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’s tea party targeting, told the judge they’ve already faced “harassment and death threats” before, when the press was intently covering the tea party scandal. “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.
Both Ms. Lerner and Ms. Paz are among IRS figures who’ve been ordered to be deposed in the class action lawsuit. Ms. Paz already gave one deposition in the case in 2015. The women want that past deposition, and their future testimony, to remain hidden from the public and only available to the lawyers involved in the case. They asked that the seal be permanent.

Oh how scary it is to be a criminal!!
Right out of page 17 of the liberal liar’s manual: When your crimes have been discovered and you’re facing potential charges, be the victim.
Maybe she can ask for lifetime Secret Service protection, like the creep who ordered her to commit the crimes.
Well, is she was doing what was RIGHT, she needs to rejoice in her suffering, is what Jesus said.
That’s the way I read it too.
If true (which I doubt), why is she still breathing and collecting a pension?
/// WHILE I deplore the making of death threats, especially against a woman, ///
Especially?
My exposure to feminism, hypergamy, and misandry and taking the Red Pill, has resulted in me having no particular sympathy for women.
I, for one, unlike TradCons, do not worship the Golden Vagina, nor will I wear a “P*ssy hat” like the SJWs.
She is just more proof that “the Man” still acts just “the Man”, even when “the Man” is a woman.
Good point about the extra-legal responses. When certain parties cut off avenues for recourse and justice, what is left is extra-legal responses — otherwise known as “sow the wind, reap the whirlwind”.
I hope she is treated like a pile of stinky chicken poo EVERYWHERE she goes and she should be in prison
Speaking of “Mister Lerner”, you do remember that his company got at least one sweetheart contract when Ms. Lerner was illegally protecting BHO & Co.?
Protect her. Put her in jail....for life.
EXACTLY!
Yup...a little apartment just outside Kansas City.
Both of them belong in prison.
And I’m being nice.

Lock her up.
Release the deposition.
Why is she mot in prison?
She took the Fifth and wants her testimony sealed? Chutzpah is the only word I can think of.
Lois Lerner should be in jail, and I hope under Trump she will end up at least losing her pension.
