Lois Lerner Investigation, Iceland Bankers and Show Outro

The Department of Justice closes its investigation into former IRS official Lois Lerner, finding no evidence of political motive in the targeting of Tea Party groups. The hosts contrast this with Iceland's sentencing of 26 bankers for their roles in the 2008 financial crash. The episode concludes with a montage of clips from the Benghazi hearing and a final reminder of the eighth anniversary celebration on the following Thursday.

Financial Crimes, Iceland Banker Indictments

The hosts discuss the historical punishment for financial crimes and the current trend of public anger toward bankers. They highlight Iceland as a unique case where the government has actually indicted prime ministers and jailed bankers following the 2008 financial collapse. Iceland's economy is reportedly growing again as a result of these draconian measures.
