The GOP political establishment appears to be onboard with using the IRS to suppress Tea Party organizations. Which probably explains why a special prosecutor hasn’t been appointed by the GOP majority in the House of Representatives.

You’re correct, but the Congress can’t appoint a special prosecutor. The House or Senate, or both together can form investigating committees, and ask the justice department to appoint a special prosecutor or counsel but that’s it. That’s an executive function, not a legislative one.
They are. Totally.
