BREAKING: House GOP to File Criminal Charges Against Lois Lerner in IRS Scandal (VIDEO)
Gateway Pundit ^ | April 13, 2017 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 04/13/2017 3:22:30 PM PDT by prairiebreeze

Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL) went on with Stewart Varney on Thursday morning to discuss recent developments on Capitol Hill.

Roskam told Stewart House Republicans are planning of filing criminal charges against Lois Lerner.

Rep. Roskam: The Obama Administration was very lenient with the crimes that Lois Lerner committed. And those are strong words that I’m using but the House Ways and Means Committee voted out a criminal referral to the Department of Justice which was completely dismissed by the Department of Justice… We think that Lois Lerner did two things wrong. Number one, she denied people due process and equal protection of the law based on their political philosophy. We’re convinced that there is overwhelming evidence to suggest that that’s true. And that’s a felony. Secondly, we suspect that she lied to the Inspecter General of the Treasury Department.

“House GOP to File Criminal Charges Against Lois Lerner in IRS Scandal”

Sorry, but there is a huge legal error in this headline.

With exception of Contempt charges, which is not what is being discussed here, Legislative arms, (In this case the House) or even less, a set of its members belonging to one political party, do not and can not file criminal charges.

They may ask the DOJ to take the matter before a grand jury, but neither the House nor one political party’s members can file criminal charges.

DOJ is in a perfect position to unmask (?) everybody involved in this weaponizing of the IRS, all the way up to Obama, Holder, Lerner and the rest.

Do it.

After her conviction, she should be forced to serve her time at Gitmo. Obama released many of the original house guests there, so there should be plenty of room in the facility to house somebody who betrayed the public trust.

I hear that. Mine did, a little.

Then I saw the link was to Jim Hoft, and it turned to deflate-gate, like a whoopee-cushion

Pleading the 5th doesn’t negate evidence - of course we need to remember that there “ain’t even a smidgen of evidence”......Obama told us so....

“Catnipman, I have had my other post to you...if you read it...removed as it was not appropriate for me to say. I apologize.”

don’t worry about it. people sometimes get upset here in the moment. As you may have noticed, I pretty much ignore flame-type blow back.

but it’s nice that you are so thoughtful.

A crack team has located a loose hard drive in the server and results should come up shortly. Keep Lois busy. .
