‘Good luck with that’: Oversight Committee asks Eric Holder for communications between IRS, DOJ

Posted at 7:26 pm on April 24, 2014 by Brett T.

Rep. Darrell Issa and the GOP House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform are asking Attorney General Eric Holder to produce all communications and documentation between the Justice Department and IRS official Lois Lerner, dating back to January 2009.

The letter asks AG Holder to produce all docs/communications between/among Lois Lerner & employees of #DOJ from Jan '09 – now. #IRStargeting

Previously unreleased emails from @JudicialWatch #FOIA release last week show #DOJ considered prosecuting 501(c)(4) groups targeted by #IRS.

The emails to Lerner show that #IRS and #DOJ were actively considering efforts to target tax-exempt orgs just 2 days before Lerner's apology
— Darrell Issa (@DarrellIssa) April 24, 2014

These emails call into question Holder's reaction that targeting was 'outrageous' and 'unacceptable,' given apparent DOJ collusion with IRS.

The @GOPoversight letter asks for DOJ / Lerner communications & all communications referring to potential prosecution of tax-exempt orgs.

We’re not expecting to see this documentation appear any time before the mid-term elections, if ever.

@DarrellIssa @GOPoversight Congressman, he will just ignore you again.

@DarrellIssa @GOPoversight Good luck with that (tongue-in-cheek).

@DarrellIssa @GOPoversight You won't get it from the AG that is already in contempt. What can you do give him double contempt?

@DarrellIssa @GOPoversight Only comment I have: Why not DEMAND it.

@DarrellIssa @GOPoversight it's like you guys are insane. You do the same thing expecting a different result. Two words:special prosecutor!

@DarrellIssa Ok, let's get this straight, you ask Holder to give you evidence that he is part of a conspiracy and you expect … What ?

@DarrellIssa that will be another stalemate. Can't we just impeach this man?

Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., calls Holder contempt vote a ‘congressional lynching’

Attorney General Eric Holder contempt hearing: Stonewalling, executive privilege, more dangerous incompetence; Update: Democrats show moral bankruptcy, executive privilege backfires; does it show Obama knew?

House holds Holder in contempt: 17 Democrats vote yes, other Dems walk out; Update: Media continues to push ‘retaliation’ narrative

Eric Holder has ‘no respect’ for NRA-driven contempt of Congress vote
