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. 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.
On another front, a separate committee will vote Thursday on whether to hold her in contempt of Congress for twice refusing to testify on the scandal.

Formally "ASK" a corrupt justice department to prosecute one of there own?? what a joke
It is a joke 1:27, so why are they wasting their time? How about those job promises they were elected on.
More of the House GOP 3 ring circus.
Setting up the impeachment of Holder. When they break the ice by removing Holder and possibly prosecuting him, them maybe we can start holding the Obama administration accountable for all their crimes.
I agree with you 3:39 pm....excellent point....
NEVER HAPPEN.. Don't forget Ob' has the authority to "pardon" anyone for his sins. If she squeals I expect to hear she has been found with a knife in her back from suicide.

3:39 What are you smoking? He has been there for 6 years and now you think they are going to go after him? Ha!
@ 4:28-It won't be suicide by backstabbing, but death by "natural causes". It could happen to anybody.
