Lerner and Holder headed to Leavenworth?

Obama Justice Department Was Involved In IRS Targeting, Lerner Emails Reveal

Sadly, the 18 month investigation into the IRS targeting of conservative groups isn’t over, and it may be worse than anyone thought. A federal judge has broken loose more emails that the DOJ had surely hoped would never surface. The picture it reveals isn’t pretty. The documents prove that Lois Lerner met with DOJ’s Election Crimes Division a month before the 2010 elections.

It has to be embarrassing to the DOJ, which may not be the most impartial one to be investigating the IRS. In fact, the DOJ withheld over 800 pages of Lerner documents citing “taxpayer privacy” and “deliberative privilege.” Yet these internal DOJ documents show Ms. Lerner was talking to DOJ officials about prosecuting tax-exempt entities (yes, criminally!) two years before the IRS conceded there was inappropriate targeting.

Ms. Lerner met with top officials from the DOJ’s Election Crimes Branch in October of 2010. Although Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the DOJ (Judicial Watch v. Department of Justice, No. 14-cv-01239), the DOJ coughed up dirt only on court order. Even then, the DOJ handed over only two pages of heavily redacted emails.

Remember "not a smidgen of evidence"?

What’s more, the DOJ withheld 832 pages in their entirety. They revealed that Mr. Obama’s DOJ called an October 8, 2010 meeting with the IRS “concerning 501(c)(4) issues.” On September 30, 2010, the DOJ’s Election Crimes prosecutor emailed Ms. Lerner:

“Hi Lois-It’s been a long time, and you might not remember me, I’ve taken on [REDACTED] duties. I’m looking forward to meeting you, Can we chat in advance? I’m a [REDACTED]”

Ms. Lerner responded on October 2, 2010:

“Sure-that’s a good Idea [sic]. I have a meeting out of the office Monday morning, but will try you when I get back sometime early afternoon. You can try me at 202 283-8848.”

Documents from a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the IRS show that Ms. Lerner asked the DOJ whether tax-exempt entities could be criminally prosecuted. This May 8, 2013 email by Ms. Lerner went to Nikole C. Flax, Chief of Staff to Acting IRS Commissioner Steven T. Miller, who would later be fired by President Obama:

“I got a call today from Richard Pilger Director Elections Crimes Branch at DOJ … He wanted to know who at IRS the DOJ folk s [sic] could talk to about Sen. Whitehouse idea at the hearing that DOJ could piece together false statement cases about applicants who “lied” on their 1024s–saying they weren’t planning on doing political activity, and then turning around and making large visible political expenditures. DOJ is feeling like it needs to respond, but want to talk to the right folks at IRS to see whether there are impediments from our side and what, if any damage this might do to IRS programs. I told him that sounded like we might need several folks from IRS…”

DOJ’s Mr. Pilger admitted that DOJ officials met Ms. Lerner in October 2010. Moreover, according to congressional investigators, a Lerner email from October 5, 2010 shows the IRS sent the FBI and DOJ a “1.1 million page database of information from 501(c)(4) tax exempt organizations” that contained confidential taxpayer information.

In her May 2013 answer to a planted question about the alleged targeting of Tea Party and conservative groups, Ms. Lerner suggested that the alleged targeting occurred due to an “uptick” in 501 (c)(4) applications to the IRS. In reality, there was a decrease, and as for targeting (what targeting?), well, you know the rest.

Remember those rogue IRS employees in Cincinnati? They were confused. And while all Americans should be concerned, Judicial Watch sounds fit to be tied.

It can't get any worse than was initially thought.

And that is because the instant that 'it' was made known to the public, 'it' was recognized as a Top-Down abuse of power by the Chief Executive, in this case OKA: The Peasantpimp of the Union States, took action to illicitly use the power of his office to usurp the means of citizens of the United States to speak freely and to peaceably assemble... in their quest to form an effective political opposition to the cult that elected a non-natural born citizen, who was a proponent of the advocacy of Foreign Ideas Hostile to American Principle.

There is no 'greater' crime that a Chief Executive can commit. There are equally severe crimes, but no greater crime than the abuse of the public trust on which one's power rest.

I think she'll look lovely in orange don't you?

Barry the Fairy was FURIOUS the GOP could match the kind of fund raising he was getting from Middle East bundling, which is illegal but never enforced. Remember him shaking his finger at the Supremes during his SOU address? That moment was when this criminal conspiracy was hatched.

She'll rat out your halfrican heroes, Cero.....let's see how funny you think that is.

Now on the other hand think of how this bird called Lerner could sing........

"Lerner and Holder headed to Leavenworth?"

Only after Bush and Cheney.

I don't think she's even been charged with anything yet.
The O/P is linking to a blog, not a news item. Poor BullPutz doesn't know the difference.

And given that no conservative group was denied a 501(4)(c) status, I doubt there will be any charges filed, either. The only group denied was a progressive group of Democrats.

She's not going to do hard time to protect Holder and Holder sure ain't going to prison to save Barry's smelly ass. Wait until the House committee calls her back again now that we have the emails......it's gonna be a BLAST to watch her flip on them....that's when the obstruction charges will have them all ratting each other out.

"Lerner and Holder headed to Leavenworth?"

Yeah... of course 7 years after Bush and Cheney retired, there's still not a scintilla of evidence that they committed so much as a single crime.

So, while anything is possible, the abundance of evidence for the litany of crimes that Holder and Lerner; all of which is intrinsically tethered to the Peasantpimp of the Union States, have committed, grows with each passing day.

Cons will conveniently forget about this on November 9, 2016.

Take your lies someplace else, shitbird or I'll rat you out for trolling.

Yes, that's a little technicality most on the right have a problem with – there must be actual, documented evidence of a crime first before one is sent to prison.

Yeah that meme has been exploded repeatedly. Only the stupd believe it.
Yes, the Obama White House deliberately targeted conservative groups for special treatment by the bureaucracy in the wakr of Citizens United becaise they were scared to death of the coming presidential election.
Dig further and we'll discover they used secret NSA materials as well.

Bullshit....all that needs to be proved is that there was a conspiracy with intent to deny Tea Party groups their First Amendment rights.....that's what they all swore to defend when they put their hand on the Bible.

There hasn't even been an investigation yet... merely a few congressional hearings. To have an investigation the Attorney General needs to assemble such and that won't be done until Americans are again sitting in the Executive Branch. And given that the criminal IS the Attorney General, we're dealing with High Crimes... so, such requires alternative processes designed specifically to deal with precisely this exact problem.
