Lois Lerner, the central figure in the IRS scandal, is breaking her silence in an unapologetic interview where she says she's not sorry and maintains she “didn’t do anything wrong” -- despite widely documented evidence that her division targeted conservative groups for extra scrutiny.
The former head of the tax-exempt unit, speaking with Politico, gave her first media interview since the scandal broke 16 months ago. She has twice refused to answer questions before Congress, but used the interview to publicly assert her innocence.
"I know I did the best I could under the circumstances and am not sorry for anything I did," Lerner said.
Lerner, who resigned amid the scandal, spoke at length with Politico, which also spoke to about 20 coworkers and friends in a comprehensive, 3,837-word story on Lerner and the events around the scandal. The profile-style piece at times paints her in a sympathetic light, including personal anecdotes ranging from how she baked brownies for staff to how she put her babysitter's son through college.
However, Lerner, who was joined in the interview by her corporate lawyer husband, Michael Miles, and two personal lawyers, is not quoted extensively in the piece. Her on-the-record comments mainly address her claims that she simply was doing her job and has no regrets.

She is a good little nazi, perfect for the democrip party of today.
No, this is worse. I had relatives on both sides of WWII, The only consequence Lois would have suffered would most likely have been a frown from a superior for refusing to do wrong. German soldiers were faced with immediate execution for willfully disobeying orders. Many people here that say they wouldn’t have taken orders from Nazi officers are,
1. Lying
2. Still lying...
I couldn’t care less if she is sorry or not...I want her PERSECUTED for her part in this scandal.
Not holding my breath however!
I omitted my thoughts concerning Lerner’s scary attitude, but you intimated what I was thinking.
Of course she isn’t sorry, she hates Conservatives, and she was doing what she was told to do by the White House and she was happy to do it
If she “didn’t do anything wrong” why did she plead the 5th?
I’m a forgiving sort, but this is the exception that proves the rule.
Lois Lerner will never be sorry until she is made to be sorry. That will take a real Republican Party to make happen.
I know, I know, good luck with that.
Proverbs 30:20(New International Version)
“This is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth and says, ‘I’ve done nothing wrong.’
Why hasn’t she been arrested and charged? I will tell you because over half of Congress and the DOJ would have to be hand cuffed along with her and hauled away.
They are as guilty as she is and involved right along with her.
Elections have consequences and elections will fix NOTHING....
She is more fearful of Val Jarrett than she is the American people.
Well and now that we know she’s proud of what she did she shouldn’t have any more need to hide behind the fifth-—bring your hard drive you snivelling beeyeitch and tell us whatchu got?
...maybe even prosecuted. sigh....
Again, she’s putting up a defense which if I understand correctly voids any claim of 5 amendment rights...
Her type raised the Third Reich to a genocidal frenzy. She is evil to her black core, a dead soul serving evil as her calling in life.
See The 1942 The Wannsee Conference for accurate portrayal of this female’s type.

So much for pleading the fifth...
