You have to be kidding. CNN is actually reporting news that does not fit their agenda? I do not believe it, the news or what they are reporting. Remember, I do not own a TV.
Conspiracy to commit fraud, fraud and manslaughter by fraud. I’d up it to conspiracy to commit murder for money, but I think Lois Lerner at the IRS should be held accountable for the loss of evidence in a case pending, and as some in the legal community have illustrated, the evidence is assumed to be adverse. I also think that this should be a precedent for the IRS if that does not happen, making it the rules the IRS is forced to abide by.

Obama has made a statement and issued a hashtag. There is no more problem.
If the government was serious about this issue, the government would already be advising employees to pay back their falsely obtained bonuses. In addition the higher ups who condoned and directed these practices would be fired and prosecuted.
I once worked for a large corporation that took this type of fraudulent behavior by management very seriously. If a VP or senior manager was believed to be falsifying reporting an investigative team from the corporate office would show up at the operating unit unannounced to review the books and interview employees. Within days there would be resignations, new managers in place, and evidence turned over to the federal or state district attorney for prosecution. It didn’t happen often because people understood the consequences of inappropriate behavior.
If the VA problem is widespread, even more reason to clean house quickly and prosecute. There are plenty of capable and ethical private sector managers who could already be put in place to shift the culture and improve performance with a sense of urgency. The absence of decisive action is more evidence nether Congress or the administration cares about rooting out corruption or criminal behavior in the bureaucracy.
