In an interview about possible criminal charges in the IRS targeting scandal House Speaker John Boehner told Fox News’ Megyn Kelly Monday “I don’t care who should be fired. I want to know who is going to jail.”
Share this article if you think Lerner should face jail time for targeting conservatives.
Boehner confirmed to Fox News’ Megyn Kelly Monday that lawmakers plan to press the Justice Department to consider a criminal case against ex-IRS official Lois Lerner for “misleading the Congress.”Boehner also said if Lerner does not cooperate soon by providing information on the IRS targeting scandal, the House would hold her in contempt of Congress.
“Somebody at the IRS violated the law,” Boehner said on “The Kelly File.”
“Whether it was Lois Lerner or not, we’ll find out.”
A meeting of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to consider contempt is set for Thursday.
But before that, the House Ways and Means Committee will meet Wednesday to prepare a letter to the Justice Department citing possible criminal activity by Lerner.Formal notice was given Monday night by the committee to Attorney General Eric Holder about the referral for possible criminal prosecution of Lerner “based on evidence the Committee has uncovered in the course of investigation of IRS abuses.”
Fox News has learned the letter will argue Lerner violated the constitutional rights of citizens, gave misleading information to investigators and inappropriately released private taxpayer information.
The accusations generally relate to the scandal over the agency’s practice of singling out conservative groups seeking non-profit status for extra scrutiny.
Boehner told Kelly that any criminal case against Lerner would be for “misleading the Congress.”

probably just talk
LERNER IS PROTECTING OBAMA’S PART IN IRS SCANDAL. THAT’S WHY SHE KEEPS TAKING THE 5TH.
JAIL!!
If God were to see fit to remove obama, He would not have to strive and strain with people or proceedures. He could simply do it. Keep praying.
Another one of Obama’s scape goats (and she’ll be paid well)!! And his crooked ass will remain untouched. Onward toward the cliff all you “Demolemmings”!
She will be the only scape goat for the others !.
Good! It’s about time!
I won’t believe any of this until it actually happens. another thing I want congress to look into is the firing of 9 commanders from the nuclear missile site in Montana. Obama is at it again! Purging our military. It hasz got to stop!!
It’s a start. Jail ’em one at a time.
What a waste of time.
They’re going to ask the Dept. of Justice to bring criminal charges against this scummy Obama minion.
The same Dept. of Justice thats run by one of the biggest criminals in Washington, as well as being another scummy Obama minion, Eric Holder.
There is a zero percent chance of Lerner being found guilty of anything.
Just waterboard this bitch right on the floor on the floor of congress and get our answers.
