Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton illuminates the implications of these latest document releases. “These new emails show that the day before she broke the news of the IRS scandal, Lois Lerner was talking to a top Obama Justice Department official about whether the DOJ could prosecute the very same organizations that the IRS had already improperly targeted,” he said. “The IRS emails show Eric Holder’s Department of Justice is now implicated and conflicted in the IRS scandal. No wonder we had to sue in federal court to get these documents.” Now that it is clear the DOJ is part of the scandal, it becomes clear that they are incapable of handling the investigation of it. Thus, there is only one alternative: an independent prosecutor must be appointed. There is no question that Eric Holder’s March 10, 2014 letter to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), saying that “such an appointment is not warranted” because the case does not present a conflict of interest or other extraordinary circumstances, is an utter fraud. Three major government entities—the IRS, the DOJ and the FEC–now known to be involved in the effort to harass right wing groups represents a gargantuan conflict of interest and the epitome of extraordinary circumstances. The American people must rise up and demand such an appointment. The highest offices in the nation have been exposed colluding to persecute politically engaged citizens using any means at their disposal. The American people must do likewise to excise this rot from our most vital institutions.
