Ways and Means Committee Refers Lois Lerner to Department of Justice for Criminal Prosecution
Letter details actions taken by Lerner to deprive groups of their rights, impede the investigation
Washington, DC – Today, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) announced that the Committee, acting under its authority granted in Sec. 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code, voted out a criminal referral letter to Department of Justice (DOJ) Attorney General Eric Holder regarding actions taken by IRS employee Lois Lerner. Chairman Camp, in sending the letter on behalf of the Committee, urged Holder to take a serious review of the evidence uncovered through the Committee’s investigation to determine whether Lerner violated criminal statutes.
The Committee uncovered three specific acts undertaken by Lerner that may have violated one or more criminal statutes documented in the letter:
Lerner used her position to improperly influence agency action against only conservative organizations, denying these groups due process and equal protection rights under the law. She showed extreme bias and prejudice towards conservative groups. The letter lays out evidence on how Lerner targeted conservative organization Crossroads GPS as well as other right-leaning groups, while turning a blind eye to similarly-organized liberal groups, like Priorities USA.
Lerner impeded official investigations by providing misleading statements in response to questions from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA).
Lerner risked exposing, and may actually have disclosed, confidential taxpayer information, in apparent violation of Internal Revenue Code section 6103 by using her personal email to conduct official business.
If convicted of these crimes, Lerner could face up to 11 years in prison.
Holder won’t do anything about it.
Maybe if we get the press on it [lol] or a new ag?
If this were a repub admin, the press would be swarming. Does the press not realize they’re seen as complete democrats?
Best bet is a new ag. Can Holder be removed?
O will pardon her if convicted while he is in office
Thought this morning. When my emails are sent addresses are stored in my email site. Wonder if the same happened with LLs. Maybe no email but address to whom they are sent and copies on their computers
