In a just world, Lerner would be in jail.
You said it.
If I were one of these groups, I’d rathher that the guilty parties do a long perp walk than the aggrieved groups getting ANY monetary settlement.
It would more than compensate.
Well, an apology is not enough. This was clearly an abuse of power and prosecutable.
Given the way this legal system shit usually goes down, FedGov swamp dwellers probably forced the acting classes to capitulate on prosecuting Lerner et. al. criminally as a stipulation in the settlement agreement.
They get some remuneration for their prior persecution.
The criminals walk with no further repercussions.
“Here’s a few million. Go away now.”
Not enough. The actions were illegal, there should be a special prosecutor, indictments should be handed down, charges filed, trials held, convictions obtained, judgements and sentences made. And if it is possible to impeach a former president for high crimes and misdemeanors, and if the shoe fits, then that should be done as well.
Righteo.
“John Koskinen, REMAINS the head of the IRS.”
PDJT just announced his replacement today. I believe Nov. 12 is the end of his time at the IRS.
You were saying:
Good call!
We have no clue what the settlement was, could have been an apology, or several million dollars.
We have no clue what the settlement was, could have been an apology, or several million dollars.
It could include retraining of all IRS auditors, new rules on political neutrality, Apologies by the agency.
Millions of dollars, easily.
We do not know.
The “IRS” didn’t do this.
People within the IRS did it.
Why aren’t they being held responsible?
Wrong.
Lerner is high enough up the ladder and was a willing, more than willing, participant in this most egregious crime.
Sure, get the person above if appropriate. But she needs to pay a heavy penalty for this.
Trying to defend her is a fool’s errand.
And that’s how Obongo get a second term...The IRS hamstrung all the groups forming to take on the whack nut in the White House.
You nailed it with:
“DOJ Settles with Tea Party Groups on Lois Lerner IRS Scandal”
These Tea Party groups were trying to start up before the 2012 election.
Lois Lerner IRS was trying to throw an election by trying to keep these groups from forming, from assembling, and from distributing their information freedom of press.
Lois Lerner IRS and those around her should be thrown in jail for:
1) throwing the 2012 election
2) keeping groups from freedom of assembly
3) keeping groups from freedom of press
She violated their civil rights.
Along with every one of those higher up in the IRS
Bring them all down @POTUS
Indict, charge and prosecute to the fullest etc...
