Lawmakers stunned by new revelations of IRS corruption

Sen. Cruz demands, 'We need an independent special prosecutor!'

WASHINGTON
— Tea-party leaders and lawmakers are flabbergasted over the latest bombshell revelation in the IRS scandal – that ex-IRS official Lois Lerner was discussing with the Department of Justice a strategy to criminally prosecute conservative groups.

“The DOJ’s credibility to investigate the IRS scandal is gone,” declared Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. “We need an independent special prosecutor!”

Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., told WND, “With each new revelation about the extent the IRS went, and wanted to go, to target conservative and tea-party groups, the level of corruption keeps getting worse.”

As WND reported Wednesday, emails obtained by Judicial Watch show that Lerner, the former head of the IRS’ tax-exempt division, was exploring a plan with Eric Holder’s Justice Department to conduct a criminal investigation into tea-party groups over their political activity.

Why does it seem that, by their silence, Democrat lawmakers aren't stunned?

Just think --- this agency, with their impeccable integrity, will be in charge of making sure everyone pays for their health care, too.
You should absolutely and without question, place your full faith and trust in them to do that efficiently and objectively. Their track record is, of course, without blemish.
Keep cheering.
