BREAKING: House GOP to File Criminal Charges Against Lois Lerner in IRS Scandal (VIDEO)
Gateway Pundit ^ | April 13, 2017 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 04/13/2017 3:22:30 PM PDT by prairiebreeze

Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL) went on with Stewart Varney on Thursday morning to discuss recent developments on Capitol Hill.

Roskam told Stewart House Republicans are planning of filing criminal charges against Lois Lerner.

Rep. Roskam: The Obama Administration was very lenient with the crimes that Lois Lerner committed. And those are strong words that I’m using but the House Ways and Means Committee voted out a criminal referral to the Department of Justice which was completely dismissed by the Department of Justice… We think that Lois Lerner did two things wrong. Number one, she denied people due process and equal protection of the law based on their political philosophy. We’re convinced that there is overwhelming evidence to suggest that that’s true. And that’s a felony. Secondly, we suspect that she lied to the Inspecter General of the Treasury Department.

How many suicides will we soon say. Not saying I want that, but some cannot face the thought of prison.

I know I’d rather not.

"She'll plead the Fifth I'd say, but perhaps they can make charges stick despite that. "

Maybe, when this is over, "She'll plead be drinking the Fifth..."

Since the Fed just prints money whenever they wish, they don’t really need our income tax revenue.

I think the IRS is more of a power tool, instilling fear into citizens.

It should be abolished, but few politicians have the “liberty” to do so.

Headline is crap. No one in Congress “files charges” they have to request that the DOJ charge someone. That is what is being done, apparently. AG Sessions or one of his subordinates must make the decision to charge her. I sure hope they will do so, of course, but a Congressional request is just a request, no matter how strongly worded.

That said, Burn the Witch!!!!

‘”was completely dismissed by the Department of Justice…”

Lynch and others should be called out too. Disgusting politicizing of justice.

I don’t think the House can “file charges” except for impeachment. They can refer it to the DOJ to file charges. Futile under Obama, not so much now.
