Banana republic update: Obama donor selected to lead IRS probe | Human Events

At this point, all you can do is sit back and watch the fun.
Soon President Obama will be giving press conferences wearing sunglasses and an ersatz military uniform covered with phony medals.
From the Washington Times:

The Justice Department selected an avowed political supporter of President Obama to lead the criminal probe into the IRS targeting of tea party groups, according to top Republicans who said Wednesday that the move has ruined the entire investigation.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell E. Issa, California Republican, and regulatory affairs subcommittee Chairman Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican, said they have discovered that the head of the investigation is Barbara Kay Bosserman, a trial lawyer in the Justice Department who donated more than $6,000 to Mr. Obama’s 2008 and 2012 campaigns, as well as several hundred dollars to the national Democratic Party.

“The department has created a startling conflict of interest,” Mr. Issa and Mr. Jordan said in a letter sent Wednesday and reviewed by The Washington Times. “It is unbelievable that the department would choose such an individual to examine the federal government’s systematic targeting and harassment of organizations opposed to the president’s policies.”

I’ve just received an email from a Mr. I. Montoya, who says he doesn’t think the word “unbelievable” means what Reps. Issa and Jordan think it means.

Say, would everyone in the media be OK with Chris Christie appointing one of his ardent supporters and donors to investigate the Bridge-gate scandal?
