Rep Scott Garrett Comments on Obama administration stonewalling
Garrett Grills Secretary Lew About Transparency and IRS Targeting
I have been quite disturbed at this administration’s clear pattern of stonewalling anyone who dares shine the light of day into the inner workings of the Obama administration. From the terrorist attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, to Attorney General Eric Holder’s refusal to hand over key documents for the Fast and Furious investigation, to the lack of the administration’s cooperation with Congress in providing details regarding ObamaCare’s failed implementation, requests for information have either been met with silence or outright refusal by this administration.
Unfortunately, this pattern has continued at the Department of Treasury under Jack Lew’s leadership.
Today, Secretary Jack Lew testified before the House Financial Services Committee, and I finally had a chance to question him about his unwillingness to respond to three simple questions I asked back in June. I hope you will take a few moments to watch our exchange.
Sincerely,
Scott Garrett
