The Justice Department put an avowed political supporter of President Obama in charge of the criminal probe into the IRSs targeting of tea party groups, according to top Republicans who said Wednesday that the move has ruined the entire investigation.
House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa and subcommittee Chairman Jim Jordan said theyve discovered the head of the probe is Barbara Kay Bosserman, a trial lawyer in the Justice Department who donated more than $6,000 to Mr. Obamas 2008 and 2012 campaigns, as well as several hundred dollars to the national Democratic Party.
The department has created a startling conflict of interest, House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa and subcommittee Chairman Jim Jordan said in a letter, reviewed by The Washington Times, which was sent Wednesday. It is unbelievable that the department would choose such an individual to examine the federal governments systematic targeting and harassment of organizations opposed to the presidents policies.
The IRSs internal auditor revealed last May that the agency had been inappropriately targeting and blocking applications for tax-exempt status from tea party and conservative-leaning groups, and in the immediate aftermath Mr. Obama promised the FBI and Justice Department would investigate whether the IRS broke any laws.
Eight months later, the investigation has not produced any public findings, and Mr. Issa says they have stonewalled his efforts to find out whats going on.
Ms. Bosserman didnt respond to an email seeking comment. The Justice Departments press office said it was looking into the letter.

I would say that the “FIX IS IN” but it always has been in under the Obama regime.
It is a real national tragedy when the American people can’t trust their government to investigate illegal activities by other govt entities.
But we must remember, ‘THAT’S THE CHICAGO WAY’.
Exactly...As a kid and a young man the FBI was looked up to, not so any longer and I won’t even comment on the ATF.
Amen to you both.
Now Norm, I am pretty sure that Issa will pen a letter and say that he is really, really mad this time.
I know Issa is upset. Because every time he fails to do anything, which strangely, is every time he needs to do something attached to his job description, the same handful of GOP sycophants who play conservatives on FR for fun (and likely profit), invade threads like this filled with excuses for the lack of results on A N Y T H I N G with his name attached to it.
If I were him, I’d be mad as hell his lackys were losing the battle to BS us. He ain’t getting his money’s worth.
Issa really just can't believe it?
He must be at least half retarded.
Does he get to work on a short bus?.
I guess this means he needs to waste time doing something else.
Maybe catching a rubber ball on a string in a cup.
Why even bother investigating? The results are predetermined.
Eight months later, the investigation has not produced any public findings, and Mr. Issa says they have stonewalled his efforts to find out whats going on.
Say what you will about the Whigs, you've got to admit they're highly skilled at crying in their beer.
And the hits just keep on coming...
