Lois Lerner targeted sitting US GOP Senator over mistaken invitation
The Right Scoop ^ | June 25 2014 | The Right Scoop

Posted on 06/25/2014 2:30:32 PM PDT by PoloSec

This is how partisan and corrupt Lois Lerner is:

Here is more from Rep. , chairman of Ways and Means committee:

Today, Ways and Means Committee Chairman (R-MI) announced the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) targeting of conservative individuals includes a sitting United States Senator. According to emails reviewed by the Committee under its Section 6103 authority, which allows the Committee to review confidential taxpayer information, Lois Lerner sought to have Senator (R-IA) referred for IRS examination.

“We have seen a lot of unbelievable things in this investigation, but the fact that Lois Lerner attempted to initiate an apparently baseless IRS examination against a sitting Republican United States Senator is shocking,” said Camp. “At every turn, Lerner was using the IRS as a tool for political purposes in defiance of taxpayer rights. We may never know the full extent of the abuse since the IRS conveniently lost two years of Lerner emails, not to mention those of other key figures in this scandal. The fact that DOJ refuses to investigate the IRS’s abuses or appoint a special counsel demonstrates, yet again, this Administration’s unwillingness to uphold the rule of law.”

All over a mistaken invite.

No, not a smidgen of corruption. Not one spot.

Super-duper speech by Camp. Wow, if only speeches could imprison, eh?

Now back to your regularly scheduled bread-and-circuses.

Republican response, “When they spit in their faces we call it dew.” Let’s see where have we hear that before?

Republicans in House can NOT appoint a special prosecutor.
Only the Attorney General Eric Holder has the power to do that.

So nothing will happen to Lerner, nothing CAN happen to lerner so long as Obummer regime is in power.

Putting her in House Jail without any court trial or email evidence or any other evidence will do just the opposite.

The MSM will call it a witch hunt. And Lerner will become a sympathy object.

Notice from the copy of that email, her initial message was ----"Sent from my Blackberry Wireless Handheld."

Where are emails sent from a Blackberry are stored? On the device itself? If so, they should subpoena hers and those of the others whose HDDs mysteriously crashed.

Maybe they are hoping she’ll drop a few names from high up?
America is being run by criminals, and no justice dept to call them out.

Reposted with the names included that are missing from the orginal.

Here is more from Rep. Dave Camp, chairman of Ways and Means committee:

Today, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) announced the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) targeting of conservative individuals includes a sitting United States Senator. According to emails reviewed by the Committee under its Section 6103 authority, which allows the Committee to review confidential taxpayer information, Lois Lerner sought to have Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) referred for IRS examination.

“We have seen a lot of unbelievable things in this investigation, but the fact that Lois Lerner attempted to initiate an apparently baseless IRS examination against a sitting Republican United States Senator is shocking,” said Camp. “At every turn, Lerner was using the IRS as a tool for political purposes in defiance of taxpayer rights.

She knew that she would get away with it, and she was right.
