Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday he had an ordered a coordinated investigation to be done into the IRS for targeting conservative groups, calling their actions potentially criminal but "certainly outrageous and unacceptable."
"I have ordered an investigation to be begun," Holder said. "The FBI is coordinating with the Justice Department to see if any laws were broken in connection with those matters related to the IRS. Those were, I think as everyone can agree, if not criminal, they were certainly outrageous and unacceptable. But we are examining the facts to see if there were criminal violations."
