Lois Lerner demands secrecy in tea party targeting lawsuit testimony

The IRS manager most directly responsible for the targeting of tea party groups has demanded that her deposition for an upcoiming class action lawsuit related to the scandal be kept secret.

Lois Lerner, former head of the tax exempt department at the IRS, claims that she has received death threats in the past and fears that publicity surrounding her deposition will lead to similar threats.

Washington Times:

Mr. Lerner and Holly Paz, another figure from the IRS tea party targeting, told the judge they’ve already faced “harassment and death threats” before, and said they fear another media firestorm if their version of events from the tea party targeting were to become public.

I don’t have a clue. I would have to hear them to even venture a guess, but you are probably correct, it was Obammy and his make believe mammy. 8>)

She’s liable both civilly and criminally. The question is whether she squeals on others involved in the conspiracy to obstruct justice and destroy evidence.

The use of our intelligence agencies for political purposes raises many questions. I would like the investigation to go back to the 2012 Presidential race and see if these same tactics were used on the Reps in the runup to the election. Also, what other institutions were spied on? SCOTUS? The Fed? The media?

Obama brought the Chicago-way of corruption to the WH. This is the biggest political scandal in American history. Unfortunately, we have a corrupt MSM and a partisan career government bureaucracy that has a vested interest in covering it up.

Demands, she DEMANDS... who does this evil little woman think she is? She is living in "The Twilight Zone" and acts like the presidential election, and Donald Trump's overwhelming victory never took place.

Los Learner is in for a rude awakening; Americans are no longer groveling under the tyranny of the utterly lawless, Obomination and his In-JUST-US Department.

She can try and run and hide and seek to prevent the American people from learning the truth about her myriad of crimes and criminal activities but President Trump and AG Jeff Sessions along with the Trump administration are not going to let her get away with it because "There's a new Sheriff in town" who ran and won on the platform of restoring "law and order", and returning the country, the people and its leaders to complying with "the rule of law".

Lois Learner wants her dastardly secrets to remain hidden not only in order to prevent the truth from coming out but because it will result in numerous criminal charges as well as civil litigation suits being filed against her and her accomplices for monitory damages to the tune of millions of dollars.

She realizes this and she also knows she is going to LOSE "Big Time" and most likely end up in Federal Prison.

I wish she would get the prosecution she deserves and that it drags out for five years of nasty testimony. I hope she is convicted and to get a shorter prison term decides to roll over on those above and abetting her criminality.

If it is always in the news, it serves as a deterrent.

I’d be surprised if she did. The crew she works for would have her killed. It would look like ‘natural causes’, but dead is dead.

A question that hasn’t been asked yet: Did Obama use NSA/CIA/GCHQ intel to identify these these Tea Party people to become IRS targets?

Nice insight, Dave. Looks like Obama gave "Susan the Sifter" yet another job (smirk).

"Get me something damaging on Penguin books for my book deal."
"And get Harvey Einstein's tax returns. Malia needs a job."

Where’s that vid of Lerner being pursued by a Tea Partyer; she bangs on her neighbor’s door but he refuses her entry?

Like a lot of `rats Lois must still think they run the JustUs dept. Wouldn't surprise me if the GOPe truckled to her, but the issue of the IRS systematically discriminating against groups they don't like based on politics is infused with the public interest. Image and video hosting by TinyPic Nobody forced you to be an attack dog Lois. Now, speak girl!

She should be placed in “protective custody” until this is cleaned up.

Anyone who pulled the stunts she did deserves a dirt nap. Okay, maybe life in solitary confinement.

I'll bet she doesn't want her testimony to come out.
Gotta protect Oboob and Cankles, right?

Not that I care AFTER she testifies, but the coincidence is that those who testify against Hussein and the Clintons have very short life expectancies.

Obama probably started the political/criminal acts of using our intel to neuter his poliical opponents shortly after he became president.

The comments by Mad Maxine in 2013 confirms that Obama had enabled Brennen, Holder, Clapper, Lynch and Comedy to spy on us via the Brits/Muscular and ?.

Mad Maxine Waters confirmed Obama’s Big Brother Database in 2013. Which means Obama had been acquiring that database on all of us shortly after he became president.

Seth Rich would heart this if he hadn’t been conveniently murdered.
