Lerner, Paz say they fear physical harm from enraged public, want IRS testimony sealed permanently
The Washington Times ^ | 11/19/2017 | Stephen Dinan

Former IRS executive Lois G. Lerner told a federal court last week that members of her family, including “young children,” face death threats and a real risk of physical harm if her explanation of the tea party targeting scandal becomes public.

...

Ms. Lerner and Holly Paz, her deputy at the IRS, filed documents in court Thursday saying tapes and transcripts of depositions they gave in a court case this year must remain sealed in perpetuity, or else they could spur an enraged public to retaliate.

Lois, if some crazy person kills you, that person will still be tried. If found crazy, that person will be out in two years to celebrate life.

I don’t understand your concern when we have solid liberal justice throughout this country.

Besides, you did nothing wrong, correct?

I hope Ms. Lerner will be sent to a safe place, one with armed guards, one with bars to keep bad people from getting to her, and one where she can reflect for 10-20 years on why she should not commit serious felonies that suppress the rights of decent Americans. I hope they find a nice federal prison for her and send her there.

Her actions in trying to keep those records sealed will enrage the public; either way she loses.

Let her rip!
Let the information get to the public about public manipulation for political purposes.

The IRS was another ( Obama) compromised and weaponized government organization!

Ms. Lerner, everyone realizes arraying the IRS against individual taxpayers and their groups was just a practical joke you were playing.
A simple, entertaining, and fun-filled innocent prank. No hard feelings, OK?

I thought she just pleaded the 5th. What was so inflammatory that she said?

I get the feeling that Judge Michael R. Barrett will see things as Lois does and seal the records. These types look out for their own.

Wow, maybe you should have thought about that, Ms Lerner. You know, actions/consequences.

The downfall of the American Republic began when we abandoned the practice of Tar and Feathers.

The whole country and the rights of everyone in it should be s**tcanned because this one person did what she did, under the self-assumed authority of the “greater good.”

OK, I say, then throw her ass in prison.

I recommend she read “Unintended consequences” by John Ross-It will help put the situation in perspective for her...
