The Internal Revenue Service said Monday that Lois G. Lerner, the woman at the center of the tea party targeting scandal, has resigned from the agency — though because of privacy rules it could say nothing more.

Ms. Lerner, who had been on paid administrative leave, was the director of the division that reviewed the applications for tax-exempt status from political groups over the past few years and that, according to an internal audit, gave extra scrutiny to tea party and other conservative groups.

Rides off on her broom just in time for Halloween.

She needs to spend her remaining decades on the public dole in the fed pen.

[Rusty0604]

She’ll be in the fed pen alright as in federal pension.

[Uncle Miltie]

Federal Penitentiary is the only “retirement” she deserves.

[FlingWingFlyer]

She’ll probably get her own “finance” show on PMSNBC.

[Sarah Barracuda]

GOOD RIDDANCE..now I wonder who will be next in line to take over screwing Conservatives at the IRS..Commies are like cockroaches, you get rid of one, there is always another one ready to take it’s place

[crosslink]

Keep your eyes out for where she lands, College Dean? Non-Profit head? NGO director? she will be highly paid for her silence.

[livius]

Can she still be made to testify and even charged for her activities, I wonder?

[Servant of the Cross]

Remember Scooter Libby!!!

[SeekAndFind]

And how much does she gets in pension?

[Cowboy Bob]

Just because she retired doesn’t mean she’s exempt from prosecution. She waived the fifth...

[Paladin2]

K Street.

[M Kehoe]

What is the Fed statute of limitations for perjury?

What is the Fed statute of limitations for treason?

I know the answer to the second question, it was rhetorical.

Twitter post: Neal Boortz‏@Talkmaster36m Lois Lerner quitting IRS? Fine ... but prosecute her anyway. And tell the jerk who covered for her to go as well.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Can she be sued personally?

[ExTexasRedhead]

She might head up the Dictator’s Death Panels, ya think?

[Tenacious 1]

She had to retire so Obama could be prepared to nominate her to the SCOTUS.

[Las Vegas Dave]

Keep your eyes out for where she lands

Obamacare CEO??

[LibLieSlayer]

I do believe that she can.

LLS

[Jim Robinson]

Hopefully, she’ll look good in orange.

[MinuteGal]

Does she continue to get her pension (our money) if she's living in Club Fed for the next 20 years?

Leni

[jtal]

That’s what I was wondering. We The Harassed get to continue to pay her fat federal pension.

[Blood of Tyrants]

And the RINOs sweep the whole matter undr the rug.

[crosslink]

David Brook is looking for a new CFO, she will have to double as a body guard LOL

[Regulator]

though because of privacy rules it could say nothing more

Oh Right.

Her privacy is Sacred.

The privacy of "teabaggers" and "right wing extremists" as she and her ilk refer to anyone to the right of Joe Stalin is entirely negotiable, and usually ignored.

[Signalman]

“And how much does she gets in pension?”

I’m a fed retiree myself (Defense Dept., FAA) and based on her grade and likely years of service, I would guess somewhere in the neighborhood of 85K-95K/yr. An educated guess.

[Bronzewound]

Now that she is no longer an IRS employee, I wonder if all the tea party groups she screwed can sue her?

[Hotlanta Mike]

And she though that she was going to get immunity in exchange for any cooperation. Looks more like the length of her sentencing will be based on any cooperation she can provide in nailing anyone at the White House.

[4yearlurker]

Great. This hag gets to live like a fat rat off the taxpayers dime for the rest of her days.

[SeekAndFind]

RE: I would guess somewhere in the neighborhood of 85K-95K/yr. An educated guess.

Sheeesh, I can understand why she retired. With that kind of pension, I’d retire too. Why endure all the aggravation?

Now, what we really need is to make sure she doesn’t get to enjoy retirement for what she did. What about calling her back to the witness stand?

[livius]

Here’s hoping!

[livius]

I don’t know if she can be sued for something she did in the course of her job. I think she could go to jail for it, though...

[Bronzewound]

even better

[LibLieSlayer]

You betcha!

[burghguy]

Why not. Obama’s administration has thrown her under the bus and stated that there actions were taken without their approval (i.e. that they didn't order her to treat conservative groups differently). It seems to me she went beyond the scope of her employment and as such is liable for her actions on a civil basis. Her defense would be that she was probably following orders. Someone needs to make her admit it.

[VRWC For Truth]

Lerner should be swapping recipes with Manning and Hasan at Leavenworth.

[CPT Clay]

Lois, you &itch.

[newnhdad]

unless she’s on a witness stand pointing her finger at Obama, she useless.

[relentlessly]

The article states “Her departure marks the first person to pay a significant price in the scandal”.

I’ve no idea how old she is, but she’s no spring chicken that’s for sure. So, what is the ‘significant price’? I’m sure she has a comfortable federal pension. I suggest some jail time.

[immadashell]

She now becomes the front runner for the next head of the DNC.

[immadashell]

In RATland you can't be fired for following orders.

[Ann Archy]

She NEEDS to be in PRISON!!!!! PAGING DARRELL ISSA!! This is an IN YOUR FACE moment.

[Rodney Dangerfield]

“Tea Party Scandal”?

No bias here...

The media has dropped any shred of appearing unbiased.

Lerner gets a full pension and likely escapes any punishment, just like anyone else involved in this “Tea Party Scandal”

Obama figures if he just stalls long enough on the other scandals, he will escape clean as well.

Hard to get any traction with a fully enabling and complicit media.

FUBO and your Tranny wife.

[Rockitz]

Let the civil lawsuits against her begin. Take every nickel she has ever earned and will earn in her retirement. I want to see her whoring in Detroit at the end of this.

[Rockitz]

Gotta make sure the prosecution begins after Zero leaves office. She’s at the top of his list for pardons.

[Beave Meister]

Ding Dong.

[Lmo56]

Natch ...

[M-cubed]

Good Point!....I hope all of them sue her till her government pension is gone and she’s in Sec 8 housing and on food stamps.....
