Its about time! This IRS scandal reeks to high heaven and its great to see the presidents own hometown newspaper calling for a special prosecutor to investigate this. #irsscandal #worsethanwatergate #specialprosecutor More smoke at the IRS — and not only from the hard drives [The] president has since read news accounts establishing that IRS officials in Washington were communicating extensively about the agencys scrutiny of conservative groups. We also now know that several Democratic senators, including Dick Durbin of Illinois, had urged the IRS to look into some of these groups. And we know that, in 2012, top IRS officials repeatedly misled Congress by not disclosing — in response to highly specific questions — that the agency was giving extraordinary attention to conservative groups. On a matter this serious, the administration cant adequately investigate itself....Thats why weve urged Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint a special prosecutor — a phrase that, like customer support or designated hitter, provokes Pavlovian suspicions. Weve been skeptical of some special prosecutors and their tendency toward mission creep. But weve also seen situations where only a special prosecutor has the independence and credibility to resolve a case that drips with politics.
