The Journal reports that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is unlikely to file any criminal charges in the targeting of conservative political organizations by the Internal Revenue Service. Yet Cleta Mitchell, an attorney who represents many of the targets, says that the FBI has never contacted any of her clients to discuss their treatment at the hands of the IRS. "Shouldn't law enforcement talk to the victims in an investigation?," she asks in an email. "That's like investigating a burglary without interviewing the burgled," notes a Journal editorial.
The press corps suddenly cares a great deal about cancelled meetings in New Jersey state government. Perhaps they should be asking why the FBI at first promised that the official in charge of the IRS investigation, Valerie Parlave, would meet with Rep. Jim Jordan of the House Oversight Committee and then—after contacting a senior political appointee at Justice—declined to make her available.

The DO”J” actually took time from directing their
attacks of BLACKS against WHITES and JEWS
to cover this up?
The corruption in this “government” knows no bounds. We are no longer a republic, we are a one party Feudal system.
My tag line expresses my complete thought on this matter.
oh I am sure the FBI found what they needed in the penumbra and emanations of Eric Holder’s mind
This country is most certainly NOT a feudal system…. you would be more accurate to describe it as a socialist oligarchy
“socialist oligarchy”
thanks, that is what I was reaching for with my comment.
I guess wording is not important to me as a serf taxpayer!
Just look at who’s IN CHARGE??
Didja expect anything DIFFERENT??
This will not end well, boys and girls.
anyone have ANY confidence in the F.B.I. ?
anyone have ANY confidence in the D.O.J. ?
the whole fedgubmint has been punked by obammy and his a hole minions
They can when the results of the "investigation" were already written before it started. That's called efficiency. We should thank them for not wasting time & resources. ;-/
They can when they are both run by Obama Socialists intent on bringing down the USA.
Democrats are LAW-LESS because Republicans are BALL-LESS!!!
So this administration has politicized what was once a great law enforcement agency.

I saw this coming in the 90’s when I had to work on task forces with the FBI and IRS. They only cared about asset seizure and did very little leg work, if any, on actual crime investigation.
The ‘crime’ of the IRS

“For the IRS outrages extend well beyond the targeting of individuals and groups opposed to President Obama’s agenda. High on that list is the way the woman at the center of this storm, Lois Lerner, basically took her own version of the Fifth at hearings, telling Congress she’d done nothing wrong but wasn’t planning on saying anything else.
Maybe the FBI is right, that it’s just all a big misunderstanding, that IRS officials were only at the White House for Easter Egg rolls. Even so, our Constitution doesn’t leave accountability to the judgement of the FBI. To the contrary, our system holds that the American people, through their elected representatives in Congress, have the right to know what their government is doing.
In short, if the threat of criminal charges has in fact been removed, there’s no more excuse for Lois Lerner not to tell us, under oath, what she was apparently afraid to say in May.”

Did you expect anything but a whitewash?
that’s okay in some ways you are pretty close… there ain’t a lot of difference...
