  CALLING FOR A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR TO BE APPOINTED TO INVESTIGATE THE 
                           LOIS LERNER EMAILS

  (Mr. MARCHANT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, after months of requesting all of Lois 
Lerner's emails, the agency now tells Congress that it has lost 2 
years' worth of her emails. The IRS knew about these problems for 
months. They even told the White House about the lost emails, but 
withheld this information from Congress.
  This stonewalling by the IRS must end. The complete lack of faith of 
my constituents in the IRS compels me to demand a special prosecutor to 
independently investigate the lost emails of Lois Lerner.
  There needs to be an independent investigation that leaves no stone 
unturned. This should also include a forensic audit of their IT 
systems. Only then will the American people know the truth. This will 
send the message to the IRS that the American people will not tolerate 
further abuses.
