Embattled ex-IRS executive Lois Lerner was in federal court last week, asking a judge to seal her forthcoming deposition due to the inflammatory nature of her testimony.
Lerner told the judge that if her actions at the IRS were to become public knowledge, she could face death threats from angry Americans – particularly those on the conservative side of the spectrum.
Lerner is well-known for her role in the IRS’s partisan targeting of Tea Party groups; under the Obama administration, the IRS singled out nonprofit groups with conservative, Tea Party-ish style names for extra scrutiny. Many of their cases lingered in limbo for years while the IRS pretended to review their applications. Ultimately, there came to be no denying that there was a systematic, political effort inside the IRS to make life as difficult as possible for groups seen as threats to Obama’s agenda.
Lerner and Holly Paz are scheduled to testify in a class action lawsuit against the IRS, which is being brought by 428 groups who were affected by the targeting scandal. But before the pair commit their testimony to record, they want assurances that what they say will never be read by the public.
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,” their lawyer said in documents to the court.
Reportedly, the women have submitted evidence to the judge that shows they’ve already received threats couched in “graphic, profane, and disturbing language.”
No matter what the judge decides, the request itself has put the IRS scandal back in the headlines, and it comes at a time when Republicans want the Justice Department to re-open the case against Lerner. They say she deliberately obstructed the congressional investigation into the targeting and may have even contributed to it with her snide emails about Republicans.
If Lerner is so terrified about her actions coming to public light, that says it all. If she could reduce her perceived role in all this, she would shout her testimony from the highest mountain. Instead, she has wrapped herself in every layer of secrecy she can find. Either she’s protecting a certain someone higher on the food chain or she’s covering her own behind.
Knowing the Obama administration, we’re guessing it’s a little of both.
No, she deserves to be tried and executed.
All public officials who betray the public trust for power or money deserve execution.
They have taken the taxed money from those who are required to pay it, to meet their needs.
They have manipulated laws for their own selfish wants.
They need to be executed as examples to others.
Put Lerner in the same cell with Hillary. It would not be too long before she either dead or quite willing to rat out 0bama
When you engage in Gestapo tactics, you SHOULD fear for your life every minute of every day.
To me, the fact that the media satanists insisted Barack Hussein Spittle’s association with b*ll ay*rs “didn’t matter” says it all.
That is very telling there!
She should be terrified of the truth coming out then.
Hope she spends the rest of her life in solitary for her fascist crimes.
Now I’m not advocating, calling for nor suggesting that Lerner and all her fellow travelers at the IRS receive The Full Mussolini:

But, just reminding that in our current deeply indebted situation, it’d generate a lot of money if pay-per-view’d.
Absolutely!
It’s scary how most folks don’t connect the dots or didn’t care.
>>Because Democrats are Democrats first.
*****************************************
Because they are communists first, BOTH Democrats and Republicans.
>>I’m fully convinced after all that Obama’s gov’t did that Democrats will call the trains & showers for Conservatives the next go around if they have the chance and power.
This is just an inkling of what has come to light from their demonic minds.
***********************************************************
Absolutely. History tells us the communists, fascists, global tyrants (dressed up in Democrat AND Republican costumes) will not only call for it but will arrange and carry it out. They’ve already planned for it.
>>That’s the Mussolini sneer.
*****************************
Yep, it sure is. And it deserves the same treatment.
Trying to outdo the next big talker. Save it for
someone easily impressed.
Yep. I think that was the video. Thanks.

She IS one haughty Democrat criminal ........
Hey Lois, sounds like you may need security detail. Watch your back.
On the other hand, don’t!
Was it the French who had a method to take care of that look?
