Unfortunately, based on their past conduct and recent comments by the commissioner, I am not convinced the IRS will provide the information needed to get to the bottom of this scandal.
More than a year ago, I called on the Attorney General to appoint a Special Counsel with full powers to conduct an investigation into the IRS. Had the administration headed my call, we could have gotten to the bottom of this scandal by now, punished those responsible, and begun the hard work of rebuilding the American people’s trust in their government. Instead, we have faced a year of stonewalling and obfuscation.
We cannot repeat that mistake, and we have no more time to waste. The IRS has proven it cannot police itself. The Attorney General must appoint a Special Counsel, and he must do so soon.
