More to Learn about Lerner's Abuses

Recall that as head of the Enforcement Office at the FEC, it seems that Lois Lerner spearheaded the harassment of conservative groups, specifically the Christian Coalition.

Well, according to George Will, Lois Lerner had her finger in at least one other pie, specifically the US Senate race between Democrat Dick Durbin and Republican Al Salvi:

In the fall of 1996, at the campaign's climax, Democrats filed with the Federal Elections Commission charges alleging campaign finance violations by Salvi's campaign. These charges dominated the campaign's closing days. Salvi spoke by phone with the head of the FEC's Enforcement Division, who he remembers saying: "Promise me you will never run for office again, and we'll drop this case." He was speaking to Lois Lerner.

After losing to Durbin, Salvi spent four years and $100,000 fighting the FEC, on whose behalf FBI agents visited his elderly mother demanding to know, concerning her $2,000 contribution to her son's campaign, where she got "that kind of money." When the second of two federal courts held that the charges against Salvi were spurious, the lawyer arguing for the FEC was Lois Lerner.

If, indeed, Holly Paz has been fired, why is Lois Lerner still on (taxpayer-paid) administrative leave?

The Government Oversight and Reform Committee should call in the Christian Coalition, Al Salvi, and anyone else who has been victimized by Lerner, hear their stories, and then call her back to respond. Would she take the Fifth (again)?!

Indeed in spades. The question of the day for sure.

This administration is the nightmare we have been trying to warn America about for years.

What is it with that stance? I’ve seen Obama make that same frowny face, head back, eyes slitted look numerous times.

Who is the Madam LaFarge knitting behind her in some of the videos I have seen? She drops her knitting to clap when HiLo tells the committee to shove it.

CONNECT THE DOTS: Obama's stranglegold on Treasury via COS Rahm Emanuel's dual role

THE TARGETING PAPER TRAIL BEGINS: Soon as they occupied the WH, Obama and the Chicago con artists (a) took control of the US Census; (b) Obama placed his COS Rahm Emanuel in control of the US Dept of the Treasury (the IRS).

==========================================

THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move.

When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings of the Treasury that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials. Reported by WSJ / 05/31/09

More here: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124113406528875137.html

========================================

The meticulously researched timelines posted here, and elsewhere on FR, are significant since they chronicle the times the Tea Party began heating up---holding massive rallies, and showing up at townhalls to protest Obamacare.

The arrogant, self-entitled Obamatons surely went ballistic. Does not take much imagination to know the WH con artists were thinking up demonic ways to stop the Tea Partiers who stood in their path.

SIGNIFICANT Remember that the Obamatons also took over the census. When Rahm Emanuel landed at Treasury, he had all the tools at his disposal to target individuals, tea parties, patriot groups, and so on.

=======================================

NOW HEAR THIS---CONTACT YOUR CONGRESSMAN AND THE LOCAL MEDIA WITH THIS MESSAGE: All of the Treasury factotums doing Rahm's bidding need to be identified and brought before Congress to testify under oath. We need to know the specifics WRT Emanuel's activities at Treasury including dates and times when Emanuel consorted w/ the IRS.

MOMENTS TO REMEMBER Obama was fond of saying "Tea Parties are a threat to democracy."

Obama told Hispanics "we will punish our enemies, and reward our friends."

Valerie Jarrett ominously warned, they "would not forget" which Americans did not worship Obama.

Satan really hates Christ.

Satan’s people really hate Christ’s people.

Americans don't like to think there are plenty in the upper echelons of our government who would, if they could get away with it, march every freeper off to the rice fields. These people see us as standing in the way of social justice. Just get rid of their enemies and they can get on with establishing Utopia. Lerner has spent her life hating us and getting paid handsomely to do so. She represents the perfect bureaucrat, totally devoid of guilt and 100% focused on her work to destroy us with any means at her disposal.
