IRS scandal worse than Watergate

Kyle Smith:

...
Yes, the IRS scandal differs from Watergate. In Watergate, the president appointed an independent-minded special prosecutor to investigate. It was considered a scandal when the president fired that special counsel, Archibald Cox, even though Cox was succeeded within less than two weeks by an equally ferocious prosecutor, Leon Jaworski. 

President Obama? He hasn’t even appointed a special prosecutor in the first place. That’s far worse.

The timing of the destruction of evidence appears to coincide with a Congressional inquiry into the targeting of conservatives.  That is where the timeline leads us.  So far there has been a reluctance of whistle blowers to step forward.  Perhaps they fear the Chicago way response.
