Do you honestly think Lerner is going to sit in jail tapping her foot while Obama washes his hands of her?
I think come November...we'll have a new ball game in play
GOP leadership aides at the time of the contempt vote scoffed at the notion that they would ever arrest the former head of the tax exempt division that singled out conservative groups. Even Boehner himself said on Fox News that “I’m not quite sure that we want to go down that path.”
Once the real talking starts I wouldn't give her two spits before she commits ehm.... Suicide.

There is evidence that she instructed employees to not utilize email and be mindful of what they did discuss via email as there was a Congressional hearing taking place. This indicates a cover up and is illegal as all Federal Agencies communications have to be documented. That law is not open for dispute.

No, it doesn't indicate a cover-up. It indicates a manager notifying their employees that their emails are going to be under close scrutiny so to watch themselves.

So let me get this straight.
Coming from the people who say you can't trust the government...they are advocating that the government should be allowed to arrest people because they THINK, with absolutely no evidence, that they did something illegal.
Funny how much you will support when it is "your side" doing it...huh?
A second federal judge has now ordered the IRS to explain under oath how the agency lost emails from former division director Lois Lerner, the woman at the heart of the Tea Party targeting scandal.
U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton told Obama administration lawyers on Friday he wants to see an affidavit explaining what happened with Lerner's hard drive. The IRS claims her computer suffered a crash in 2011 that wiped her email records at the time clean.
But at a hearing examining a lawsuit against the IRS by conservative group True the Vote, Walton said he wants to know what happened to Lerner's hard drive, which allegedly was recycled. He asked for an affidavit from those involved in handling the crashed drive.
The order is another boost for those questioning the agency's claims that many Lerner emails from that time period are not recoverable.
A day earlier, in a separate case brought by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan gave the tax agency 30 days to file a declaration by an "appropriate official" to address the computer issues involving Lerner. www.foxnews.com...

Well...today a second Judge has court ordered the IRS to testify, under oath, sworn affidavit, explain in detail the missing emails. For Judge Reggie Walton to make this court order, he deemed there is sufficient evidence of criminal activity to warrant it.

What a joyous day.
Any day of misery for the Internal Revenue Service is like a day of sunshine for every other citizen.
Burn the goddamn place to the ground.
