Yet you can't name a single conservative group that was EVER prosecuted by Lois Lerner's group at the IRS...can you, Joey? How is that possible? Why wasn't Rove brought up on tax fraud charges?
It wasn't her job to prosecute them. It was her job to determine if they qualified for a tax exemption under a Social Welfare Agency where they didn't have to report who their donors were.
They could have registered as Political Action Committees and told everyone who their donors were, and there wouldn't have been an issue.
So why are you for pumping money into politics without disclosing donors?
You accused them of tax fraud, Joe. Who was it that was guilty of that? Name some names.
Lerner's job SHOULD have been to been to follow the law. The reason that she took the 5th was that she knowingly broke the law. A small group of people in the IRS and the Justice Department decided that the Supreme Court Citizen's United decision was a bad one and that THEY would prevent conservative groups from attaining tax free status and that THEY would leak confidential tax information.
Members of congress had already said that someone was going to jail over the 'scandal', this before an investigation had even been conducted. When sentencing was already being determined before there was an investigation, trial or conviction, Lerner had ample justification for keeping her mouth shut.
When you've already determined the sentence before the investigation, clearly whether or not a crime had been committed is irrelevant.
