Lois Lerner says she is no Jeffrey Dahmer.
The former Internal Revenue Service official referenced the infamous cannibalistic serial killer as she broke her silence for the first time about last year’s IRS scandal.
Lerner told the website Politico that she has been the recipient of threats and hate mail, describing how one person called her “the worst person ever in the United States.”
I just thought, ‘Boy, worse than Jeffrey Dahmer?’” Lerner quipped.
Lerner, who led the tax-exempt division of the IRS, was forced out of the agency after she found herself at the center of the scandal over the agency’s targeting of conservative groups for special review in their applications for non-profit status.
In May, the House of Representatives held Lerner in contempt for refusing to testify about her role in the scandal after telling Congress she was innocent of wrongdoing.
During the interview with Politico, Lerner was still defiant: “I didn’t do anything wrong. I’m proud of my career and the job I did for this country.”
Added Lerner: “Regardless of whatever else happens, I know I did the best I could under the circumstances and am not sorry for anything I did.”
Lerner described how tough the last year has been — she has been attacked as a “dirty Jew” and the threats have been serious enough to warrant protection from federal agents — but she refused to discuss her role in targeting conservative groups.
“She studiously avoided answering fundamental questions about her role in the IRS scandal that could land her in deeper trouble with Congress,” Politico explained.
The story noted that Lerner is having trouble finding work to help pay her legal fees. Still, she receives an annual $100,000 pension from the government, a congressional investigator told the outlet.
Much has been made of Lerner’s apparent pro-Democratic Party leanings. The story noted how Lerner wrote emails detailing her opposition to the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision — a favorite cause of liberals — and praising legislation proposed by Democratic Rep. Chris Van Hollen.
But Lerner claimed in the interview that she is “not a political person.”
“What matters is that my personal opinions have never affected my work,” she said.
Understanding how toxic she is, Lerner declined to name the organizations she has been volunteering for because: “I feel like having my name attached does nothing but cause issues for people.”
It’s got to be tough for Lois. Obviously she is carrying some heavy guilt.
What would she prostitute?
Geez makeup can only do so much
Jeffrey Dahmer may have been a lot of things but he did not betray his country.
No, Lois, you are no Jeff Dahmer but you are
Bernie Madoff X 3 and he is serving time in prison.
That’s going to short-dick every cannibal in the Beltway.
Lois, you are worse then Jeffrey. He is dead and you are alive. Lois, you are sick.
She does not want to eat the ones she kills.
*BUZZ* Dahmer is dead, so he’s not in the running
And I don’t know about worse person. But IMO in the award for most tyrannical fascist POS, she takes a close second behind Eric holder followed by a close 3rd from Obama.
Presidential Pardon?
25 cents per trick?
I saw a large, close-up photo of her in an earlier thread.
Man, that was really something, it was a real boner-killer.
Hold it up in Times Square and you would kill boners in eastern Pennsylvania and southern New England.
I would expect in the right situation, as in the former soviet union or China that a left wing crazed zealot like Lois lerner would have no trouble with the idea of murdering people who disagree with her.
So yeah, in that sense she does rank up there with dahmer.
That’s slander. Slander, I say.
There are some things that Jeffrey wouldn’t eat.
Exactly, she is far more evil. She endangers the entire republic.
She’s worse, she cannibalized the Constitution.
She doesn't think she did anything wrong, because what she did has become SOP for federal bureaucrats. How many more Lois Lerner's are there, systematically abusing the power and authority of their office to attack and punish anyone they perceive as a political enemy?
