looks like 2 qualifiers ( or maybe just 1 with a what & a how) involved. Have they been done ?

1.
and the fact of such failure or failures is reported to either House while Congress is in session or when Congress is not in session,

2.
a statement of fact constituting such failure is reported to and filed with the President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House

I wonder if she would be receiving prosecutorial discretion had been in a Republican controlled state government position.

Another reason why Ted Cruz would be a great attorney general with Trump as Potus and Palin as VP.

Cruz with his legal knowledge and his zero tolerance to rats who abuse our legal system would drive the privileged rats/GOPe into terminal depression.

See my tagline.

“....... important is because it’s cropping up more and more in certain high profile cases inside the Obama administration.”.........

They want to get used to this term so that when odumbo’s turn comes around they can use it.

Who in this country is REALLY above the law? The laws have been written and put in place so that WHOMEVER breaks that law should be charged. If those two women were republicans their asses would be in jail already, no exceptions. Charge them ASAP and let the courts decide, not some hack lawyer who was “appointed” and not voted into office.

Lynch has done us the favor of giving her definition of “prosecutorial discretion”:
Political corruption.

And, of course, a clue as to her decision in the hillary treason case.

We now have a female version of Eric Holder at the DOJ.

Lois will need a Presidential pardon, or she will be prosecuted by the next administration.

This question needs to be asked of every presidential candidate. "Will you prosecute Lois Lerner, and Eric Holder, and every other member of the Executive Department who have obviously chosen to use "memory lapses" to lie to or to ignore the legitimate powers of Congress?

The Constitution defines treason in Article 3, Section 3, Clause 1: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

Check out the entire thing :

Impeachment, High Crimes, Treason

No pardon is possible as a "preemptive crime"

If she hasn't been indicted and found guilty, no pardon can apply. Blanket pardons, as far as I have learned, cannot Constitutionally exist.

The only remaining question is, what is the statute of limitations for Treason or "Abuse of Power," as impeachable offenses?

Obozo has no choice. I believe if he allows her to go down she will take him down with her.

Obozo has NO choice. He has to cover her to cover his own a$$.

I knew that from the first time I saw her. No need to ask what made it obvious.

Of course, her actions have confirmed that first impression with no room for doubt.
