#1 DOJ (Holder, Lynch) and the FBI began an investigation into this in May 2013 Mueller, (Comey). In October 2015, the DOJ announced it was closing the investigation and would not seek criminal charges.

Lois Lerner is ~~working for H & R Block--the busy season is around April~~ a partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. The Justice Department, under Lynch, said they would not pursue criminal contempt charges against Lerner despite the House bringing contempt charges against her.

Move on, nothing to see here. "No reasonable prosecutor would bring this case to trial" (w/great sarc).

#3 "That was wrong," Lerner said at the time in the press. "That was absolutely incorrect, it was insensitive and it was inappropriate. ... The IRS would like to apologize for that."

I'd be a little more convinced of Ms. Lerner's sincerity if she'd been wearing an orange jump suit and handcuffs when she made that statement.

Please tell me how the Russians hacking the DNC email server could have done more to interfere with our democracy than the IRS did under the Obama administration.
