I want Lerner and Koskinen prosecuted. Nothing less will do. Hell, Lerner has already been given immunity to make her testify, then they didn’t make her. I’m still on boil over that. I’ll never understand it.

Yes, get rid of it, and put the jerks that work there out on the street and let them find a job, no severance pay, no retirement. I’m so sick of government employees in general.
