On the recordSeptember 16, 2014
At that hearing, we heard testimony that the Justice Department had demonstrated it ``can no longer fairly and justly oversee'' any further investigations into the ongoing IRS targeting scandal and the ``only opportunity for justice'' lies with an independent special counsel. Unfortunately, Mr. Speaker, the Obama administration has repeatedly demonstrated its unwillingness to work with congressional investigators to ensure we all know the full story behind the IRS' targeting of conservative groups. Their attempt to pull the wool over the American peoples' eyes speaks volumes. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in support of our ongoing efforts to uncover the truth and ensure accountability for the IRS' targeting of conservative groups. I commend my colleagues for bringing these important bills to the floor, and I urge my colleagues to join me in voting for them.
