Corruption: A House panel votes this week to formally ask the DOJ to pursue criminal charges against former IRS employee Lois Lerner. It is time someone in this administration were held accountable for something.
A staff report by House Oversight Committee chairman Darrell Issa reveals testimony by IRS agents that the IRS has not deliberately targeted progressive groups. Now comes word that the House Ways and Means Committee is sending a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder accusing former IRS director of tax-exempt organizations Lois Lerner of committing at least three crimes in the IRS's targeting tea party and other conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.
That crimes have been committed and the Internal Revenue Service has become a corrupt criminal enterprise used to bludgeon political opponents of the Obama administration is hardly in dispute. The charge might have long ago been adjudicated had the Justice Department of Eric Holder, rife with its own very real scandals, not been politicized beyond all recognition.

Hans Von Spakovsky, senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation, says government officials can't pick and choose when and where they invoke their Fifth Amendment rights. They can't legally give information to the DOJ that they withhold from Congress.
"When Lerner gave a lengthy interview to the government, she waived the Fifth. There's no doubt about it," says Von Spakovsky. "The law is crystal clear here in the District of Columbia. That means when she showed up March 5, she was obligated to provide the same information."

Just 1 of these high ranking clowns going to jail might be enough to start the birds singing.
Truly fed up with all the criminals in the Obama Admin skating. THESE ARE CRIMINAL ACTS! Fast and Furious, Benghazi, IRS, etc. House of Representatives......DO SOMETHING NOW!
You may well be right, It’d be a good start if both she and Holder were both in a federal slammer.
I’d even offer amnesty to the Slowest Lerner for real actionable info on those above her.
No about 100 top leaders are needed
...and make that rat Cummings take her there.
Lock up ALL rats and their ilk!
Have you not realized that the laws are for the little people - enforced by our DOJ as required and modified by our President! Laws are just what the current Administration decides are active...
YES, but I doubt he’d be able to drive having already had a stroke. :-)

Didn’t read entire article..anyone know when they’re voting & if on CSPAN?
To those who hold a higher level of authority, a higher level of accountability is required. Louis Lerner, if found guilty, should serve decades in federal prison for corruption.
Lerner waived the 5th. Her lawyer was stupid to allow that. I read the house investigation of that issue today. She will now be held in contempt unless these gutless and worthless republicrat RINOs cave again.
I hope they don’t pass it off to DOJ and then wash their hands.
She shouldn’t go to jail, she should be on jail!!!
Issa is a pussy!
Ms. Lerner: Yes, I understand.
FBI Agent: Did you commit a crime?
Ms. Lerner: No.
FBI Agent: Well, I think that just about wraps things up. Thank you very much.
