Shady former IRS official Lois Lerner has been the prime operative of one of the biggest IRS scandals in history. Lerner purposely targeted Tea Parties across the country as well as other conservative groups.
The IRS Scandal involves:
•At least 292 conservative groups targeted
•At least 5 pro-Israel groups targeted
•Constitutional groups targeted
•Groups that criticized Obama administration were targeted
•At least two pro-life groups targeted
•A Texas voting-rights group was targeted
•Conservative activists and businesses were targeted
•At least 88 IRS agents were involved in the targeting scandal
•At least one conservative Hispanic group was targeted
•IRS continued to target groups even after the scandal was exposed
Now, newly released emails between Lois Lerner and her colleagues reveal she was targeting Tea Party groups and referred to them as “very dangerous”. Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) is calling for criminal penalties against Lois Lerner for lying to congress.
Daily Caller reported:
House Ways and Means chairman Rep. Dave Camp vowed that “there will be consequences” after revealing secret emails that embattled Washington-based IRS official Lois Lerner sent to her colleagues suggesting collusion between the IRS and Democratic operatives and claiming that tea party applications should not be processed through the agency’s Cincinnati office.
“Tea Party Matter very dangerous… Counsel and Judy Kindell need to be in on this one… Cincy should probably NOT have these cases,” Lerner said in a February 2011 email, despite the fact that IRS officials initially claimed that the agency’s Cincinnati office was solely responsible for the improper targeting of tea party and conservative groups.
“Perhaps the FEC will save the day,” Lerner said in an email, responding to a complaint the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee registered with the Federal Elections Commission. The IRS and FEC reportedly collaborated on tea party targeting.
“There is increasing and overwhelming evidence that Lois Lerner and high-level IRS employees in Washington were abusing their power to prevent conservative groups from organizing and carrying out their missions. There are still mountains of documents to go through, but it is clear the IRS is out of control and there will be consequences,” Camp said.
The IRS did not immediately return a request for comment, but is “working on a statement.”
The Hill has more on the story.
Exceptionalism.
The US Congress does not care. EVER.
In America we the people are supposed to be over them so we should imprison these democrat scum
Grand Jury time.
Get her to talk and you’ll find that this goes up to the IMPOTUS
Commie Bitch.
Fine, but what I want is that this really goes somewhere and people do jail time. and heavily fined.
Prison time.......for those that exposed her.
VOTER SUPRESSION!!!!
This proves that Obama ordered the IRS to rig the election for Obama and democrats in the Congress
Impeach Obama and Lerner
Why aren’t the conservative media , Rush, Palin, Coulter,Savage, Levin , Malkin etc. shouting this from the rooftops? we have no leaders
Lois is a cupid stunt....
Wake me up if the House Republicans decide to do something. Anything.
Yea, nothing happens & the fools are elected again.
At least Levin gets it. In the midst of the "Syrian Crisis," Levin stated that (paraphrasing), "Look, I don't want to talk about Syria, but I'm getting pressure from the affiliates. I have to talk about it a little bit. But that's all I'm going to do. This is a distraction from what's important: amnesty, Obamacare, and the deficit. The fact that this is all that the media covers is a testimony to their pathetic state as Obama's water-carriers."
"We ultimately, of course, hold PresidentAssadØbama responsible for the use ofchemical weaponsthe IRS by his regime against his own people, regardless of where the command and control lies," [Spokesclown Marie] Harf said.
The Marxist coup has silenced the ‘good’ CongressCritters.. The NSA has everything on everyone.
Now can we prosecute her for perjury?

Don’t you mean “run her for Congress as a Democrat wherever she’s originally from” or some such.
She could spill her guts but it won’t go all the way to obama. I doubt obama has ever met the woman. But I also doubt this woman was the “rogue” agent they were talking about. This goes above her paygrade.
