bus. SPEED! DAMN IT, SPEED!!!!!

[drypowder]

hey Issa, how did that Fast and Furious inquiry go for you? how are any other inquiries into this crime family in the WH by you or any other politician going to be any different than the F&F inquiry?
