So while it lead to "perceptions" as the report said, it really was just the IRS doing its job.
Not only wasn't the IRS doing its job when it approved a bogus "charity" for Obama's half brother, but Ms Lerner personally approved it. Funny how that happens.

Does anyone have a link to DOJ's letter to Congress? I'd like to read the source document.

The new republican political witch hunt gives republicans another opportunity to look idiotic before the country.
Ms Lerner is as "inept" as Hillary.
Let's play the gender card.
Not sure how you worked the gender card thing into this.

There should be a special committee to investigate republican ineptness and waste of resources.

But apparently not as inept as:
the Benghazi select committee, and
the current crop of republican candidates, and
the republican "freedom" caucus, and
the republican congressional leadership, and
the list goes on and on...

Perhaps the simple truth would be less costly, no?
But if you can work the system, why not?
Thanks, Toby.

Ok, so the Lois Lerner, aka Toby Miles, was an inept public employee. Her tax attorney law partner husband, Michael Miles must be oh, so proud of her stellar performance.
Shame on them both.

From Roll Call:
DOJ “found no evidence that any IRS official acted based on political, discriminatory, corrupt, or other inappropriate motives that would support a criminal prosecution.”... No IRS employee interviewed by the DOJ reported having any information suggesting actions were taken “with the purpose of harming or harassing applicants affiliated with the Tea Party or similar groups,” he stated. Even politically conservative employees who were critical of Lerner’s leadership and management style did not suspect their boss acted with political, discriminatory or corrupt purposes.
This was all a waste of money. Just a political attack.
