Trump’s Justice Department Lets Lois Lerner Off The Hook

The Justice Department says it will not prosecute former IRS executive Lois Lerner for targeting conservative groups during the 2010 and 2012 elections.

In a letter to top Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee, Assistant Attorney General Kevin Boyd said that after a careful review of the case, DOJ will not pursue charges against Lerner, who oversaw the IRS division that reviewed tax exempt organizations.

“After this process, the Department determined that reopening the investigation would not be appropriate based on the available evidence,” Boyd wrote Texas Rep. Kevin Brady, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, and Illinois Rep. Peter Roskam, the chairman of the subcommittee on tax policy.

Speechless. Might be a bigger plan? IDK.

She should have been fired for not cooperating with an investigation. That should be a requirement for any appointment, administrator down to the lowest position. No pleading the fifth. You can be fired in the State of MD for this and it is a requirement by MD DOC.

Look at the taxpayers expense on all of these investigations that mostly end up throwing the results under the carpet. Why do the work if you have no intentions of finishing the job you start.
