According to The Hill, 24 Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee sent a letter to Lynch asking for her to take up the panel's 2014 request to charge Lerner for possible crimes.
The allegations include using her position at the agency to pursue heightened scrutiny of conservative groups; obstructing investigations by giving misleading information; and disclosing confidential taxpayer information, The Hill said.
Before former Attorney General Eric Holder stepped down from his post, House Speaker John Boehner was informed by the department that Lerner would not be prosecuted for refusing to testify at a congressional hearing.
The letter, which was circulated by the committee's chairman, Paul Ryan, also prompted statements of support from Boehner and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
"The American people deserve the truth as to how the IRS was used as a political tool to target and harass Americans for their beliefs. … It is outrageous that despite having evidence right at their fingertips, the DOJ has refused to investigate potential criminal acts taken by Lois Lerner at the IRS," Boehner said in a statement, according to The Hill.
"The administration's silence on this targeting might as well imply its consent of these abusive actions," the speaker continued. "I hope the new attorney general will take this investigation seriously. The American people deserve answers and to know that justice will be served."

Just more talk from lying politicians. Even if they really did mean it, does anyone believe that a hack appointed by the kenyan would go after one of their own? This criminal will take an early retirement and live the high life off of us idiot tawpayers until she dies, just like all corrupt beaurocrats do.
The Attorney General is the firewall that protects Nobama, Hillary, Biden and Valerie Jarret and so on. Nobama knows it would be suicide to prosecute her because she know way too much.
She will disaper because she has too much on Obama
She's white , they may get a prosecution.
She needs to be in a cell....with Hillary!
