...bet they both look <shudder> "great" in prison jump suit orange!
Would be an epic drag show, though !

Throw in that Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz and Alpo might even sponsor the fricken event.

I'd rather see her briefly on an episode of "Most Dangerous Catch".

Martha Stewart could host it.

Apparently, I had it all wrong in my mind. There was no crime. It was just poor management.

DOJ closes Lois Lerner investigation with no charges

Quote:

The Justice Department notified members of Congress on Friday that it is closing its two-year investigation into whether the IRS improperly targeted tea party and other conservative groups. There will be no charges against former IRS official Lois Lerner or anyone else at the agency, the Justice Department said in a letter. The probe found "substantial evidence of mismanagement, poor judgment and institutional inertia leading to the belief by many tax-exempt applicants that the IRS targeted them based on their political viewpoints. But poor management is not a crime."

"We found no evidence that any IRS official acted based on political, discriminatory, corrupt, or other inappropriate motives that would support a criminal prosecution," Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik said in the letter.

...thus saving face for Obama by not forcing his hand to a pardon....

This administration is having an epidemic of poor management and it starts at the top.

The timing of the release from DoJ is noteworthy and, imo, completely designed. The Hildabeast testimony will take center-stage now and this is, as usual & convenient, dumped into the "trash" of the Friday news cycle. It will cease to exist by the first kickoff on Sunday.

Next time I get a speeding ticket, I wonder if I can just say it was poor speed management.

After all, that isn't a crime right?

And we are another step closer to anarchy.

Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik, ultra-left wing tool appointed by the Teleprompter himself.

This left-wing corruption needs to end, before the lois learner types start receiving dirt naps.

And yes brother, "And we are another step closer to anarchy."

Edit to add: What I've not realized is how far 'left" some of the federal agencies have gone like the FBI..... besides the former king of Chicago who else have they busted on corruption charges since the Teleprompter took office?

tonyz · 10-23-2015, 18:58

The emperor himself telegraphed the Lerner/IRS result before the investigation was complete...

"...not even a smidgen of corruption.”

Lerner/IRS misdeeds were prolly just another video inspired event.

Team Sergeant, it's easy to see how it happens. You know that leadership (pink in this case) fosters the climate from the top-down. It's not just the figurehead getting confirmed, who's the face of an agency. It's all their kool-aid drinking buddies as executive appointees occupying all those secondary & tertiary positions that influence the daily operational direction. Oh, and no job available for this good-buddy? Hell; we'll just create a new Deputy Assistant Under Secretary for Whatever Affairs. (And check off another box on another milestone/metric from the last IG report; "Yes Senator, we're moving forward on that.")

Quislings all. As to a reckoning...? Apparently the tipping point has not been yet reached.

Well like a SF Brother that is a Lawyer said, "She still has the statute of Limitations. She can be charged usually within 3 years. She is not out of the woods. I am hoping federal felonies are six years hopefully a federal prosecutor under a Republican POTUS will charge her."

So better later than never!!

JimP · 10-24-2015, 05:11

3 year statutes are usually with relation to Torts (personal injuries). Criminal SOL's are usually longer (5-10 years). However, once the decision was made, it is likely NOT to be overturned with the turmoil of a new administration.

Anyone here read UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES by John Ross?

If Hillary gets elected, it is getting dangerously close to "time to feed the hogs".

DIYPatriot · 10-27-2015, 14:25

Would this be considered a consolation prize for the DOJ's refusal to bring charges against Lerner?

Impeaching the IRS Director

The IRS targeting and muzzling of conservative groups during the 2012 presidential campaign is an outrage for which almost no one has been held accountable. Which brings us to the news that House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz is introducing articles of impeachment on Tuesday against IRS Commissioner John Koskinen.

Mr. Koskinen was not at the IRS during the targeting, but the former Freddie Mac executive has become the single greatest hurdle to public accountability. He was touted as a reformer in his 2013 confirmation hearings. Instead he has helped the Administration stonewall Congress’s investigation. Mr. Chaffetz’s four articles of impeachment assert that Mr. Koskinen “engaged in a pattern of conduct that is incompatible with his duties as an Officer of the United States.”
