A Question for any of our Freeper Experts:

I believe the appointment of a Special Prosecutor to investigate the IRS Scandal would require the approval of Eric Holder/Obama.

The typical response of Congress Critters and Commentators is that we need a Special Prosecutor to get to the bottom of this mess.

I believe that there is something less than “no chance at all” that Eric Holder will allow a Special Prosecutor to be named. It's not going to happen.

Assuming the above is true, MY QUESTION IS:

Is it possible legally for Congress (a House Committee, for example) to go straight to the courts to request the release of documents - the Lois Lerner Emails for example?

I think ACLJ is representing one of the harmed parties in a lawsuit. They will ask the judge to order the documents produced.

But I could be wrong.

Congress has the inherent power to arrest and imprison for Contempt of Congress. They don't need to crawl to Holder or the Federal courts.

The House of Reps could have the House Sergeant at Arms arrest Lerner and the IRS thugs that have 'lost' the emails RIGHT NOW and hold them indefinitely until they testify completely and truthfully to the oversight committee. If they lie they can be imprisoned. There used to be a jail right in the Capital Building for that purpose.

But don't hold your breath waiting for that to ever happen. The GOP Establishment and the Obama Regime both play for the same team.
