Republicans Put IRS Probe on the Backburner

“A year after it began, the IRS targeting controversy has been overtaken by the Benghazi attacks on the oversight agenda of House Republicans,” The Hill reports.

“While Republicans are convinced that the Obama administration is stonewalling them on both matters, Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and the House GOP have only set up a special committee for Benghazi. On the IRS, House Republicans have instead pushed the Justice Department to more aggressively pursue its investigation, and this week pushed Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint a special prosecutor.”
