The Justice Department will not seek criminal charges against former IRS official Lois Lerner for her role in targeting conservative non-profits groups, CNN is reporting.
The investigation into Lerner’s and the IRS’ handling of conservative groups’ tax-exempt applications uncovered substantial mismanagement and poor judgment, but none of it rose to the criminal level, according to the letter, which Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik sent to members of Congress on Friday.
“Substantial evidence of mismanagement, poor judgment and institutional inertia leading to the belief by many tax-exempt applicants that the IRS targeted them based on their political viewpoints. But poor management is not a crime,” the letter reads, according to CNN.

===============================================
BACKSTORY The 1980 Georgia General Assembly was concerned about “the increasing sophistication of various criminal elements on the public payroll” (and those in elective and appointive office). The GA Assembly then adopted the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), patterned after a similar federal law.
(RICO is routinely used to try to prove that a legal business was being used for illegal means, and, in at its inception, RICO was used to prosecute drug traffickers or organized crime members).
In recent years prosecutors have applied RICO to crooked government officials: (1) those accused of using their public offices for personal gain, and, (2) tax-paid officials of govt agencies using public monies to flout the law.
To bring a case under Georgia’s RICO law, there must be at least two underlying felonies — such as fraud, bribery, witness tampering (among other felonies).
RICO allows prosecutors to include multiple defendants charged with various crimes in the blanket indictment, and to charge that govt employees, publicy-funded and publicly-sanctioned entities were allegedly part of an ongoing criminal enterprise.
EXAMPLE A govt official commits two felonies by (1) accepting, and, (2) filing falsified documents.
==============================================
HERE'S THE PATHWAY TO LAUNCH---Texas took the lead w/ 26 state AG's, successfully arguing that Obama's beatified DACA/DAPA's were made more desirable employees than US citizens.
==============================================
Any public official using tax dollars to flout that law is a lawbreaker: in cases where govt officials on the public payroll not giving public notice is a violation at the federal level of the 1946 Administrative Procedure Act, which requires notice in the Federal Register. Laws demand that taxpayers have the opportunity to submit views in writing.
===============================================
NOTE If proof is established that RICO'ed criminal public officials impaired the commercial and economic activity of the region, that could also be prosecutable under the Hobbs Act.
UPDATE: Georgia tried, convicted and jailed 27 school personnel under this law.

PRIME RICO TARGETS Boehner and his Congressional buddies are complicit in the massive fraud, waste, and criminal use of tax dollars......the flagrant abuse of taxpayers....and aiding and abetting the criminal activities of Obama. They could have reeled in arrogant govt agencies conducting criminal activities (EPA, IRS, BLM, HUD, DOE and DOL). They could have defunded the criminal enterprise called "Obamacare" and the Planned Parenthood parasites living the high life w/ our tax-dollars....but to taxpayers' eternal disgust....they didn't.
What about Lerner's emails, exhorting the agency to pursue the conservative organizations?
By the government's own "affirmative action" standards, the mere statistical discrepancy in targeting leftist vs. conservative organizations is evidence of a crime.
“We also found no evidence that any official involved in the handling of tax-exempt applications or IRS leadership attempted to obstruct justice,” he added.
Oh, and all those "hard drive failures" were just coincidental?
If the Justice Dept. were fair at all, the FBI would have sweated every one of the agents involved, and gave them the usual pitch:
"The first one to talk gets a deal. The rest of you will go to jail."
Does this mean she didn’t do anything wrong? That what she did was okay? That it’s okay for the pubbies to do if they ever return to office?
Guess we didn’t get the memo. Apparently it don’t work like that anymore. Don’t want to diminish anyone feelings of self esteem.
Silly. Pubbies don’t get those kind of passes. Only LPOS/UPOS/IPOS/SPOS get that ‘special’ treatment. You, me? Slammer time.
And these bastards wonder why our blood boils.
This is your typical Friday afternoon news release. It received exactly one inch of space on page 7 of the Tampa Bay Times.
Wanna bet her retirement is way better than mine? Just couldn’t bring myself to be a lyin’, cheatin’, scumbag.
I was listening to the great one. I heard him saying about rising up. Between hitlary lying, This bitch targeting and the other bitch cutting the military and now refusing to fund it I think it’s time for someone to call in Mark’s show and announce that due to all of this “I WILL NOT PAY MY TAXES!” and start the revolution.
I’m just dumb enough to do it.
Department of Justice - now there is an oxymoron
This should not be handled by the Obama injustice department.
Wrong spelling, it’s Just Us Department.
Does anyone still think that there is a chance in hell that Hillary will ever be prosecuted?
What justice department? You mean that corrupt bunch of criminals that dispense justice in America. That bunch?
