DOJ won’t press contempt charges against Lois Lerner

The Department of Justice has decided it’s not going to press contempt charges against Lois Lerner.
Big shock, right?
From CBS News:

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia will not seek contempt charges against former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner for her refusal to testify before Congress, the Justice Department (DOJ) announced Wednesday.
It has been nearly a year since the House voted to hold Lerner in contempt in a mostly party-line vote. At the time, the charges were referred to the local U.S. attorney. The Justice Department officially informed House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, of U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen’s decision in a letter sent to Boehner’s office Tuesday.
“A team of experienced career prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office was assigned to carefully assess the referral. After extensive analysis, the team concluded that the House Committee followed proper procedures in notifying Ms. Lerner that it had rejected her claim of a Fifth Amendment privilege and gave her an adequate opportunity to answer the Committee’s questions,” the Justice Department said in a statement. “However, the team also concluded that Ms. Lerner did not waive her Fifth Amendment privilege by making general claims of innocence. The Constitution would provide Ms. Lerner with an absolute defense if she were prosecuted for contempt.”

In other words, she did her duty for the Obama administration by targeting conservatives who opposed the president, so her reward is a get out of jail free card.
This is, without a shadow of a doubt, the most corrupt administration to ever sit in the White House.
There’s a message the federal government is sending out by not pursuing charges against Lerner, and it’s that your First Amendment right to voice your political opinions doesn’t matter.
You need to be a good little lap dog and get with the program, or there will be consequences.
Those hired to do the president’s dirty work are obviously protected, which means the egregious violations the administration carries out will likely go unpunished.
I don’t know about you, but I’m totally ready for some fresh blood in the White House.

How do we get rid of crooks in politics?

[thunderbolt427]

We start the process to get rid of crooks and those with only self serving interests, by passing one term limit for all- President, Senate and House.  Give them all 1 six year term and no retirement benefits.  When they are finished with their term, they can go back to their regular job and source of income.  We must have a fundamental change in our leadership!!
