Newly released emails show that Lois G. Lerner, the woman at the center of the IRS scandal over special scrutiny of conservative groups applications for tax-exempt status, specifically targeted tea party applications and directed they be held up in 2011 in order to come up with an agency policy.
The email, released by a House committee investigating the IRS, seems to counter Democrats arguments that tea party groups werent specifically targeted.

Tea Party Matter very dangerous, Ms. Lerner said in the 2011 email, saying that those applications could end up being the vehicle to go to court to get more clarity on a 2010 Supreme Court ruling on campaign finance rules.
In another email, from 2012, Ms. Lerner acknowledges that the agencys handling of the tax-exempt applications had been bungled at the beginning, though she said they had taken steps to correct it.
It is what it is, she said in the email, released Thursday by the Ways and Means Committee. Although the original story isnt as pretty as wed like, once we learned this [sic.] were off track, we have done what we can to change the process, better educate our staff and move the cases. So, we will get dinged, but we took steps before the dinging to make things better and we have written procedures.

So who is going to do anything about it,huh? The commies have won.
Unless and until there is a serious deterrent, there will be no letup from these deranged filth.

Thats where she lives. How come they dont get their homes picketed the way the freaks on the left do to conservatives?"
Perhaps a million bikers should add an additional stop on their tour?
That’s why she asserted her Fifth Amendment right...
“The Federal apparatus is full of Lois Lerners,
and they are accountable to no one”
In my previous job, I did deal with one Federal agency where everyone I met were so law abiding it was a breath of fresh air.
It was Defense Mapping (don’t know if it is still called that) and these men were so honest they would not even allow me to pay for a cup of coffee less it appear to be a bribe.
I cannot say the same about any other Federal agency that I had contact with.
It is almost like finding the Peaceful Muslim to find an honest and effective Federal employee.
The Rinos are creating a lot of sympathy for the Tea Party. I am teetering on the edge of joining them.
I agree.
Yes Obama would pardon her on his way out the door. So would it make sense to try her after that time?
Ideally, she needs to be made to sing and they are saying now...these emails lead right back to the White House. If that is the case then she could bring down not just 0bama, but the whole upper echelon of the democrat party.
I don’t trust the fearful Republicans to do anything of significance so I doubt they will bring her back.
waterboard her ass til she gives up the muzzie.
