WASHINGTON — The Justice Department put an avowed political supporter of President Obama in charge of the criminal probe into the IRS’s targeting of tea party groups, according to top Republicans who said Wednesday that the move has ruined the entire investigation.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa and subcommittee Chairman Jim Jordan said they’ve discovered the head of the probe 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,”

my prediction:

We the taxpayers are going to pay this guy $400+ an hour for several months.
This will result in a final report validating the administration's story,
but it will contain mild criticism about better oversight being needed (in order to appear objective).

Don't be such an ignoramus. They can't even ask her about that stuff. And those laws were passed at the behest of conservatives afraid (or maybe they were) of discrimination by career govt supervisors who were mostly democrats. It's a good law.
