Linky only.
Outrageous but not unexpected that Holder's Justice Dept. would continue to protect the regime from what we all know is political payback against conservative groups.
And why not?
Because they’re on the same team.
This will answer the question about what Boehner’s Congress will do about Hillary’s crimes.
In all fairness, they are very busy right now going after DemocRATS who won’t stand in line and kiss the Kenyan’s @$$. Never speak badly of the messiah.
This is news. Pftt we already figured....

Hey now. If they won’t bring charges against this low level, low life, do you think there is ANY possibility they’d bring charges against the hildebeast? Short answer, NO. :>{
Could the next DOJ go after her?
Everyone knew that.
There was a law created after RFK was JFK’s Attorney General, that the AG could not be a family member......so that there would be no suggestion of impropriety. This inJustice Dept doesn’t care what people think, they will not prosecute anyone that is implementing their Progressive agenda. THERE IS NO JUSTICE DEPT OPERATING IN THE USA TODAY. It is just crony ‘justice’. We protect ours and will do everything to destroy our ‘enemies’ (the other side of the aisle).
What if Congress as a whole holds her in contempt? Not just a Committee?
She is one of them.
Can the People HOLD HER IN CONTEMPT? Surely, her neighbors do.
Send her to the people’s court. We can bring justice.
The House can hold her in contempt via Inherent Contempt!
From Wikipedia:
Inherent Contempt
Under this process, the procedure for holding a person in contempt involves only the chamber concerned. Following a contempt citation, the person cited is arrested by the Sergeant-at-Arms for the House or Senate, brought to the floor of the chamber, held to answer charges by the presiding officer, and then subjected to punishment as the chamber may dictate (usually imprisonment for punishment reasons, imprisonment for coercive effect, or release from the contempt citation).
Concerned with the time-consuming nature of a contempt proceeding and the inability to extend punishment further than the session of the Congress concerned (under Supreme Court rulings), Congress created a statutory process in 1857. While Congress retains its "inherent contempt" authority and may exercise it at any time, this inherent contempt process was last used by the Senate in 1934, in a Senate investigation of airlines and the U.S. Postmaster. After a one-week trial on the Senate floor (presided over by the Vice-President of the United States, acting as Senate President), William P. MacCracken, Jr., a lawyer and former Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aeronautics who had allowed clients to rip up subpoenaed documents, was found guilty and sentenced to 10 days imprisonment.
MacCracken filed a petition of habeas corpus in federal courts to overturn his arrest, but after litigation, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Congress had acted constitutionally, and denied the petition in the case Jurney v. MacCracken. Presidential pardons appear not to apply to a civil contempt procedure such as the above, since it is not an "offense against the United States" or against "the dignity of public authority."
Do the Republicans have the guts, spine or the testosterone to do this?
Answer: None of the above
The reason the DOJ is not prosecuting Lerner is because there are emails linking her to the DOJ offices.
The attorney for some of the people who were harmed by Lois Lerner and her minions, was on FOX this morning and stated that the DOJ was involved with the targeting, and that’s why the DOJ doesn’t want to open that hornets nest.
