A request by Sen. Ted Cruz to have a special prosecutor appointed to probe allegations the Internal Revenue Service has been targeting conservative groups was denied by the Department of Justice.

The IRS has been accused of targeting conservative groups and denying them tax-exempt status based on political views.

The response Ted will get from the collective twitter universe?

I was going to suggest that the House Republicans send the House Sergeant of Arms to arrest Learner and compel her to testify, which is completely within their power to do so. Then I remembered that Boner and Cantor are running the House.

Yeah, like this Just Us department was going to allow the IRS to be investigated for targeting the Just Us department’s political enemies...

No Special Prosecuter for the worst lying crooked d-bag president America has ever had?

We owe Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton a huge apology.

Cruz asked that a special prosecutor “with meaningful independence” be appointed and pointed out the current lead investigator, Barbara Kay Bosserman, had contributed around $6,500 to President Obama’s two presidential campaigns.

The Department of Justice said the authority to create a special prosecutor has “rarely been exercised” and was “not warranted” in the IRS matter.

The letter went on to say “the Department remains committed to integrity and fairness in all of its law enforcement efforts without regard to politics,” rebutting Cruz’s accusations of bias.

Upside-down World continues.

Dear Mr. Ted Cruz - It’s high time we impeached Eric Holder. That is all.

Plus her husband is part of a law firm that bundled funds for the sacred scum bag.

One of the things to come out of Eric Holder Justice Dept Era is the need for the House to be able to appoint a Special Prosecutor on it’s own. I would hate to give this power to Nancy Pelosi’s House, but I think it is needed to give the minority power some control to at least get the other 3rd of the Government to mediate disputes.

Colonel Kratman talks about the power of the Pardon in one of his books as being extremely powerful in certain hands and I think the Democrats have showed that having your guy as AG is a great shield from misconduct.

Also, Lawyers and Judges have shown that they will not police their own.
