Ms. Lerner, she needs a fixin'

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. Ms. Lerner has refused to talk in public about her role in the targeting, famously engaging in a showdown with the

overreact for great justice...
Ms. Lerner, she needs a fixin'
Death threats? She killed many applicants’ chances of obtaining 501(c)(3) status because of their perceived political bent.
Interesting Liz... All of the above you mentioned, especially those of modest means, would have sought pro-Bono legal assistance to fight the leviathan. Those I have been affiliated with in the Conservative Movement are playing with a full deck and making threats is not in their wheelhouse. Are their loose cannons? Probably, but it has me leaning towards either it is whining on her part or “her” side is doing it to make us look bad....
Someone might shank her in the shower or the lunch line.
Life in solitary sounds about right. . .
REMEMBER?
Candidate Obama said tea parties are a “threat to democracy.”
Valerie Jarrett said they “would not forget” which Americans did not worship Obama.
Obama told latinos we will reward our friends and “punish our enemies.”

Idiot liberal jounralis
“facing the possibility of death threats” is not the same as “faced death threats”
The only death threats she should have been receiving should have come from her fellow Prison Inmates.
PROVE IT, WITCH!! And just an FYI-she tried to plead the fifth and then ‘testified’, without being under oath, the she had ‘done nothing wrong’. THE PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT THEIR EMPLOYEES ARE DOING, RIGHT OR WRONG!
Boo hoo hoo- how does the old country song go? ‘Here’s a quarter, call someone who cares’....what’s the area code in Tahiti? Ohhh never mind....
grandpa told me; “think before you do something that you don’t want others to know about, maybe you shouldn’t do it.
It’s called taking responsibility, Lois.
PROVE IT!
The tight-skinned shriveled up old hag should be in jail now.
Man, I didn't make that connection.
That might be the very definition of "chutzpah".
Oh mine weren’t death threats, they were sacred oaths.
Those liars. It’s the “poor me I’m the victim” scam that Leftists always trot out when caught. Besides,Satan isn’t ready for her yet.
Didn’t she have caller ID? How hard was it to find out who made the calls?
Prison would make a nice “safe space” for her. Not too many Tea Party types in Federal Prisons.
She’s probably hired a company to open up anonymous e-mail accounts just so she can send herself death threats.
“the possibility of death threats?” Pretty weak argument if you ask me.
