WOWSA! Here's more of the story: IRS’s Lois Lerner Tried To Audit GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley Over Email Mix-up

.........."Lerner mistakenly received an email invitation to speak at an event in December 2012 meant for Grassley, who presumably received Lerner’s.

The invitation from the organizer reportedly included an offer to pay for the attendance of Grassley’s wife, should the two be interested in coming. Upon reading Grassley’s invitation mistakenly sent to her, the IRS official accused of unjustifiably targeting conservative tea party organizations’ tax exempt status forwarded the email to another IRS employee, and suggested auditing the Iowa senator.

Lerner speculated it was “inappropriate” for the organizer to pay for Grassley’s wife to attend.

Legal counsel for the IRS’s Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division Matthew Giuliano shot down Lerner’s suggestion, and said an audit would be an unqualified action.

“I think the offer to pay for Grassley’s wife is income to Grassley, and not prohibited on its face,” Giuliano wrote back.".....................

Nothing will happen. Nothing. Nothing EVER happens
to these people. No matter the crime, no matter
the scandal. They skate.

I would think that Chuck Grassley could have Lerner arrested. He can also sue her.

Actually, receiving a promo for a political event from someone you normally would never support is not uncommon. The crime is what Lerner did after she got the invitation.

This is important: Look how freely and recklessly Lerner suggests an audit. An audit should be considered only after clear evidence exists of cheating on taxes or hiding income, or of a strong possibility that those have been happening. In any case, an audit should be based on Grassley’s BEHAVIOR, not on an offer made to him by by some organization. Lerner didn’t even wait for Grassley to respond. She wanted to audit him right away - because he was a Republican.

Correct. Which probably means there are a number of people in the IRS who may be annoyed by her, and have plenty of other stories to tell, and plenty of emails. Congressman Issa has subpoenaed every email and letter to or from Lerner going back to her work in other agencies from 1989 onward.

her first reaction is not to laugh about the mix-up but to try to hurt him. This is the very definition of abuse of power.
Just throwing another straw on the back of the camel known as the IRS..

In the Obamacare bill it is clearly spelled out that your medical records are the property of the Government so of course Congress can look at them.
