(CNSNews.com) - Today is not about Lois Lerner or the alleged inappropriate tactics she may have employed," Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Thursday. "Today is about protecting the integrity and the credibility of this committee."
Speier accused Republicans of fabricating a "vast conspiracy" around a "mid-level bureaucrat who may have made some poor decisions."
"There is no connection to the White House," she said. "What we are trying to do is hold in contempt a mid-level bureaucrat, and the actions of this committee won't stand up to judicial scrutiny."

That’s OK, a mid level bureaucrat can go to jail if she doesn’t want to talk.

Lois Lerner has been making “bad” decisions for years now. There is a pattern of predatory shaking down of political rivals.

so either
1. government like the IRS is completely unaccountable ( it is also that)
or
2. Obama is in control of the IRS and ordered the IRS to keep conservative groups from raising money during the election( this is true too)

Speier accused Republicans of fabricating a "vast conspiracy" around a "mid-level bureaucrat who may have made some poor decisions." The vast conspiracy is a FEDERAL agency targeting specific groups of citizens to gain party power.
It's not just Louis Lerner. It's the whole G-damn federal government.

Speier: Lois Lerner Just a 'Mid-Level Bureaucrat' -- 'No Connection to the White House' Maybe, but Monica Lewinsky was "just an intern".

Quoting from the Democrat’s strategy book: they are only accountable, or in this case, not accountable when you are in power. Who cares about what is right and wrong.

Lerner has to be worried for her safety. The future of the democrat party depends on her silence.
