The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee officially voted Wednesday to hold former Internal Revenue Service (IRS) official Lois Lerner in contempt of Congress. The 21 to 12 vote broke down along party lines, with Republicans voting yes and Democrats voting no.

The case will now be referred to AG Eric Holder in consideration for the convention of a grand jury, or other options.  The vote was actually 231 to 187 in the House.  Can you say, again, “party lines”?

Here’s what will happen:

Nothing.

She will not be indicted, she won’t spend a microsecond in confinement.  The actions of Congress will ultimately mean nothing.  Eric Holder will ensure this.

Behind the scenes, Lois Lerner is smiling, backslapping her attorneys and knocking back a few drinks after calling Holder and confirming his inaction.

This is nothing more than Kabuki Theatre for the ignorant.
