. . . or preserve Congressional authority
Will there be an effective Republican response to Democrat strategy of running out the clock?
This is your GOP congressional leadership at work…”HOPEFULLY”
From The Hill today
Ronald Machen, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia appointed by President Obama and set to step down next month, has not acted on a contempt of Congress charge for former IRS official Lois Lerner.
But unless he acts within the next two weeks, Machen will leave without taking action in the case of Lerner, who directed the IRS division that handled applications for tax-exempt status.
“Under Lois Lerner’s direction, the IRS became a political tool used to systematically target and undermine Americans’ First Amendment rights,” said Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), who accused Machen of using “his own post for political ends” by not referring the case to a grand jury for months “as he is legally bound to do.”
“Hopefully his replacement will do what’s right and allow a grand jury to do its work. The American people deserve to know the truth about the IRS targeting scandal, and Lois Lerner’s testimony is key to uncovering that truth,” Jordan added in a statement to The Hill.
And if not? Congress is proven to be a powerless entity. Its contempt citations and subpoena power a joke to be laughed at.
DLH
keep trying….IRS passed all GOP related requests AND also targeted Liberal groups. “Lib” enuff 4 ya? 🙂 Phil Lib (although pro Israel and anti abortion).
Cannot allow those evil, racist, tea party cannibals “out to nullify civil & voting rights” to have their day in court.

Hey Phil, Tea Party “out to nullify “civil & voting rights” is your spitball.
The apotheosis of your argument appears to be “proof of a negative.”
my spitball? no…because it is THE TRUTH being used to block your insipid, relentless spit balls from the back of the class. show me where I’m wrong, what’s your problem? 🙂
Check voter turnout statistics in Georgia, that is if you want to examine “THE TRUTH”
