House Republicans Release Scathing Report on Lois Lerner: Could Contempt Charges Follow? | TheBlaze.com:
"Lerner, the former head of the agency’s tax exemption unit, apologized last year for the IRS’ inappropriate targeting of conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status. She later invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, resigned from the agency and has since refused to answer any questions about her possible involvement in the targeting.
Tuesday’s report accuses Lerner of obstructing Congress’ investigation into the targeting scandal, saying she misled investigators about her role in the IRS’ efforts
“Most damning of all, even when she found that the actions of subordinates had not adhered to a standard that could be defended as not ‘per se political,’ instead of immediately reporting this conduct to victims and appropriate authorities, Lerner engaged in efforts to cover it up,” the report states."
