Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL) went on with Stewart Varney on Thursday morning to discuss recent developments on Capitol Hill.

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 Inspecter General of the Treasury Department.

I'd consider immunity in exchange for a bigger name.

Another reason to vote for Repubs. As much as I dislike "special prosecutors", I think one is justified in her case. I also think several others are worthy of the attention, but would have to look at the list that was made immune from the law in exchange for nothing.

I don't think we need a special prosecutor now that DOJ is in the hands of someone that actually cares about the law. Any good prosecutor can do a thorough investigation and find out all that were involved.
