The Trump administration said Friday it won't charge a key IRS figure in the mistreatment of conservative political groups during the 2010 and 2012 elections.

In a letter to members of Congress, the Justice Department said that "reopening the criminal investigation would not be appropriate based on the available evidence." Republican leaders on the House Ways and Means Committee had hoped the Justice Department would reopen its case against ex-IRS official Lois Lerner now that Republican Donald Trump is in the White House and Attorney General Jeff Sessions runs the department.

Thanks for nothing, Sessions! Why are these people above the law??

If the shoe were on a foot on the opposite side of the aisle the chant would be "NO JUSTICE! NO PEACE!" and various stores would be looted and/or burned.

Are you open to the possibility that she didn't break the law? Or is the only answer that the Trump administration is somehow covering up for the Democrats?

The more things change, the more they remain the same. I bet if Lerner was caught smoking a joint, Sessions would be all over her!

Haven't thought about her in a while. She must be glad Clinton wasn't president or she would have been involved in a robbery gone wrong in a "bad" part of town.

So you don't agree with equal justice under the law? Good to know.

This is obvious payback for the dissenting votes from freedom caucus on the relief bill. 3D chess from Trump to bring them back in to the fold. Art of the deal, mon frere.

Not that this will happen or is what is happening, but I would gladly trade that idiot Lois Lerner for a dismantling of the IRS and tax reform. Sadly, it appears we won't get either her head on a platter or tax reform.

Where did you get that idea? Trump could have initiated a special prosecutor just for her and I wouldn't care. She was put in her position by W despite her obvious lack of competency.

Lock her up!

Maybe they didnt have sufficient evidence to charge her?

WTF did her lawyer know that Sessions doesn't.
