Conservatives,
In an interview with FOX News this morning, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) said flatly, "I believe Lois Lerner is hiding something." He also wondered why, if specific emails were important enough to store on her hard drive, she wouldn't have back-up copies of her "crashed" files.
Rep. Issa even went so far as to suggest that the Justice Department and the White House have an interest in keeping ex-IRS official Lois Lerner's "lost" emails hidden.
At 7:00 p.m. Eastern time, IRS commissioner John Koskinen will face tough questions from Issa and other members of the House Oversight Committee. If tonight's hearing is anything like Koskinen's Friday appearance before the House Ways and Means Committee, a national "primetime" audience could be in for some intense political fireworks.
+ + Call on Congress to immediately appoint an independent special counsel to fully investigate illegal IRS targeting of conservatives!
This weekend, the California Republican issued what the Washington Post called "a massive homework assignment" for the embattled IRS commissioner:
Presumably because all those questions will take a while to answer, Issa has scheduled a follow-up hearing tomorrow. But the truth is, the IRS scandal needs more than congressional hearings to reveal the extent of the federal government's illegal targeting of conservatives!
For the past year, the IRS and the Obama administration have been stonewalling and obstructing three congressional investigations. It's time for Congress to appoint an independent special counsel to fully investigate the IRS. Click the image below to sign a national petition demanding lawmakers take action:
One of America's most powerful and most feared federal agencies has refused, time and again, to be forthcoming and cooperative in its dealings with Congress. More than a year ago, the IRS admitted to "inappropriately" subjecting conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status to extra scrutiny. The agency first claimed it was a couple of "rogue agents" in Ohio, but that wasn't true. Later, the IRS said it would turn over all of ex-official Lois Lerner's emails to investigators. That wasn't true either.
As a constitutional attorney, I contend that every organization that was subjected to additional IRS scrutiny had their First Amendment rights violated by our government. That should concern every American -- Republican AND Democrat. When a federal agency like the IRS is allowed to become a political "attack dog" for an administration, We the People must take action!
Click the image below to call on Congress to appoint an independent special counsel to investigate the IRS' illegal targeting of conservatives:
Lois Lerner's "lost" emails are subpoenaed evidence in a congressional investigation. If the IRS and the Obama administration won't produce that evidence, an independent special counsel must force them to do it!

P.S. Again, a powerful and feared federal agency should not be used as ANY administration's "attack dog" to silence political opponents.

IRS commissioner John Koskinen is scheduled to appear before the House Oversight Committee at 7:00 p.m. ET today. The highly unusual evening hearing speaks to the sense of urgency and significance surrounding the IRS targeting scandal.
That's exactly why Liberty Counsel Action launched a new platform on Friday calling for Congress to appoint an independent special counsel. The American people are fed up with the stonewalling and obstruction by the IRS and the Obama administration, and it's time to take action!
Please read my urgent update below, and then sign the petition calling for an independent special counsel to investigate the illegal IRS targeting of conservatives -- Mat.

This weekend, the California Republican issued what the Washington Post called "a massive homework assignment" for the embattled IRS commissioner:
"Issa asked the agency chief in a letter on Saturday to answer more than 50 technological questions related to the missing records before testifying."
Presumably because all those questions will take a while to answer, Issa has scheduled a follow-up hearing tomorrow. But the truth is, the IRS scandal needs more than congressional hearings to reveal the extent of the federal government's illegal targeting of conservatives!
