Lois Lerner demands secrecy, blames death threats over IRS tea party targeting

Former IRS senior executive Lois G. Lerner told a federal court this week that she faces the possibility of death threats if her role in the tax agency’s tea party-targeting becomes public, and asked a judge to forever seal her upcoming deposition in a class-action lawsuit brought by hundreds of groups that were targeted.

Mr. Lerner and Holly Paz, another figure from the IRS tea party targeting, told the judge they’ve already faced “harassment and death threats” before, and said they fear another media firestorm if their version of events from the tea party targeting were to become public.

The two women said they are willing to testify, but said they could be putting “their lives in serious jeopardy.”


“Mss. Lerner and Paz have demonstrated that the public dissemination of their deposition testimony would expose them and their families to harassment and a credible risk of violence and physical harm,” they said in documents submitted by their lawyer to Judge Michael R. Barrett.

I am sure the death threats are coming from the left, they are the ones who would be hurt by her testimony.

Either that or they're total fiction.

She's a known lying, perjuring, vindictive, degenerate, criminally insane Obolaite henchperson. (Damn, am I inclusive or what!!)

I guess they should have thought of that BEFORE doing their dirty deeds.

Cry me a river. I hope they don't cut her any deals and lock her up for being an obummer drone.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Put her in protective custody, aka federal prison.

Either that or they're total fiction.

Prambo: don't hold back. Let it out.

An oldie but a goody. And she thought this was bad...
Fuck her. I hope she gets what she deserves that better than thou pompous bitch. Oh yeah, here you go Lois

A recently retired US president once said "actions have consequences". She is no better than any other person, and deserves whatever a jury has to give her.

Obama’s Chaos Strategy: The Case of the IRS IED
As Lois Lerner attempts to garner the public’s sympathy and a sealing of her testimony in a federal case looking into the targeting of political opponents during the Obama Administration, new reports now suggest that the House of Representatives will recommend the Department of Justice (DOJ) file criminal charges against her. Lerner is the former IRS Exempt Organizations Director and, as such, she is the central player in the pending explosion of the Obama era IRS scandal.

The IRS targeting scandal of profiling and harassing conservative political groups began in March 2010, shortly after the January 2010 Citizens United case was decided by the Supreme Court. No Tea Party applications were approved for the next 27 months, while numerous liberal groups were routinely cleared.

Still think the 2010-2012 IRS targeting scandal and the doubling down in 2013-2014 was a series of random events, devoid of malicious intent? That there is not something structurally wrong at the IRS when years of public scrutiny by Congress and the courts still do not alter many practices? Do you think that swapping out a few political appointees will alter existing incentives and stop this kind of behavior when surprises are still coming out seven years later?

The True the Vote case began in July 2010 and was a particularly egregious one, focusing on a local Texas Tea Party group and its founder, Catherine Englebrecht. In this case the initial IRS investigation triggered additional visits from the FBI, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms.

Ominously, the DOJ was directly involved at a high level in the IRS scandal starting as early as October 2010 when the head of Justice’s Election Crimes Branch, Richard Pilger, met with Lois Lerner. Pilger subsequently told House investigators that the meeting was requested by Jack Smith, the director of DOJ’s Public Integrity Section. It took a Judicial Watch lawsuit to make this information public in December 2014. Further DOJ conflicts-of-interest concerns arose in related IRS scandal issues.

Lerner’s hard drive crashed in June 2011 and was destroyed by the IRS. The IRS did not look for her subpoenaed emails in five other areas—her Blackberry, the email server, the backup email server, the loaner laptop, and the backup tapes, causing 24,000 emails to be lost. Her Blackberry was destroyed about one year later, after a Congressional inquiry was underway and without the IRS making any attempt to recover any of those emails. Eight months after Congress requested all Lerner emails and one month after the IRS told Congress they were missing some emails, the IRS “accidentally” erased 422 backup tapes that may have contained those emails. Emails of up to 20 other related IRS officials suffered similar crashes around that time.

The staff of Democratic Ranking Member Elijah Cummings of the House Oversight Committee engaged in email communications with the IRS between August 2012 and January 2013 about True the Vote, without disclosing any of this to the majority members or staff. Both the IRS and Cummings asked for similar information from True the Vote, suggesting coordination and inappropriate sharing of confidential tax information. Cummings denied this contact in spite of email evidence to the contrary.

Report: Jeff Sessions Could Become Lois Lerner's Worst Nightmare

 

[Robin]

Lets hope so.

[carpediem]

Who cares? Let her deal with it. She should be on a gallows with her neck in a noose for what she has done.

 

[Criticalt]

So she wants to be protected from people that wish her harm because of a CRIME SHE COMMITED.


We want to be protected from middle east terrorists and Mexican illegals that wish us harm but her party wants them to roam freely.

Doesnt it suck to know there are people out there looking to do you harm Lois Learner?

Keep an eye on you 6 bitch.

 

[Robin]

You want security, go move in with O'dumbo, were already paying way to much to protect that fool. Whats one more corrupt, scheming, evil asshole in that household.
Robin

 

[Koz]

Why would her life begin danger? Will her testimony emplicate the Clinton crime family?

 

[Bananabandit]

I demand she gets death threats

 

[pjzwtl]

Eat shit and die LL.

^^^THIS^^^

 

[spat]

So, when the catch this guy running around cleveland shooting people, will he demand that evidence in his crimes are sealed too, after all people are going to call for his death too?

Maybe lois should be worried that someone is going to consider her crimes a form of treason and demand she is executed ?

What she did was a far greater threat to this country than giving some foreign government some submarine plans or something.

 

[Jezman]

OHHHH NOOOO She is now a Victim stop punishing her.

 

[speedkills27]

She used the power of Federal government to betray its citizens. At the very least she needs to be tarred and feathered. I personally think any politician, political appointee, or government employee found guilty of stealing, lying, or intentionally abusing citizens should be put in federal super max with a double long sentence then civilians

 

[speedkills27]

An oldie but a goody. And she thought this was bad...
Fuck her. I hope she gets what she deserves that better than thou pompous bitch. Oh yeah, her you go Lois

Iv never seen this before today! Awesome share!

 

[Criticalt]

I love that her neighbors want NOTHING to do with her.
That old guy summed it up, "I dont want her in my house".
Good idea sir

 

[ProgSpear]

Quick, slam her into WitSec and send her to a 400 head dairy farm to muck stalls by hand for the next 30 years. Hey, I'm just trying to save her life.
