The Patriot Post® · IRS Stonewalls Gowdy

The Obama IRS continues to stonewall the congressional investigation of its illegal targeting of Tea Party groups. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) asked IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, “How long will it take you to produce Lois Lerner’s emails … from January of 2010? Can we have it by Friday?” Koskinen replied, “Absolutely not. There’s no way physically we can,” adding later that it could take “years” to produce the requested material. But Gowdy was having none of it, insisting, “I want our subpoena complied with,” even if it’s incremental. “Let’s do January 2010,” Gowdy said. “Then let’s get ambitious and do February of 2010. Then let’s go to March 2010. And I think you know why I’m doing 2010, commissioner.” He sure does – that’s when the targeting started, and it’s why the IRS is so loath to turn over the information.
