The Washington Post - Special Prosecutor for IRS Scandal Inevitable

Ed Rogers of The Washington Post reports that based on his White House experience "The only reason the legal counsel would tell the chief of staff about an impending report or disclosure would be so the chief of staff could tell the president."  The matter at hand is that late this past April the legal counsel informed the current chief of staff of the impending release of the Treasury Department Inspector General's report exposing IRS's targeting of conservative groups for harrassment and possibly even to influence the outcome of the last election.  President Obama claims not to have learned of the report and its highly volital implications until it was reported in the news on May 10th.  Here's the point.  Rogers explains that "The legal counsel would never assume that information shared with the chief of staff would not go to the president. In my experience, a legal counsel never would believe that there was information that was appropriate for the chief of staff to know but that was inappropriate for the president to know. Out of all the news that has emerged regarding the Obama IRS scandal, this is the most curious whopper I’ve heard so far."   Something is amiss.  George Burns
