(CNSNews.com) - The House Ways and Means Committee voted 23 to 14 today to refer former IRS official Lois Lerner to Attorney General Eric Holder for possible criminal prosecution.
In a contentious open-to-the-public hearing that lasted only few minutes, the House Ways and Means Committee voted this morning to immediately go into a closed session to discuss a letter proposed by the committee’s majority to refer former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner to the Justice Department for possible criminal prosecution.
When Ranking Member Sander Levin (D.-Mich.), seeking to make a point of order, repeatedly interrupted Chairman Dave Camp’s (R.-Mich.) attempt to start a roll-call vote intended to take the committee into closed session, Camp told him: “Just chill out. What is the gentleman’s point of order?”

A GOP senate next yr can increase the pressure on Holder. And this can spill into a future GOP administration unless Obama pardons her

It’s all theater.
Agreed. The odds are very low that Lois Lerner actually has a stainless steel toilet in her future although she deserves one for twenty years.

Good, but the current corrupt ‘justice’ department will see to it that she pays no penalty. The corrupt democrat party will make sure she gets a high paying low effort job.

Why aren’t they DEMANDING an independent prosecutor for this obvious criminal operative?
28 U.S. Code § 592 - Preliminary investigation and application for appointment of an independent counsel
a) Conduct of Preliminary Investigation.—
(1) In general.— A preliminary investigation conducted under this chapter shall be of such matters as the Attorney General considers appropriate in order to make a determination, under subsection (b) or (c), on whether further investigation is warranted, with respect to each potential violation, or allegation of a violation, of criminal law. The Attorney General shall make such determination not later than 90 days after the preliminary investigation is commenced, except that, in the case of a preliminary investigation commenced after a congressional request under subsection (g), the Attorney General shall make such determination not later than 90 days after the request is received. The Attorney General shall promptly notify the division of the court specified in section 593(a) of the commencement of such preliminary investigation and the date of such commencement.

The attorney general is subject to impeachment by the House of Representatives and trial in the Senate for “treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors.”
