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.”

The Swamp Wins Again
For now.
Law only applies to the schmucks.
This is a classic leftist response, the same one they use with vote fraud:
We can’t investigate because there isn’t enough evidence.
Why isn’t there evidence? Because we have not investigated.
Two parallel systems of law.
The game is rigged.
At first, this appears beyond outrageous. But ...
But there is chatter that the President struck a deal with Lerner to get the goods on IRS Commissioner John Koskinen so that he can sack him.
I suggest keeping a lookout for confirmation of such a deal.
Flush this turd.
The inJustice Department transitioned seemlessly, from the most corrupt administration in our nation’s history.
This is a massive problem, that continues to get worse.
Total corruption.
Was the Congress pushed on ObamaCARE as promised?
Was ObamaCARE repealed as promised.
Lerner and McCAin began the T Party targeting.
Are both now free to continue helping ISIS and
Islamic terrorists, as they have FOR YEARS?
Bullsheet.
Why the hell was she given immunity? Why did she then dodge testifying under immunity? Why was she not locked up for refusing to testify under said immunity?
This is gnawing at me worse now than it has all these years since.
Some of the posts on this thread are laughable.
Nothing was done by Trump’s justice dept. Nothing will be done.
He needs no blockbuster charges to fire the IRS Commissioner.
Didn’t need any to fire Comey.
I like a lot of what Trump is doing.
Will call it out when it’s business as usual.
Of course there isn’t any evidence. The swamp has been purging and sanitizing it for 3 years.
OK, now that the criminal phase has been covered up, it’s time for the offended parties to launch massive suits against her so we can at least get some discovery going and have the wench under oath.
Makes ya wonder whatever happened to Hurricane Trump, No?
In a cesspool of corruption and deceit and lies,, only a domestic group of peace loving and flag waving patriots deserves to be singled out for special treatment.. and Trump and the DoJ play on.. FORE!!!
Consider this...... Some one ordered her to act as she did
Ha. Dream on. It’s the Swamp, protecting their own.
Meanwhile, that worthless piece of dog-turd Mueller continues to waste taxpayer money on his witch-hunt.
Th second book of rules.
I suggest keeping a lookout for confirmation of such a deal.
Say what?
Why didn't Trump ask for Koskinen's resignation on Jan 20, 2017, 12:01PM?
Trump did not need "the goods" to get rid of this POS.
