Watch: Boehner Just Surrendered To ... Eric Holder: Days after Republicans in the chamber led a vote to hold former IRS official Lois Lerner in contempt of Congress, House Speaker John Boehner announced his intention to effectively neuter representatives hoping to enforce a real penalty against her.
Despite her consistent pattern of stonewalling investigators trying to get to the bottom of the IRS’ targeting of conservative groups, he indicated the House’s role in the Lerner ordeal is over.
Although House members are constitutionally permitted to make an arrest on such charges, Boehner explained this weekend that he is firmly against pursuing that option. Instead, he said in a Fox News interview Sunday, he wants to let Eric Holder be the sole arbiter of justice in the case.
