Midknight Review -- new and revised: Democrats threaten to secure a "special prosecutor" before this scandal is put to rest, if the Administration continues to stonewall congress.

(CNSNews.com) - What did the White House know about the IRS targeting conservative groups and when did it know it?

Crucial evidence needed to develop an accurate answer to that question would include the records of any communications that went back and forth between the IRS and the White House on the topic.

In a May 14 letter signed by Chairman Dave Camp and Ranking Member Sander Levin, the House Ways and Means Committee demanded precisely those records from the IRS. In the same letter, the committee also demanded the records of any communications between IRS and the Treasury on the matter, plus other information and records that would help the committee understand the facts about IRS actions that subjected to heightened scrutiny conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status.

Chairman Camp and Ranking Member Levin gave the IRS a deadline of Tuesday, May 21 to comply with their committee’s demand for the information and records.

Editor's notes: Yesterday, in, yet, another display of incompetence and stark rebellion to congressional oversight, the IRS refused to meet the 21st deadline. Understand that the House Ways and Means Committee is the strongest committee in the House of Representatives. Both ranking members of this committee, Camp on the Right and Sander Levin on the Left, have joined in asking for the information specified in the May 14 letter. The Administration via the IRS has refused this joint letter.

At least for a time, it appears that the Administration is losing the battle as it seeks to control the direction of this current cover-up.

Is the Administration in trouble over this IRS issue? Well, today, May 22, Democrat members of the House committee told the witnesses sitting before them [words to this effect]: "If we don't get answers from as to who and what concerning the targeting of conservative groups by the IRS, there will be a special prosecutor. That is where we are going."

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
