USA Today: DOJ: No criminal charges in IRS Tea Party probe
WASHINGTON — Justice Department officials announced Friday that they would not seek criminal charges in a long-running inquiry into whether the IRS and former official Lois Lerner targeted conservative groups, including the Tea Party, for increased scrutiny in applications for tax-exempt status.
"Our investigation uncovered substantial evidence of mismanagement, poor judgment and institutional inertia leading to the belief by many tax-exempt applicants that the IRS targeted them based on their political viewpoints,'' Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik said Friday in a notification letter to Congress.
WNU Editor: Servers were deliberately wiped out and destroyed .... thousands of groups of one political persuasion targeted .... and this is evidence of "mismanagement, poor judgment and institutional inertia"? If the shoe was on the other foot .... I can hear the massive outcry. But since it is on the other side .... treated as a document dump on a Friday afternoon and buried on page 7. And they criticize how Putin and China handle things.

I would have argued with you several years ago, but not now.
Another perfect example of systemic corruption in the US.
