On the day the House Oversight Committee held Lois Lerner in
contempt, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said Congress should impeach Attorney General
Eric Holder if he does not indict those like Lerner for their roles in the
IRS's targeting of conservative groups.
In a Thursday appearance on Sean Hannity's radio program,
Cruz said Holder should be impeached for "defying Congress and the rule of
law." He said Holder's actions were not in the spirit of the Department of
Justice, which Cruz said has "a bipartisan tradition of resisting partisan
pressure and upholding the rule of law." Cruz cited examples of Holder's
predecessors (Janet Reno and Elliot Richardson, respectively) from Bill
Clinton's and Richard Nixon's administrations.
Cruz said he was "very pleased" that Lerner was
held in contempt by the House Committee but noted that the Justice Department
has not indicted one person eight months after the inspector general concluded
that the IRS had wrongfully targeted conservative groups. He blistered the
Obama administration for appointing a Democrat who was a bundler for Obama's
campaign to head the IRS investigation, and he said that would be akin to John
Mitchell investigating Richard Nixon.
