NRO: A special counsel is not necessary to investigate the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups, President Obama said this afternoon. His announcement comes despite calls from a number of conservative lawmkers urging the Justice Department to assign a special counsel to lead an investigation into the matter.
“I think that it’s gonna be sufficient for us to be working with Congress, they’ve got a whole bunch of committees, we’ve got IGs already there, the IG has done an audit, it’s now my understanding they’re going to be recommending an investigation,” the president explained. “Between those investigations I think we’re going to be able to figure out exactly what happened, who was involved, what went wrong, and we’re going to be able to implement steps to fix it.”
Looks like Holder's not the only one who knows the word, "no," if nothing else.
Also, notice he's cut off the call for a better tax system quickly by the mention of "working with Congress" and "we've got a whole bunch of committees." The Statist wouldn't want a better system.
