According to new IRS emails obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request from Judicial Watch, former head of tax exempt groups at the IRS Lois Lerner contacted the Department of Justice in May 2013 about whether tax exempt groups could be criminally prosecuted for "lying" about political activity.
"I got a call today from Richard Pilger Director Elections Crimes Branch at DOJ ... He wanted to know who at IRS the DOJ folk s [sic] could talk to about Sen. Whitehouse idea at the hearing that DOJ could piece together false statement cases about applicants who "lied" on their 1024s --saying they weren't planning on doing political activity, and then turning around and making large visible political expenditures. DOJ is feeling like it needs to respond, but want to talk to the right folks at IRS to see whether there are impediments from our side and what, if any damage this might do to IRS programs. I told him that sounded like we might need several folks from IRS," Lerner wrote in a May 8, 2013 email to former Nikole C. Flax, who was former-Acting IRS Commissioner Steven T. Miller's chief of staff.
"I think we should do it – also need to include CI [Criminal Investigation Division], which we can help coordinate. Also, we need to reach out to FEC. Does it make sense to consider including them in this or keep it separate?"

Damn Boehner ... what are you waiting for?!
“With such clear evidence of collusion with the DO”j” .... appoint a SPECIAL PROSECUTOR!
Damn Boehner ... what are you waiting for?!”
As I understand it, the House cannot appoint a Special Prosecutor. That is an executive function.
If Judicial Watch has these emails then presumably Darryl Issa’s committee has them as well — and don’t zero with them.
Something of this nature HAS to be approved by the imposter in the white house. No irs head can take it upon herself to start anything like this.
So, the shriveled up old marxist needs to be in jail, along with those who gave her moral support.
It is possible that they want this information to drip, drip, drip out right up to the election.
Look at all of the felonies in this administration & NOBODY will go to jail for them. Yea, it's more corrupt than any free democracy.
“whether tax exempt groups could be criminally prosecuted for “lying” about political activity.”
http://www.barackobama.com/about/ comes to mind.
This needs wider play, generalizing the attitude of leftists and liberals.
Their fondest dream is to use the power of government to punish those that disagree with or resist them.
No immunity for this b*tch! She needs to be in freaking jail!
She’s a major liability to Obama and Conspirators. She should fear for her life.
IRS criminal conduct bump for later....
