Roskam told Stewart House Republicans are planning of filing criminal charges against Lois Lerner.
Rep. Roskam: The Obama Administration was very lenient with the crimes that Lois Lerner committed. And those are strong words that I’m using but the House Ways and Means Committee voted out a criminal referral to the Department of Justice which was completely dismissed by the Department of Justice... We think that Lois Lerner did two things wrong. Number one, she denied people due process and equal protection of the law based on their political philosophy. We’re convinced that there is overwhelming evidence to suggest that that’s true. And that’s a felony. Secondly, we suspect that she lied to the Inspector General of the Treasury Department.
They thought after Obama's two terms in the White House that they owned American politics, and acted accordingly -- after all, 97% of journalists agreed with this assessment. But once again it turned out that the official consensus only held until reality voted.

How about once, just once, you guys actually FINISH something? Is that too much to ask?
You have Ryancare laying in pieces, the budget is still a work in progress, immigration looks like something from a Marx Brothers movie and Susan Rice is laughing her ARSE off at youse, and oh yeah, there is that little thing about a bathroom based server......
Just finish some damn thing.
Or quit and let the Dems wreck it for you
(You would probably phuque up making a soup sandwich)

Both Lerner and Koskinen exuded arrogance during hearings; no wonder, things were backstopped at the DOJ. So long as that was true, nothing was going to happen. We can hope that things will get off the dime and something is done now about the widespread blatant criminality in the last administration.
[RT] First Lady of the United States Melania Trump has won a lawsuit against Britannia’s Daily Mail and Mail Online over an article spreading "false" information about her professional modelling career.
The newspaper has agreed to pay damages and costs after publishing an article that included allegations that Melania had worked as an escort.
Melania, President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s third wife, has accepted damages and an apology from the newspaper at London’s High Court.
The precise amount the paper will fork out in order to settle the lawsuit is unknown, but Melania had reportedly sought damages of £120 million ($150 million).
However, denial ain't just a river in Egypt... a Rooters report quotes an anonymous source familiar with the case who said the settlement is worth less than £2.4 million ($3 million), taking into account both legal costs and damages.
A court statement said both the print and online version of the article published last summer contained "false and defamatory claims about [Melania] which questioned the nature of her work as a professional model and republished allegations that she provided services beyond simply modelling."
The statement, read by solicitor John Kelly, of the Harbottle and Lewis law firm, added: "The article included statements that Mrs Trump denied the allegations. No, no! Certainly not! and Paulo Zampolli, who ran the modelling agency, also denied the allegations. No, no! Certainly not! and the article also stated that there was no evidence to support the allegations.
"The article also claimed that Mr and Mrs Trump may have met three years before they actually met and ’staged’ their actual meeting as a ’ruse.’ These allegations about Mrs Trump are not true."
The statement added the tabloid’s allegation had attacked Melania’s "dignity."
"The allegations strike at the heart of the claimant’s personal integrity and dignity.
"The claimant has not acted as alleged.
"The suggestion that such allegations even merit investigation is deeply offensive and has caused a great deal of upset to the claimant."
Catrin Evans QC, for the Daily Mail owner Associated Newspapers, said everything in the statement has been accepted by the publication, adding the allegations have been retracted and withdrawn.
The apology by the paper reads: "We accept that these allegations about Mrs Trump are not true and we retract and withdraw them.
"We apologize to Mrs Trump for any distress that our publication caused her.
"To settle Mrs Trump’s two lawsuits against us, we have agreed to pay her damages and costs."
The Daily Mail originally published the article on August 20, 2016, in the run-up to the US presidential election, under the headline: "Racy photos and troubling questions about his wife’s past that could derail Trump."

A forensics expert has said that stab wounds found on the body of a former top Roscosmos official who was awaiting trial on embezzlement charges were not self-inflicted, according to a Russian media report.
Vladimir Yevdokimov was found stabbed to death in a detention cell he shared with 11 other inmates on March 18. Law enforcement officials have been investigating the death as a murder, but had earlier not ruled out suicide.
Yuri Pigolkin, head of the forensics department at the First Moscow State Medical University, said he reached the conclusion after examining photos of the deceased.
The head of the department noted that Evdokimov could not have wounded himself in the chest area with such force. "These two blows. They probably get to the spine. Apparently, damage from these wounds can be seen from the opposite side of the chest. In addition, the wounds are deep and wide: the entire blade has probably been shipped," the expert noted.
Yevdokimov, who formerly headed up Roscosmos’ quality control and reliability efforts, was arrested in December on charges of embezzling 200 million rubles ($3.5 million) from the MIG Russian Aircraft Corporation.
Yevdokimov and an alleged accomplice denied the charge. However, Russian media have speculated Yevdokimov might have been murdered to keep him from exposing other embezzlers in the Russian aerospace industry.

Something basic, time-tested. The 'caged coffin' and public display. Ten days on, ten off.
