The Federal Bureau of Investigation doesn't plan to file criminal charges over the Internal Revenue Service's heightened scrutiny of conservative groups, according to law-enforcement officials, a move that likely will only intensify debate over the politically charged scandal.
The officials said investigators didn't find the kind of political bias or "enemy hunting" that would amount to a violation of criminal law. Instead, what emerged during the probe was evidence of a mismanaged bureaucracy...

Yeah sort of like they really needed to announce this. We already knew what their findings would be. The real criminal is running the prison.

“How can we stop this???? ”
Well, in the past men such as Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, etc., had a few ideas.

Crime and connections can win the Presidency. :)

Since nothing will be done about the criminal act, all that remains is the lingering warning to the leftist and GOP-e opposition.
I always wondered why the media allowed this scandal to come to the light of day. Now we know. The police state strikes again.

So, the government investigated itself and found no government wrongdoing.

in 2016 he pardons anyone who is in trouble for helping hm in his crimes. Think about the time line. Even charges brought up today would take over a year to prosecute. Nobody spends any time in prison.

If I was the Governor of Texas I would call for a meeting with my fellow Governors to discuss secession. I would lay out the case for a separation from FedGov in the open, for everyone to see.
Any Governor that is not for secession can leave or not come, they will either be a friend or enemy depending...

When a computer hard drive becomes corrupted the best course of action is to wipe it clean, reformat it, and start over. Same with governments.

The FBI field agents, Agent in Charge, and higher ups are all committing conspiracy. This is our modern government: Go along to get along - collect a pension or better.

Obama ordered the IRS to oppress and audit American citizen conservatives and Republicans: yet the media and government say that is not news. This affected the election as the IRS didnt allow 500 conservative groups to form in time for the election. so Obama rigged the last election. and still the IRS is oppressing conservatives. We dont live in a free country anymore
this is just one out of thousands of abuses of Power this socialist tyrant Obama has committed. If Palin or a Republican were president the media would have drummed them out of office for a number of fake scandals by now

Using a government agency to influence a federal election is not a crime, I guess, in Transformed America.
If they DID file charges they would not be able to do it again in 2014 and 2016 and 2018 and
So the Powers That Be preserved a useful tool.
