Are Republicans finally growing a set? After this past week of announcing a special investigator will examine the Benghazi cover-up scandal, Republicans are set to vote this week on a special counsel that will require corrupt AG Eric Holder to appoint a special counsel to investigate the IRS targeting scandal. Oh right. It’s an election year, so Republicans have suddenly grown a smidgen of a set.

House Republican leaders have set a vote for next week on a resolution urging the Justice Department to name a special counsel to investigate the IRS targeting scandal.
The decision follows GOP complaints that the individual currently probing claims that the IRS unfairly targeted conservative groups. Barbara Bosserman, is an Obama donor.
“It is time for Attorney General (Eric) Holder to appoint a special counsel to investigate the IRS targeting scandal and bring the appropriate charges against those responsible,” House GOP leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said in a written statement Friday, announcing the vote for next week.
Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan introduced the nonbinding resolution Friday calling for a special counsel.
Jordan called an ongoing investigation by the Justice Department “a joke.”
