The Obama Justice Department selected Barbara Kay Bosserman, a trial lawyer in the department, to head up its investigation into the IRS political-targeting scandal. The catch is that Bosserman donated more than $6,000 to Obama in 2008 and 2012, as well as hundreds of dollars to the DNC, which creates quite the conflict of interest. The Justice Department says it won’t consider political activity when assigning cases, but this case should be an exception. Then again, the administration insists that using the might of the IRS to target political opponents is a “phony scandal,” so why wouldn’t they appoint a phony investigator?
