“Regardless of whatever else happens, I know I did the best I could under the circumstances and am not sorry for anything I did,” former IRS official Lois Lerner told POLITICO in an exclusive interview released today.
In the piece, Lerner portrays herself as being unfairly attacked by the very groups she spent years inappropriately targeting.
Lerner, for her part, assumes she is at the center of the storm because “I was the person who announced it. I assume the other part of it is because I declined to talk, and once I declined to talk, they could say anything they wanted, and they knew I couldn’t say anything back.”
Oh, and she wants everyone to know how apolitical she is too. This is the same woman who was in contact with the Department of Justice about putting tea party leaders behind bars for "lying" about political activity and the same woman who called conservatives crazies and a**holes in an email. Speaking o f those crazy a**holes, according to Lerner and her husband, Mark Levin and his listeners were the source of that comment.
They’ve released partial emails, including one after President Barack Obama’s reelection in which she and Miles bemoan far-right conservative talk radio, calling them “crazies” and “a—holes.”
The couple said the exchange was taken entirely out of context. Miles wrote the email after listening to callers on the “Mark Levin Show” rant about stockpiling food and guns to fight because Obama was going to run the country into the ground. Lerner, then in London, responded from her work email about hearing chatter about the U.S. being a broken system for its fiscal brinkmanship over the debt ceiling.
Lerner said she is “not a political person,” has voted for candidates of both parties and that the only campaign contribution she ever made was $25 to a fellow law school student running for judge.
And, let's not forget "non-political" Lerner discussing the possibility of joining President Obama's 2012 re-election machine Organization for Action.
Lerner, the director of Exempt Organizations, emailed a colleague about OFA on January 24, who noted that they would primarily operate out of Chicago - but would have an office in Washington D.C.
“Oh--maybe I can get the DC office job!” Lerner emailed back.
Unfortunately, Lerner isn't playing the victim card all on her own. EO Tax Journal Editor Paul Streckfus is helping her.
“By taking the Fifth, Lois put a sign on her back: Kick me," Streckfus told POLITICO for their story.
Lois Lerner isn't a victim, she's a bully backed up by America's most powerful federal government agency, the Justice Department and the Obama administration. People like Becky Gerritson and hundreds of regular Americans like her who were targeted by Lerner and her goons are the real victims and they deserve justice.

What she is is an ignorant sl*t.
Fish don’t know they have gills and live in the water, either.
Xanax queen
So she takes the Fifth, then goes out and gives interviews? How is this just? /rhetorical
Well I know she isn’t HUMAN! So maybe she isn’t a person! LOL
This arrogant piece of garbage should be in prison, where all dirtbag criminals like her belong.
This ugly-a$$ shriveled up old hag needs to be in jail.
Typical leftist attempt to brazen it out. If she can portray a “wronged” bureaucrat convincingly enough, our feminized culture will undoubtedly pardon her.
dirt road
ALL of us paid taxes for her salary - and she only represented Democrats. Conservatives were on her enemies list... Lois should be forced to return half the money to the Treasury - the half conservatives paid.
When they wrote the Constitution they were expressly defending us from all the Lois Lerner’s of the world.
Exactly
No bias there!
Such scum on the Left
She wouldn’t have to be a political person to say that.
All she would have to do is watch the news every once in a while to pick that up.
The fallacy of pretended neutrality is a hallmark of those who lack belief in moral absolutes.
She’s every bit as unbiased as a gay Democrat federal district court judge appointee on the issue of homosexual marriage .... these people really are “transparent” just not the way they claim to be.
“Someone who “didn’t do anything wrong” never ‘pleads the Fifth’...”
BS. A prosecutor can use all kinds of things you might say to cast guilt on an innocent person.
Don’t Talk to Police ...

After listening to Lerner I have to consider all female liberals c**ts.
