Well, well, well. In a stunning case of good fortune it looks like Lois Lerner has dodged a legal bullet, as the Justice Department (unsurprisingly) fails to find the required evidence to press charges against ANYONE at the IRS in the alleged targeting of Conservative political groups.

Using extremely nuanced language, and a general boatload of bafflegab, it lets everyone off the hook while at the same time admitting these groups were mistreated by the agency.

For example....while they found "mismanagement, poor judgment and institutional inertia," they found "no evidence that would support a criminal prosecution."

Institutional inertia??? Like what, the IRS building moved while handling Tea Party applications? OR More like the IRS was 'moved' to block and delay these applications for unacceptable periods of time to prevent them being useful during the election cycle?

In regards to Lerner herself?....She used "poor judgment" in using her IRS email account to send personal messages voicing "political views," but said they found no evidence that she exercised her official authority at the IRS in a "partisan manner generally" or that political views influenced her actions with regard to the tax-exempt applications.

Ok 'poor judgement'. She sends emails from her IRS account insulting and disparaging Republicans, BUT that NEVER enters into her conduct on the Tea Party requests that were delayed? Um, ok. Sure.

My favorite part of that is that she wasn't found to exercise her authority 'in a partisan manner GENERALLY'. Well for me NOT to do something GENERALLY, for comparison, I have to do that thing OCCASIONALLY. DUH! No one ever said Lerner denied Tea Party apps 24/7. IF however she dedicated 2 minutes, once a week, to calling someone and saying "Kill all Tea Party apps today" that is NOT generally being partisan????

The underlings in the Cincinnati office? Just dolts apparently. The process they were required to follow was 'burdensome' and 'ill advised' and that front line staff made mistakes that were compounded by 'leadership lapses' in DC.

Wow. Let me get some Glade, cause that is some powerful smelling Grade A horse excrement. So let me parse the admin-speak here. Your processes for Tea Party tax exempt approvals were sooooo tough to pull off, that the staff couldn't help but screw it up? Hmmmm. Wonder how many Democrat related applications were screwed up? The process would be the same for both, right? But, be that as it may, WHEN mistakes were made, people in DC apparently made them worse when they had 'leadership lapses'. Hmmmmm. Again, wondering how many leadership lapses we could isolate on those Democrat themed applications?

Finally though, when we get past all the butt covering splendor that is the Justice Department report, we need to simply look at the math. When the IRS received a request to hand over e-mails concerning the targeting of Tea Party and pro-Israel groups, an amazing thing happened. Computer hard drives started to crash like beaters at a demolition derby.

SEVEN significant personnel who were thought to have e-mails germane to the investigation ALL had crashed hard drives. The IRS's solution? Cancel the contract it had with Sonasoft that would have stored back ups of Lerners email, as well as others.

Some mathematical perspective on these 'crashes'.
1) Odds of winning the Florida state lottery? 1 in 23,000,000
2) Odds of winning Powerball? 1 in 175,000,000
3) Odds of winning MegaMillions? 1 in 258,890,850
4) Odds of all seven hard drives crashing in the same month at the IRS? 1 in 78,664,164,096. That's ONE IN SEVENTY-EIGHT BILLION!!!

In other words, you could win the Florida lottery THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY TWO TIMES before you would crash those 7 hard drives in the same month.

Nahhhhh, nothing to see here Sheeple. Move along, this is not the droid you're looking for....

It's disgusting alright!

and who picked the judges? and the attorneys? isn't the JD the only branch chosen without any votes?

Liberals....

"Justice Dept. Tosses Lois Lerner Case......"

This is a surprise because why?

I believe, the libtards refer to these types of shenanigans, as "quid pro quo".
