Apparently the Republican-led DoJ disagrees with you. They could find nothing to charge her with.
It's hard to deal with when one of your pet narratives gets shot to hell, huh?
Everyone involved with the scandal has resigned. There is a big difference between being guilty and being convicted (OJ Simpson). It would probably be not worth the money to prosecute.

Oh, this is really funny. The party that had no qualms squandering millions upon millions of dollars on never-ending investigations of the Clintons would stop at prosecuting Lerner because it might cost some money?
Yeah, nobody is buying that. If there was even a chance that they could convict her they would be going full speed ahead. The fact that they are dropping it tells you they have absolutely nothing they can charge her with. SAD!
The whole thing STARTED when Lerner ADMITTED before a conference, just before a IG report wa to come out, that SHE did IN FACT have her workers target and hiold up applications from conservative groups.
Sorry, you CAN'T change the FACTS.
All of that is true -- BUT, it's also true that under our Laws AND the United State Merit Protection Board, what she did is NOT a "crime" that can be prosecuted.
The Committees that held the hearings never filed any charges or asked any to be filed. The Justice Department on Friday, in letters to the chairmen and ranking members of the House Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform committees, said there is “no evidence to support a criminal prosecution” of former IRS Exempt Organizations division director Lois Lerner or any other IRS employee involved in the 2010-2012 mishandling of applications from primarily conservative nonprofits seeking status as social welfare organizations.
Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik said, “The IRS mishandled the processing of tax-exempt applications in a manner that disproportionately impacted applicants affiliated with the Tea Party and similar groups, leaving the appearance that the IRS’s conduct was motivated by political, discriminatory, corrupt, or other inappropriate motive.” However, he added, “ineffective management is not a crime.”
Apparently there is no LAW against IRS Employees targeting certain citizens because they disagree with them Politically. This is one of the reasons I keep saying that we need to clean house in the IRS and get rid of their Leadership.
Kevin Brady is taking Cheap Shots at AG Jeff Sessions and probably President Trump also - Brady has to be aware that Sessions/Trump can't just make up Laws ....... only TeamObama could do that and get away with it.
This is just one of the many controversies that stained the Obama Presidency as one of the worst in US History.
Everyone knows Obama and Lerner were guilty of weaponizing the IRS whether they prosecute or not.
If this is indeed the case then perhaps the current admin and DOJ would have charged one or both with a crime. Or perhaps you were yet again conned by a bunch of nothing.

What the article states and the excuse you use are two very different things. This was not simply ineffectual management.
