The Department of Justice said today that it was poor management, not political motivation, that led the IRS to examine the Tea Party, according to a letter the agency sent to Congress.

The DOJ investigation found “no evidence” that the IRS targeted Tea Party tax-exempt applications for audits, and “no evidence” that any official at IRS attempted to obstruct justice.

Former IRS official Lois Lerner, the woman at the center of the controversy, will not be charged, and the criminal probe has been closed.

The decision was revealed in a letter to Congress today from Assistant Attorney General Peter J. Kadzik.

“We found no evidence that any IRS official acted based on political, discriminatory, corrupt or other inappropriate motives that would support a criminal prosecution," the letter said. “We also found no evidence that any official involved in the handling of tax-exempt applications or IRS leadership attempted to obstruct justice.”

Justice: IRS official Lois Lerner didn't merely target conservative groups to take away their tax-free status, as first suspected, but also handed over more than a million pages of tax returns to the Justice Department. That's a crime.

It's now apparent, if it wasn't before, that the Internal Revenue Service -- which was created solely to collect revenues due the government, not to persecute the administration's political enemies -- has become a kind of rogue agency.

Its chief, John Koskinen, is being threatened with impeachment for not telling the truth in testimony before Congress. But Lerner, more than even Koskinen, has become a symbol of IRS arrogance and illegality.

As Eliana Johnson of the National Review reported this week, Lerner transmitted some 1.25 million pages of tax returns of mostly Tea Party and conservative groups to the Justice Department in October 2010. In Johnson's words, this was "likely the largest unauthorized disclosure of tax-return information in history."

For some perspective, this took place at the start of a three-year period during which the same groups found their applications for tax-free status inexplicably held up, while those for liberal groups were more or less routinely rubber-stamped.

But the actual transmission of their tax returns as part of a fishing expedition by Lerner is the big problem here -- because she also transmitted IRS Schedule B data, which includes the names and addresses of contributors to those conservative groups. That's a big no-no.

Unfortunately for Lerner, tax returns are nearly sacrosanct under the law. Only an active investigation into criminal acts would allow the IRS to give the tax returns to the Justice Department. And then, by law, Justice would have to specifically request them. They didn't in this case.

By the way, a good-government group called the Cause of Action Institute has been dredging all this information up as part of its ongoing litigation in the case. We wish them luck.

"The IRS, in the midst of its political targeting of groups engaged in policy advocacy, was engaging in the disclosure of millions of records aimed at ginning up prosecutions of these groups without going through the legally required channels," Dan Epstein, executive director of Cause of Action, told the National Review.

So it looks like Lerner broke the law -- again. But will she be punished? Not likely.

President Obama's Justice Department already passed on prosecuting Lerner in 2015, despite strong evidence of criminal wrongdoing. IRS chief Koskinen, who is less guilty and less implicated than Lerner in all of this IRS skulduggery, is more likely to be impeached than Lerner is to be brought before a judge.

This just proves what we already know. We can have no justice with the current people in charge. We've been taken over by tyrants. There are no Americans in American government any longer. The takeover is complete

You will find only justice for a creditor in a bankruptcy situation. Most likely you are failing to conclude that you are involved with bankruptcy and your status is not 'citizen' but rather 'debtor'. Those FRNs in your pocket don't represent wealth but debt. When gold standard was revoked smart people looked around to see what they could substitute for it and they came to the conclusion that they had more debt than anything else so they opted to make debt represent money.

Law gets thrown out at the same time. You need substance to form a contract and there is no substance when money is nothing more than an IOU. That is why Law and Equity got merged in the 1950s. Nobody had access to Law any more when gold was not money so Equity stepped up to the mound and the rules of the game changed. You don't get justice in Equity. In this field of law they would prefer to divide the baby rather than give it to one party or the other.

Equity is also estrogen laden. It is by and for females whereas Law is masculine. Sovereignty is masculine. Matters are settled by champions on the battlefield. Equity has no such concept. Unisex is an Equity concept whereas Law would accentuate the difference by insisting that men have a beard. Testify is a Law concept. In testify a witness stands and with his right hand cupping his balls swears to the truth of his testimony. Eunichs could not testify just 'cause they had nothing down there to swear on.
