Video: Ted Cruz Grills Eric Holder On Investigation Into
IRS Targeting Of Conseratives

At a Senate Judiciary hearing,
today, Sen. Ted Cruz took the opportunity to grill U.S. Attorney General Eric
Holder about the DOJ's eight month investigation into the IRS's improper targeting of
conservative groups.
At the hearing, Holder declared
that the IRS investigation doesn’t warrant a Special Prosecutor and he
steadfastly denied that the the current investigator has any conflict of
interest, despite being a major Obama donor. As with all of the Regime's
scandals, his excuse for not answering pertinent questions is, "I'm not
going to discuss what we have done in an ongoing investigation."
That answer is of course designed
to stall questioners until they run out the clock.
At the 5:10 mark, Holder denied he
had any reason to believe the IRS investigation is conflicted, saying, “I don't
have any basis to believe that the people who engaged in this investigation are
doing so in a way other than investigations are normally done. That is by
looking at the facts, applying the law to those facts, and reaching the appropriate
conclusion. I don't have any basis to believe anything other than that is
occurring.”
Sen. Cruz responded, “I would say
a lot of American citizens have a basis to believe it, given 282 days have
passed and no on has been indicted, 280 days have passed and many, if not all,
of the victims have not even been interviewed. 280 days have passed and
apparently the anger and outrage that both the President and you expressed has
utterly disappeared. Indeed, in last night's State of the Union address the
President did not so much as mention the word 'IRS.' So the anger and outrage
sees very little manifestation in actual action."
In an exchange at the 9:41 mark,
Cruz told Holder, “I would call upon you to carry out the tradition of
independence that attorneys general have honored that office with for centuries
and protect the integrity of the Department of Justice, given the political
sensitivities, given the fact that individual citizens believe they are being
persecuted by the Department of Justice for partisan reasons. It would further
Justice and further the integrity of the Department of Justice for you to
appoint a special prosecutor with a meaningful degree of independence to
investigate and find out what happened, and I would suggest that any special
prosecutor should have integrity beyond reproach, and not be a major Obama
donor.”
Holder responded, “I don’t think
that there is a basis for us to conclude on the information as it presently
exists that there is any reason for the appointment of the independent
counsel…The notion that somehow this has caused a loss of faith in this Justice
Department is inconsistent with the facts.”
(Last I checked, Attorney General
Holder had an approval rating of 23%.)
