Representative Stephen Lynch (D., Mass.) slammed the lack of preparedness and conduct of IRS employees in earlier congressional hearings, and threatened a special counsel if that conduct continues. He accused the agency of stonewalling Congress by claiming to not recall names and other important pieces of information.
“If this committee is prevented by obstruction or refusal to answer the questions that we need to get to the bottom of this, you will leave us no alternative but to ask for the appointment of a special prosecutor or appointment to special council,” Lynch said at today’s House Oversight Committee.
“There will be hell to pay if that’s the route that we choose to go down,” Lynch warned.
