Will the House arrest Lois Lerner? {NO}

The House has held Lois Lerner in contempt, but it won’t use its power to place the former IRS official under arrest, Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said on Sunday.

RE :”If you want to anger a liberal tell them the truth. If you want to anger a conservative lie to them.”

The day before the shutdown ended I posted a vanity here saying that it would end the next day, and exactly what Bohner would do to end it, which he did,(it was rather obvious I thought)

And naturally a brain-dead cultist type here had to tell me that I was being a defeatist by telling the truth, he said it didn't matter if I was right, which I was.

Being wrong seems to be a symbol of loyalty to the drones.

We’ll have far more success through honesty than we will telling ourselves a unicorn will be along shortly to escort us over the rainbow.

Its not giving up, its simply accepting the cards we’re dealt and moving forward and keep applying pressure wherever we can.

Well put.

Boehner is an idiot.

In a penetrating opinion PIECE typical of its author, Andrew McCarthy argues that the House leadership squandered a year bringing Lois Lerner under contempt. He argued that she should have been proffered immunity and forced to testify because it was in the higher interest of the nation to expose the full IRS conspiracy then merely to punish Lois Lerner. He points out that punishment of the individual is outweighed by the national interest.

It now appears that we will have neither. John Boehner's announcement that he will not prosecute Lois Lerner for contempt means that the entire year was in fact wasted. Real conservatives want to know why?

The answer is increasingly clear, John Boehner is opposed to the Tea Party Movement, he feels threatened by it, and he has shown that he is certainly not opposed to it being suppressed. Even as John Boehner dithered, the IRS undertook to codify the very crimes that they are currently being so ineffectually investigated for. Not only has Boehner utterly bungled his responsibility to investigate the IRS scandal, he has actually enabled the Democrats to potentially convert the situation into a green light for further suppression.

There is no excuse for John Boehner having done this, there is no excuse for him having failed to appoint a special committee to investigate the IRS just as there is no excuse for him having failed to appoint a special committee to investigate Benghazi for more than a year.

Too many skeletons in politician’s closets for them to act with integrity.

Why did the House spend the time to vote on a contempt charge if they are not going to hold her to it? What a waste of time!

[MeshugeMikey]

we live in....a world of appearances.

the house adopted an appearance of responsibility...and clearly assume that said appearance is all thats required to fulfill their duties.

[MeshugeMikey]

This particular House...appears to be haunted.....

by fears of precisely what I dont know...yet.

When the Benghazi House of Cards falls its going to UPROOT the Entire Regime.

The TONE of the Nation will change and all the Obama sycophants will be scattered by the four winds

So, what does holding somebody in contempt of congress even mean?

They tell you that you are in contempt and then say, “Have a nice day”? No penalty? Why bother even taking the vote?

[chiefqc]

Not as long as mac daddies ba**les sock puppet bonehead the crying girly man has any say.

Indeed, I am also waiting for the next shoe to drop.

Thank you for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ!

A well reasoned and said BUMP!

Maybe next week “The Hill” will claim that Geithner was not the Co-Mastermind of the IRS Harassment Program that Lois Lerner expedited to perfection.

BTW, why is Boehner silent on why he, PERSONALLY, allowed the IRS to waste $100,000,000,000.00 on new and improved office furniture?

100 BILLION dollars would have hired a lot of VA doctors, Nurses and non-Democrat Hospital Administrators!

Looks like Boehner prefers new furniture made in China, (IMHO), to helping our wounded Military - - - whatta guy!

Should Boehner be investigated for Dereliction of Duty for not controlling the Nation’s purse Strings?
