Lois Lerner says she is no Jeffrey Dahmer.
The former Internal Revenue Service official referenced the infamous cannibalistic serial killer as she broke her silence for the first time about last years IRS scandal.
Lerner told the website Politico that she has been the recipient of threats and hate mail, describing how one person called her the worst person ever in the United States.
I just thought, Boy, worse than Jeffrey Dahmer? Lerner quipped.
Lerner, who led the tax-exempt division of the IRS, was forced out of the agency after she found herself at the center of the scandal over the agencys targeting of conservative groups for special review in their applications for non-profit status.
In May, the House of Representatives held Lerner in contempt for refusing to testify about her role in the scandal after telling Congress she was innocent of wrongdoing.
During the interview with Politico, Lerner was still defiant: I didnt do anything wrong. Im proud of my career and the job I did for this country.
Added Lerner: Regardless of whatever else happens, I know I did the best I could under the circumstances and am not sorry for anything I did.
Lerner described how tough the last year has been she has been attacked as a dirty Jew and the threats have been serious enough to warrant protection from federal agents but she refused to discuss her role in targeting conservative groups.
She studiously avoided answering fundamental questions about her role in the IRS scandal that could land her in deeper trouble with Congress, Politico explained.
The story noted that Lerner is having trouble finding work to help pay her legal fees. Still, she receives an annual $100,000 pension from the government, a congressional investigator told the outlet.
Much has been made of Lerners apparent pro-Democratic Party leanings. The story noted how Lerner wrote emails detailing her opposition to the Supreme Courts Citizens United decision a favorite cause of liberals and praising legislation proposed by Democratic Rep. Chris Van Hollen.
But Lerner claimed in the interview that she is not a political person.
What matters is that my personal opinions have never affected my work, she said.
Understanding how toxic she is, Lerner declined to name the organizations she has been volunteering for because: I feel like having my name attached does nothing but cause issues for people.
Every democrat criminal eventually plays the victim card.
She has a conscience “eating away” at her for her evil deeds?
Lois Lerner compares her deeds to those of Jeffrey Dahmer!
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
Lois Lerner Compares Herself to Jeffrey Dahmer
Shows how mentally twisted she is.
Dahmer was evil, but only affected his immediate neighborhood
And he was ‘dispatched” in prison.
lerner, on the other hand, not only affected our entire nation, but undermined the faith and credibility of America to those who loved America the most.
She is worse.
Dahmer would be insulted.
You didn’t kill kids, but you killed integrity, ma’am.
Hopefully, someone can arrange for her to be on broom detail in prison
Reminds me of that joke about Clinton and Gore. “Hey Al,” says Bill, “What do you think of the dog I got for my wife?” Replies Al, “Nice trade, Mr. President.”
She probably has conservatives cut up in her freezer.
Well, I would agree with her powers of self observation. The mirror is an ugly pause for her.
Try that next time a cop comes to your car window, just blurt out “I’m not like Jeffrey Dahmer!!” it really relieves the tension.
In terms of total damage done?
Yes, much worse.
Maybe she does. I find it odd that she even mentioned his name in trying to defend her acts. She is a weirdo among other things and she may be a serial killer after all.
She used the power of the federal government to target political enemies. She’d be more at home in North Korea than here...
Ha, ha, ha. What a funny "quip." She undermined trust in government for half of the nation. She abused the authority of the agency that can ruin you in the snap of a finger. She turned her thugs loose on people who still believe in freedom and liberty. Her actions alone have corroded out the foundation of our government.
No, Lerner. You are a million times worse than Dahmer.
Dahmer killed and ate a few people. Many families were affected. (S)Lowest Learner disenfranchised many thousands of people and may have thrown an election. If so this means that all the deaths from ISIS are on her hands as Romney would not have pulled us out of Iraq allowing ISIS to “blossom” into this deadly incarnation of Satanism and murder. Nor would Romney have jumped to blame Assad for the chem weapons and offered at least moral support to the seed of ISIS. This administration is on track to be party to more murders than Hitler. I think their goal may be to pass Stalin, but I don’t think they will have time to do that unless they institute Martial Law and suspend the ‘16 elections.
