Former IRS official Lois Lerner will be held in contempt of Congress "in the very near future," Rep. Trey Gowdy told Fox News on Wednesday.
The South Carolina Republican sits on the House Oversight and Reform Committee, and told "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren" that he wants to see an end to the delay in providing subpoenaed emails from Lerner over the targeting of conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.
IRS Chief John Koskinen was grilled Wednesday by the committee over his agency's failure to produce the emails. Koskinen said it could take years to comply with the committee's request.
"All we want are the emails to or from Lois Lerner. I'm not talking about private taxpayer information," Gowdy told Van Susteren.
"Just emails like the one she sent celebrating a Democrat victory in a special election, calling on the FEC to save the day – overtly political, nothing to do with her job. We'll just settle for those," Gowdy added.

S.C. PING!
That was great, Gowdy knows how to cut to the quick!
Lets...Get...On...With...It...Like tomorrow.
Come to think of it he does seem very well suited for the role of Attorney General.
it was just suggested that Gowdy would make a great e AG.
I think Im gonna second that motion
“SOON” is a four letter word. Just DO IT!! Do you expect her to RSVP? You’re NOT going to scare her into singing like a canary. She has seen Hillary get away with the “What difference does it make” disrespect with no consequence whatsoever. Lerner does not think you guys have the nerve or the resolve to bring that judicial hammer down, and frankly, I’m not holding my breath either.
If Gowdy was running the show it would probably have already been done.
Well said!
Hearing it from Gowdy makes me think it indeed will happen.
He’s one of the few I can say that about, that’s for sure.
HA!THANKS! B^)
not holding my breath.
I really really like this guy - and would support him for any office.
Tonight the FBI should be ordered by Congress to arrest this bietch immediately. After arrest waterboard the bietch and she will squeal like a pig. Contempt is too civil. Treat her like she treated the taxpayers with contempt.
Just threaten to dump her off on a street in Louisville. ;-)
Hope he can be trusted. But is he serious about this or just acting the part of the “GOP hard ass” to keep the base in line?
I think she should be held in contempt. My question is, however, didn't Holder get a contempt citation too? Did it hurt him at all? I don't think Lerner is exactly shaking in her boots. I just think it will be business as usual, unfortunately.
Wow what is Keith Richards doing there?
Unfortunately it won’t happen with the holder as AG and the DOJ under soetoro. Impeachment is the only option.
