JUST IN: House Panel Asks DOJ To Consider Criminal Prosecution For Lerner

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.

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.

@ 4:28-It won't be suicide by backstabbing, but death by "natural causes". It could happen to anybody.
