The overlords care so little now for public outrage over their machinations that they proceed with them quite openly

Do you think they give a diddly what anybody says about the appointment of Barbara Bosserman to head DoJ's investigation of IRS targeting of conservative groups?

Bosserman donated a combined $6,750 to President Obama’s election campaigns and the Democratic National Committee between 2004 and 2012, according to federal campaign finance records.

And do you buy this crap?

The Justice Department said that it cannot take political leanings into account when assigning cases and that making legal political contributions does not prevent its attorneys from fulfilling their duties without bias.

She was hardly picked in a logical fashion:

What makes Bosserman’s selection doubly odd is that she doesn’t even work in the Public Integrity Section of the Criminal Division, which is responsible for investigating and prosecuting public corruption. Rather, she’s a lawyer in the Civil Rights Division, the most politicized division within the entire Justice Department. It’s certainly possible that the IRS practices under investigation may be civil-rights violations, but it’s curious that Attorney General Holder chose to dip into that talent pool for this particular lawyer to lead this investigation, rather than tap someone from the Public Integrity Section.
 
Doesn't pass the smell test, but what will come of it?
