Lerner cleared of tea party targeting charges
Wash Times ^ | Sep 10, 2017

Posted on 09/11/2017 10:00:56 AM PDT by upchuck

The Trump Justice Department has once again cleared former IRS senior executive Lois G. Lerner of criminal liability stemming from the tea party targeting.

In a letter to top Republicans, Assistant Attorney General Stephen E. Boyd said they re-reviewed the case and concluded there isn’t enough evidence to charge Ms. Lerner, who was at the center of the targeting. Mr. Boyd said the new review included lawyers who only recently joined the department and weren’t part of the Obama administration’s earlier decision.

“After this process, the Department determined that reopening the investigation would not be appropriate based on the available evidence,” Mr. Boyd said.

He said if new information comes to light, the decision could be revisited.

Republicans on Capitol Hill called the decision “terrible.”

You guys are all like ‘Pickett’s Last Charge’ thinking with your emotions and not your brains. The real enemies behind Lerner are Mueller and Koskinen. Let Lerner slide and take out Koskinen. Mueller will fold in due time or be dismissed.

May I remind you that we have the corrupt traitor Mueller because of Jeff Feckless.. And as for this incestuous drug deal you are espousing, even if true it just makes me ill. Disgusted. And quite frankly, who shouldn't be?

obama did that and no doubt using it today.. he also did a job on citizens... he also had the irs threaten citizens and used it to stop conservatives.

You think they’d let Trump do likewise? They’d have impeachment up again.

Yes. I remember her smug little Lib face, ‘testifying’ while not under oath that she HAD DONE NO WRONG. What a lying pig.

Yep, well aware that Sessions wrongful recusal allowed Rosenstein to let the creep Mueller in the back door.

But now Mueller is there as the point man for the democrats and NeverTrumpers, and he wants to use Koskinen to hang the President on some twisted tax charge.

So it is entirely reasonable that if there is a witness to Koskinen’s dirty deeds, that witness can negotiate a drop of any pending charges in exchange for testimony.

Koskinen must be neutralized if not hung out to dry.

Trump is in charge. Source is intermediary to Member of Congress. I don’t want to name yet until further confirmations are made. Source is accurate more than 90% of the time.

Understand that Trump is a student of history and of wars. His heroes, among many, are Generals Patton and MacArthur. Both Generals waged asynchronous warfare. MacArthur’s approaches were more often than not, counterintuitive.

I can see Donald Trump is counterintuitive in his tactics and strategy. He’s playing to win, not to garner emotional points with supporters.

Bannon said Trump made a big mistake by not firing all the holdovers from the Obama Administration. I tended to agree but after some thinking, Trump’s approach may be best, to show an olive branch and let enemies attack after first being offered peace. Trump never attacks first.

When I heard the news of Lerner being cleared, I was as mad if not madder than any poster on FR. But that’s an emotional reaction. Need to use brains, not emotions.

Let’s see how this develops.

Lawsuits are good if you can get any immunity deal with her nullified and her governmental position immunity rescinded, retroactively.

Lerner is a political whore and Kosiken is corrupt as hell and incompetent. Fire him for incompetency and then do a full audit of his time in office. That should bring up a few snakes from the pit.

Listen, I understand the strategy.

I know where Mueller is trying to go in order to hang the President.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/exclusive-mueller-enlists-the-irs-for-his-trump-russia-investigation

But this strategy of letting Lerner off the hook won't work. There will be another former Obama official, a Deep State traitor, or some other miscreant to take Koskinen's place. Mueller probably has a list of cooperating Obama IRS officials a mile long. Taking out Koskinen will not do one damn thing to stop Mueller's witch hunt. You can't play wack-a-mole on this scale and expect to win. The Deep State is deep and evil.

From that article above:

Potential financial crimes are a central part of Mueller’s probe. One of his top deputies, Andy Weissmann, formerly helmed the Justice Department’s Enron probe and has extensive experience working with investigative agents from the IRS.

I am well familiar with Andy Weissmann. Trust me on this. I know how evil he is. Not only is he completely unethical (so unethical that even the Supreme Court took "relish" in handing him his teeth), he is also a homosexual pervert.

Louis Lerner is so guilty even the Democrats and the media cannot hide it. Think about the people who were put through the financial, personal, and emotional ringer by her IRS? Talk about "pain and suffering."

Sessions is a double coward. First he allows Trump to persecuted through Mueller, and then he allows this evil b^tch to walk away scot-free from her crimes.

You can construct this little house of cards strategy all you want. It is a miscarriage of justice, and it won't do anything to stop the evil forces persecuting the President and his family. You know it, and I know it.

Koskinen will not cause any trouble now that he knows the Trump people own him. He will be left in place with a Sword of Damocles dangling above him.

Circular logic.

There's not enough evidence, so we'll not look to see if there's any evidence.

How do I get a deal like that?
