After a contentious Wednesday hearing with IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, South Carolina Republican congressman Trey Gowdy threatened to hold the top tax official in contempt of Congress unless he produces disgraced IRS official Lois Lerner’s emails by the end of this week.
Gowdy spoke with Fox News’ Greta van Susteren about Wednesday’s hearing, where a slew of GOP congressmen tore into Koskinen’s claim that responding to the Oversight committee’s subpoena for Lerner’s emails could take years.
“All we want are the emails to or from Lois Lerner — I’m not talking about private taxpayer information. That’s 6103, that’s confidential, that’s a separate conversation,” he said.
“Just emails like the one she sent celebrating a Democratic victory in a special election, calling on the FEC to save the day — overtly political, nothing to do with her job — we’ll just settle for those!” the congressman said. “And I even said just give me the ones from January 2010!”

Obama is Law-Less because Republican "leaders" are BALL-LESS!!
Clean up your talk....this is not DU.
Unless The House IMPRISONS Lerner finding her in Contempt will not matter at all, just like with Holder.
The Democrats are scofflaws and the Republican House are blustering, cowering, and ineffectual. In other words: worthless. That has to end TODAY.
The House MUST use its inherent power to imprison this contumacious witness.
Mr. Gowdy..... MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!!!! Get ‘er done!
It’s time to cowboy up.
I keep hearing threats but don't see any action.
We’ll see. Lots of us thought Issa was the man, too, about 47 hearings ago.
Well, it’s the end of the week. Any news from Gowdy on this?
Nope. No IRS news yet.
