Good call. “No public interest”.

You screw up, you pay. The government screws up, you pay.

If you lie to the government, you go to jail. The government lies to you every day.

Guilty as sin. Free as a bird.

I think the key here is “based on available evidence.” The evidence was very thoroughly destroyed and they know it.

Lerner wasn't cleared of anything. Sessions refused to investigate.

She’s guilty as hell. You want evidence? Try these.

It’s like what Comey said about Hillary.

Lerner was careless, that’s all. Nothing to see here, move along.

Regarding the article title, Ms. Lerner was not cleared. A decision was made to not prosecute. Neither was HRC “exonerated” when Comey chose to not prosecute.

You notice a lot of these decisions are made during these hurricanes. They (whoever these swamp monsters are) will never let a bad situation go to waste.

They never asked me.
Someone on the Cruz team leaked my information to the IRS and Austin sent me a fabricated IRS shakedown letter.

After 4 hrs on the phone with them, even the IRS said it was fabricated.

Refusing to prosecute is not the same as cleared of any wrong doing.

But there is chatter that the President struck a deal with Lerner to get the goods on IRS Commissioner John Koskinen so that he can sack him.

B$ he needs no goods to fire him. He can just fire him, of course he wouldn't of had to if Ryan had let the house impeach him.

Right. DC cannot be trusted with much of anything; esp. law.

Of course the President could fire him without cause. We’re not completely stupid here.

But you missed the point. To get the gist of it read #47, and read upthread and downthread from there.

Yep. Sessions is a plant, a coward, or both.

My response: OK, then ... Expect to no longer receive an income tax return filing from me ... Oh, BTW, I’ll be declaring maximum dependents on my W4s - so you won’t be collecting much through your illegitimate 16th Amd “income” tax on my WAGES. (You see, I know the statutory difference between “income” and “wages.”)
