Lois Lerner Gets Off - Hillary Clinton Breathes Easier
Investor's Business Daily ^ | April 6, 2015 | IBD EDITORIALS

Posted on 04/06/2015 9:42:58 AM PDT by raptor22

Scandal: The Justice Department says Lois Lerner, who used her IRS office to target the Tea Party, didn't waive her Fifth Amendment rights before Congress and won't be prosecuted for contempt over her missing emails.

Until former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is called to testify under oath before Congress about her multiple private email accounts on a personal server kept in her Chappaqua, N.Y., home, she won't get a chance to plead the Fifth Amendment as former IRS official Lois Lerner did in May 2013 before the House Oversight Committee regarding her division's targeting of Tea Party groups.

The fact that this rhymes with witch isn’t in jail is a national travesty.

I doubt if Hillary was ever worried.

LOL! Was there any ever doubt that she’d skate? And I can guarantee her retirement check will be better than mine. The hildebeast will skate as well.

Hopefully President Cruz will appoint an attorney general who will go after Lois Lerner. The statute of limitations will not have run out in 2017.

Hold Nancy Pelosi’s nose to this dog turd. She’s the one who promised the most ethical congress/administration ever in 2006.

Raise your hand if you think that the DOJ didn't spend its time making sure that she was never held accountable.

It’s going to be a dangerous time for this country going into the next election. There are a whole lot of people connected with the present administration that will be very anxious to stay out of jail. They’ll be pretty much willing to do anything.

They will ALL skate, and even if a conservative becomes the next president, a new administration will let them skate as well. The only justice these evil scum bags will ever face, is in the hereafter.

No sale. This woman is a criminal, and many experienced D.C. politicians are lawyers. They also could have crucified her in the media, if they REALLY wanted to flush her out. This is pure cowardice by our party, and that’s all it is.

Probably a stack of (p)residential pardons set aside with “fill in the blanks” for persons and dates covered.

Well, that would not surprise me either, but if they are not pardoned, new administrations tend to leave them alone, as long as new rat administrations leave theirs alone too. It would be interesting to see if a new rat administration did not follow that. How would the gutless old party respond to that?

“Lois Lerner,” “Hillary Clinton,” and “gets off” in the same sentence is just wrong.....
