Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “The Real Story With Gretchen Carlson,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)  said,  “The Department of Justice investigation of this has been woefully negligent” as he called for impeachment of Attorney General Eric Holder if he continues to ignores calls to appoint a special prosecutor to look into the IRS scandal targeting conservative group for extra scrutiny and the subsequent loss of emails requested in the congressional investigation.

“Just a couple of weeks ago I publicly called on the Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint a special prosecutor with meaningful independence to investigate the abuse of power, he added. “And if the Attorney General doesn’t do that in my view the House of Representatives should begin impeachment proceedings against the Attorney General. We cannot have the chief law enforcement officer of the United States openly mocking and disregarding the law in refusing to investigate the Obama administration simply for partisan reasons.”
