So What – Lerner is found in contempt

The House of Representatives voted former IRS official Lois Lerner in contempt of Congress, great, wonderful, so what. Atty. General Holder was also held in contempt by Congress and nothing happened there.

The case now goes to, Obama appointed, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ronald Machen, who supposedly has the “duty” to bring it before a grand jury. Nothing happen to Holder, he still has his job, so why would anything happen with Lerner. Lerner is retired, living good on her pension of over $50,000 a year and still has not talked to the committee, still has not admitted to anything.

It appears that being in contempt means nothing if you are a government worker; no wonder that over 2,800 IRS workers received bonuses, including the 1,150 who owed back taxes. If you are a government worker you can misuse government credit cards for travel, use drug, threaten others with violence and fraudulently claim unemployment benefits with no criminal charges against you – in fact you get rewarded with a bonus

Like Hillary said, "What difference does it make."
