re: Lerner emails to DOJ sought prosecution of tax exempt groups

AL HUNTER, there is a link on the page you linked to where P.J. Media, shows the “ low level ” employees in Cincinnati, unloaded on their Washington superiors in an e-mail obtained via the FOI act by Judicial Watch.
Cindy Thomas wrote Lerner an email directly:
“ Joseph Grant and others who came to Cincinnati last year told the LOW LEVEL WORKERS ( low level workers involved too ?) in Cincinnati that no one would be “thrown under the bus.” Based on articles, Cincinnati wasn't publicly thrown under the bus, INSTEAD IT WAS HIT BY A MACK TRUCK.”
An e-mail from Lerner, now realizing that phones work better than e-mails goes like this.
“ I will be back shortly and will give you a call.”
So, now Cindy Thomas, head of the Cincinnati division, seems to be involved in the crimes against these 501 (c) 4s also, why else would she have had a discussion with Washington ( Grant ) higher ups about being thrown under the bus, unless she ( Thomas ) knew what she was doing was wrong ? HELLO !
As for Rex and his buddies, you are a disgace to this counntry and its laws. When it is a well known fact that up to 49 percent of any groups activity can be political, you don't try and go after anyone on perjury charges unless you are trying to 1. intimidate 2. get ahead of an I.G. criminal investigation.
Now we know that the DOJ was involed and a special prosecuter must be appointed.
Why does it take P.J. Media, Breitbart and simular groups to break these stories ? The main stream media have lost all sense of partiality. DAMN SHAME.

Is there a point in telling us Ms. Lerner was doing her job?
In an email to an aide responding to a request for information from a Washington Post reporter, Lerner admits that she “can’t confirm that there was anyone on the other side of the political spectrum” who had been targeted by the IRS. She then adds that “The one with the names used were only know [sic] because they have been very loud in the press.”
Lerner later acknowledged pursuing prosecutions of these groups would not fit well with the law.

“These new emails show that the day before she broke the news of the IRS scandal, Lois Lerner was talking to a top Obama Justice Department official about whether the DOJ could prosecute the very same organizations that the IRS had already improperly targeted,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement. “The IRS emails show Eric Holder’s Department of Justice is now implicated and conflicted in the IRS scandal. No wonder we had to sue in federal court to get these documents.”
Is Rex now saying that someone else should now do their job and prosecute Lerner?

No one said that. These people are not American citizens. What he meant was there is not a problem with prosecuting American Citizens who break the law.

So as an American citizen he isn't concerned about all law breakers but only particular ones and you apparently want to defend his stand?

Don't see a problem with prosecuting a group that is breaking the law.
Just pathetic!

Wow.
That is incredibly weak.

The implication being that it's okay during a political election campaign cycle to only chase those that oppose the current administration as opposed to using a framework that doesn't violate civil rights through silencing political opposition.
Sounds like they are totally cool with the civil rights violations.

You need to change the batteries in your sarcasm detector.

Put her in jail. Jail her with a same sex liberal revenue collector with rape tendencies. Wrongfully arrest her. Use extreme torture and law enforcement brutally against her.
Then, let her out.
Then, let her out.

Probably going to be taken out of DOJ hands now and given to Special Prosecutor.

Unfortunately, only one man can appoint a Special Prosecutor. And Eric has no such plans, I'm sure.

Can't be done. Only the AG can make the decision to name a special prrosecutor, and he is also the one who names the SP, and makes all the decisions as far what parameters the SP operates within.

Yeah, my question was rhetorical.
The point is that Holder can just refuse to act, like he has already. Does anyone thing he would do anything other than that?

Well logic would say that if you are implicated in the crime that you would not get to decide who is going to be the SP.
But if that is the case then they have known this all along and really don't give 2 rats asses what the R's have on them.

The AG can recuse himself from this decision and have it made by the Deputy AG, as was done by Ashcroft in 2003 in the Valerie Plume case, but we know he won't do that.

So they have broken the law, and there is no recourse?
holy chit
