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.

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?
