He'll prosecute her when The Fraud resigns.

 

[Sean Renaud]

I doubt he'll prosecute. He'd a fool to do it.

Tip, vette, never post from breitbart, it ruins your credibility and should even when the story is true. If you see it in breitbart, find the same story covered in a credible media outlet and post that article -- if you can find it; if you can't, the story probably didn't happen the way breitbart says and you should forget about it.

The Fraud being Orange John or "I've Never Met A Fake Scandal I've Not Loved" Darrel?

Knock it off you dunce. They simply publish what your side won't or conspires not publishing.

I was thinking of NYT, WaPo, CNN -- no more my side than yours. Do not confuse the NYT with Mother Jones or The Nation.

Let's see, did MSNBC publish this letter from Issa to Cummings, exposing his staff's conspiracy with the IRS?

I doubt it, since MSNBC is a TV channel, but NYT or WaPo might have, or at least reported on its contents.

Poor Vettebigot desperately wants this to be a scandal.

It's almost certain that Holder will not prosecute his teammate. She might be prosecuted in 2017.

Just a general question for the peanut gallery: What specific crime was supposedly committed?

"She's taking the Fifth, therefore she did something."

I think she's taking the Fifth because whatever she says Darrel Issa will put her in contempt

In the criminal referral letter it will send to Holder, the committee lays out three specific ways Lerner may have violated the law. Based on Lerner's communications and actions, the committee charges that Lerner improperly used her position to influence action against conservative groups like Crossroads GPS while showing leniency toward similar liberal groups like Priorities USA.

The committee also charges that, according to her communications, Lerner knowingly gave misleading statements to the Treasury Department Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), the internal IRS watchdog, when TIGTA was investigating the controversy. Lastly, the committee says in its letter to Holder that Lerner used her personal email address to conduct official business, putting at risk confidential taxpayer information.

It could even be a Dem who believes his or her duties take precedence over political considerations.

What does the UCMJ have to do with any charges that might be filed?

No, that is not possible (nor should be), no matter how the 2014 midterm elections might go.

 

[KingOrfeo]

Course if Holder decides not to prosecute her, the House itself, with it's powers of "inherent contempt" can have the House Sergeant at Arms arrest Lerner and hold her until she either testifies, satisfies the subpoena, or until the next Congress is seated, and they can renew if necessary. It's all quite legal. See Jurney v. MacCracken.

But they won't nor should and you know it.

Would the Statute of Limitations have expired in three years?

She testified at the hearing, effectively waiving her Fifth Amendment rights.

She was referred to criminal prosecution for three things. That was not one of them.

You're right. The Dems will only accuse them of waging more War on Women. The GOP will fold like a tent.
