Here is why the House investigations are not going away in spite of the cover-up being orchestrated against these investigations.

<<< At least three CRIMINAL charges are being filed against Lerner,  not including her violation of the House subpoena and her blatant refusal to comply.

From Politico:

The House Ways and Means Committee will vote this week to formally ask the Justice Department to pursue criminal charges against former IRS employee Lois Lerner, an official at the center of Republican probes of the matter.

The House Ways and Means Committee is,  perhaps,  the strongest committee in the House,  complete with   subpoena power.   The reason John Boehner opposes a special prosecutor is the Ways and Means Committee.  To appoint a Special Prosecutor would be to "start over" in the investigation,  to recall and review all the witnesses and documents.  And,  the House Committee has as much power to proceed as a Special Prosecutor would.  The difference between the two entities,  is found in the limited scope of the Committee versus a "take it where it leads" investigative scope that a Special Prosecutor would have.

The committee will mark up a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder on Wednesday accusing Lerner of committing three crimes relating to the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups seeking tax exempt status, a Republican staffer said.

Of course,  Eric Holder,  a proven lackey for this Administration of Lies,  will do nothing.  He has already stated is contempt for any committee of white Republicans,  and will camp on his racism as he continues to protect this Administration.  But,  if the GOP takes the Senate,  later this year,  all investigations will continue "on steriods," just in time for the 2016 elections.

The controversy erupted in May when Lerner admitted the agency given extra scrutiny to tea party groups – an acknowledgement that has cost a handful of agency employees their jobs, including its commissioner, and prompted a series of congressional investigations.

While Politico claims the loss of jobs for a number of IRS employees,  nothing could be further from the truth if this "job loss" was punishment for their criminal activity.  Some retired with full benefits,  some were moved to other venues in the IRS,  and, still, others,  remain as before.  Politico's claim is untrue and proof of its Left Wing bias.

I must add a commit about why I do not want "impeachment" as an option for H Obama.  First,  much of his actions are/could be criminal in nature;  secondly,  to "oust" Obama would be to put Joe Biden in as President,  a scary consideration,  in and of itself.
