This will probably not come as a surprise to anyone but the Department of Injustice has informed John Boehner that the agency will not seek contempt charges against Lois Lerner.
Here is more:
The Justice Department will not seek criminal contempt charges against former IRS official Lois Lerner, the central figure in a scandal that erupted over whether the tax agency improperly targeted conservative political groups.
Ronald Machen, the former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, told House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) in a seven-page letter this week that he would not bring a criminal case to a grand jury over Lerner’s refusal to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee in March 2014. The House approved a criminal contempt resolution against Lerner in May 2014, and Machen’s office has been reviewing the issue since then.
And why would they, after all, wait for it…there is not even a smidgen of corruption here.
The good news is the FBI is still investigating her and the IRS but I think we all know what that investigation will yield because the end justifies the means…
