Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) Question: should there be a Special Prosecutor in the Lois Lerner IRS scandal?

Trey Gowdy

You know, the one where Lois Lerner, first at the Federal Elections Committee and then while in the IRS, decided that her Federal Govt positions should be used to target people who simply disagreed with her politically (anyone not a Progressive believing in Bigger Govt was her sworn enemy), knowing that it is all but nigh impossible for the little guy to stand up against the most feared agency in the Federal Government.

She helped weaponize the Govt against at least 40% of the electorate that consider themselves to be conservative.  Then, if that was not enough, tried to bring the Dept. of Justice in to criminally prosecute those same Conservatives.  It doesn’t help her cause (or the Dems trying to defend her by any means possible).

But try they did – and did not work out all that well, given that the Chair of the Special Committee showed his true prosecutorial skills  and just toyed with a law professor they had brought in (video after the jump – I guarantee you, it is not 6 minutes wasted ):

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) grilled a University of Baltimore law professor during a Wednesday House hearing and made a compelling case as to why a special counsel is needed to investigate the IRS scandal. At one point, he even offered the professor some “free litigation advice” when he refused to answer one of his questions that seemed pretty straightforward.  Professor Charles Tiefer was brought in by Democrats as an expert to help determine whether the House Judiciary Committee should appoint a special counsel to investigate the IRS scandal.
