What’s the “statute of limitations”? Perhaps the next president can reverse this.

Can any other agency bring charges? How about impeachment proceedings by Congress?

And the federal government in general, and DOJ in particular, actually expect people to have faith in them?

Justice apparently is not blind.

Now groups like True the Vote in Houston should sue Lerner for civil damages because their group was harmed by not being able to participate in the 2012 election because of her vindictive actions against them,

I keep saying.... somehow our side needs to start filing charges in conservative state courts with friendly prosecutors and a friendly judge. It is clear that obammy is not going to prosecute any of his helpers. We have to move these to a state court.
