Insisting Lois G. Lerner is still a target, congressional Republicans sent a letter to new Attorney General Loretta Lynch Thursday asking her to follow through on their official request last year for a criminal investigation into Ms. Lerner’s behavior at the IRS.
Led by Rep. Paul Ryan, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, the Republicans said it’s been more than a year and the Justice Department has yet to respond to the referral the committee approved on April 9, 2014, listing three areas where lawmakers believe Ms. Lerner may have broken the law.
“The committee continues to believe that these serious charges should be pursued by the Department of Justice,” Mr. Ryan and his fellow lawmakers said in their letter.
They said Ms. Lerner used her position as a senior executive overseeing tax-exempt groups’ applications to improperly target conservatives for intrusive scrutiny; impeded an official investigation by misleading the inspector general; and may have disclosed confidential taxpayer information by using her private email to conduct official IRS business.

Death penalty for high crimes against the Republic

By and large, politicians and thier minions are a protected class. It is rare for them to turn one of their own in.
Nothing will happen after the next election either.
Turns out, Republican Senators like McCain (and probably House Republicans too) were also supporting the persecution of conservative groups by the IRS.
I believe we will learn the same thing about Benghazi, that Republican Congressmen were in on whatever happened and they have no intention of uncovering the truth from Hillary.
We'll see. He's a long way away from jail.
It’s called oversight nullification, Liberal DA’s refuse to prosecute rioters, the DOJ refuses to enforce many laws fro immigration to the IRS. We are a country not of laws, but of the lawless.
Hastert’s crime as far as DC is concerned is one of convenience. It gets Hillary! out of the news cycle or if not Hillary! some other scandal. DC has a slew of potential indictments available at any time and they are used depending on need. Hastert was picked because he’s an ex-Speaker, sex criminal and Republican. Capisce?
Elijah Cummings ping.
