Government watchdog group Judicial Watch hammered the DOJ’s decision:

BREAKING: JW has no confidence that DOJ adequately reviewed the #IRS scandal – b/c the FBI collaborated w/ the IRS.?https://t.co/2BFsjF4m1r

— Judicial Watch ? (@JudicialWatch) September 8, 2017

JW is still fighting DOJ&IRS for docs. Trump should order review of the scandal & the IRS Commish should be removed.https://t.co/2BFsjF4m1r

JW investigated the #LoisLerner #IRS scandal for years. We uncovered evidence of cover-ups & destruction of records.https://t.co/Oocc7rXnVB

DOJ and FBI conspired with Lerner's IRS. No surprise they won't prosecute her or themselves. @realDonaldTrump should order a review.

And Judicial Watch wasn’t alone in their criticism of the DOJ’s decision:

Ways Means Chair Brady on DoJ decision not to prosecute fmr IRS figure Lois Lerner: This is a terrible decision.

There's a better case for prosecuting Lerner than there is Hillary but here we are. #LockHerUporNot

It will be called the Lerner Policy. This means that any official at the IRS can do things that Help their Party w/o fear of prosecution. https://t.co/Ccz7dvNHCg
