Three scandals GOP Senate must tackle: IRS, Benghazi, Fast & Furious

◼ As President Obama sits down on Friday with Republicans who will soon control the Senate and the House, there’s no shortage of issues lawmakers want to tackle when the new Congress convenes in January. - Jay Sekulow/FOX

The economy. Health care. ISIS. Energy. These are all critical issues that must be addressed. Time will tell if there will be any substantive action on these issues, or just more political posturing by the president.

One thing is clear, though. With Republicans controlling both chambers of Congress, there will be a real opportunity to pass key legislation addressing these and other critical issues.

It is also clear that the Senate, which has been blocked from investigating numerous scandals over the past six years by outgoing Majority Leader Harry Reid, will now be able to fully engage these troubling and important cases by conducting investigations of its own.

For years the Republican-controlled House has carried the congressional load in probing the scandals. Now it is time for the Senate to join forces.
