#1 'Settled', for a) no financial recourse to the plaintiffs and b) if I understand this right, there are still a number of these org's that haven't been granted 501(c) status. In other words, Lerner & Co. completely got away with it.

#2 Koskinen and Lerner are cowardly feather merchants who were likely backstopped at the highest levels of the government. They were simply following orders.

They will never be prosecuted. To do so would reveal their Kenyan benefactor. This will not be permitted.

#3 The IRS is the agency everyone loves to hate. It is the lifeblood of the Deep State.

The IRS has had 7 Commissioners in slightly over 10 years. Some have been acting commissioners. Some have held office only a short time. The turnover has created turmoil. The weaponization of the IRS by the last administration ruined any reputation the IRS might have had.

#4 The “generous” settlements are paid by the taxpayer and the perps get off scot free with their bonuses and commendations.

#8 Garnish Koskinen and Lerner's retirement to pay out the settlement. Show the apparatchiks that there will be consequences.
