Fournier to CNN: ‘I Was Naive’ to Give Obama Benefit of the Doubt on IRS
Almost exactly one year ago, National Journal editorial director Ron Fournier called for a special prosecutor in the IRS investigation while giving the Obama administration the “benefit of the doubt.” Now, following several hearings in which the IRS has defended the loss of Lois Lerner’s emails, Fournier regrets trusting the White House.
“A year ago exactly tomorrow I called for a special prosecutor in this case while giving the president the benefit of the doubt,” he told CNN’s John King. “I now realize how naive I was to give the administration the benefit of the doubt. This needs to be investigated by an independent prosecutor.” Congress has now held several dramatic interrogations of IRS Commissioner John Koskinen over Lerner’s missing emails. Associated Press White House correspondent Julie Pace added that even if the lost emails represented no sinister intent, the IRS wasn’t exactly acting apologetic to a public that doesn’t yet believe its story.
