House panel asks DOJ to consider criminal prosecution for Lerner
Published April 09, 2014
·FoxNews.com
A House committee voted Wednesday to formally ask the Justice Department to consider criminal prosecution against ex-IRS official Lois Lerner, the figure at the center of the political targeting scandal.

The House Ways and Means Committee voted 23-14 to send the criminal referral, which accused her of "extreme bias." The vote marked an escalation in Republicans' push to confront Lerner over her role in the agency's controversial practice of singling out conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status for extra scrutiny.

"If we don't stand up for the right of the American people, who else will?" committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., said after the vote.

A 14-page letter to Attorney General Eric Holder outlined Republicans' case against the former IRS official, saying she "may have violated multiple criminal statutes."

The letter accused Lerner of using her position to improperly target conservative groups and deny their constitutional rights; of impeding an inspector general investigation by giving misleading statements; and of risking the disclosure of confidential taxpayer information.

"This investigation has uncovered serious, unprecedented actions taken by Lois Lerner that deprived conservative groups of their rights under the Constitution," Camp said in a statement. "Today's action highlights specific wrongdoing for the Department of Justice to pursue. DOJ has a responsibility to act, and Lois Lerner must be held accountable."

Unfortunately, the stooge Holder won't do jack-squat about any of this. he'll run the clock out claiming it is "already being investigated".

It may be getting time to "feed the hogs".

Give her immunity and call her to a hearing so she has to spill her guts...the only way to get any truth or resolution.

"Stand-up" writers are rejoicing everywhere...

Concur.

Let her talk, ask questions, and charge her with perjury of anything that she gets wrong.

Go for the next level up, if not two levels. Keep at it till you reach the top, ala Nixon.

Yeah, Holder's going to be all over this one.:munchin

Don't get me started with Holder.:mad:

Holder will do nothing because he and the DOJ would be implicated along with a parade of others. You know the legalities of the IRS actions were explored and then just ignored.

1st sentence Post#1, perhaps I took it a little to literal? It has been a long day and much of it was spent sourcing tools for our new Pioneer Kits. Using a good tool to do the work is a thing of beauty.

Golf1- Little piece of advice for you: When a QP ask you a question, just answer it. We don't really care about your excuses. That will be especially prudent if the QPs screen name is in green ;)

You do have to admit - they appear to be nice shovels. And given where a real investigation (highly unlikely) proceeding along the immunity/perjury lines TR favors (me too!) could go; she really might get "Fostered".

Not to speak for someone, but I took it to mean that Ms. Learner has dug herself quite a hole, and seems to be accelerating her efforts, thus necessitating additional shovels.
