The IRS: Just One of Dozens of Uncooperative AgenciesLots of other federal agencies are evading investigation, too, and IGs are livid.December 23, 2014 4:00 AM, By Kevin D. Williamson Earlier this year, 47 inspectors general — the officials charged with fighting corruption, waste, and wrongdoing in federal agencies — sent a letter to Issa’s committee complaining that organizations ranging from the EPA to the Justice Department were impeding their investigations by withholding information — despite the fact that federal law specifically forbids withholding that information. These are not a bunch of Republican operatives trying to score a few political points: Those 47 inspectors general comprise more than half of all such officials, and many who signed the letter were appointed by President Barack Obama. Their complaint is that the federal agencies treat them more or less like they do . . . members of Congress: thwarting them, withholding documents, obstruction investigations. www.nationalreview.com/article/395337/irs-just-one-dozens-uncooperative-agencies-kevin-d-williamson#!
