Many of those that got bogus IRS investigations for the crime of not being cultural Marxist also got goons stomping in from FBI, BATF and other fed thug outfits.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t make any difference because nobody will do anything about it.

No one is going to “get her.”

All the more reason to protect the Second Amendment. This administration is basically evil.

So it looks like Lerner broke the law -- again. But will she be punished? Not likely. President Obama's Justice Department already passed on prosecuting Lerner in 2015, despite strong evidence of criminal wrongdoing.

Laws exist to punish your political opponents.
