Lock Up Lois Lerner
American Thinker.com ^ | November 23, 2017 | Daniel John Sobieski

Well, isn’t that rich? Lois Lerner, who almost singlehandedly weaponized the IRS, turning into a bludgeon to be used against Tea Party and other groups in the 2012 reelection campaign of Barack Obama, now wants to be protected against threats and intimidation from the groups and people she helped threaten and intimidate:

Former IRS official Lois Lerner and her deputy are asking a federal court to keep their testimonies in the Tea Party targeting case private forever, over fear of death threats and potential harm to their families if the documents go public.

Lerner and her deputy Holly Paz filed a motion last Thursday to keep the materials -- including tapes and transcripts of their depositions -- sealed due to threats they have received in the past.

Court documents, reviewed by Fox News, said the “public dissemination of their deposition testimony would expose them and their families to harassment and a credible risk of violence and physical harm.”…

Lerner and Paz pointed to comments from Tea Party leader Mark Meckler that the lawsuit would “treat the IRS like the criminal thugs they are.” The court filing argued that his comments have created a “fertile environment where threats” against them have “flourished.”

Only the lawless Lois Lerner would feel threatened by legal proceedings initiated by her abuse of government power. Calling her and her IRS co-conspirators “criminal thugs” is not a threat but an understatement. What she fears is not violence but that the truth about her crimes, what she did and what she got away with, will be finally and fully known and that she would no longer be able to hide behind a bogus and fraudulent Fifth Amendment pleading before Congress.

I would scarcely lament her demise.
The demisier the demise, the less the lament.

“who almost singlehandedly weaponized the IRS”

Wrong, right out of the gate. This kind of high treason doesn’t happen in a vacuum. She was the rule not the exception. It’s what happens when you put true-believing marxists, maoists & muslims in charge of the executive branch.

This sounds a lot like “If Republicans found out what I really did to them, they wouldn’t like me! So don’t tell them!”

The problem is that all the true-believers know what they are expected to do, so there are never any orders from the top instructing them on how to subvert the country. Hitler never issued a single written order to destroy Jewery in Europe. It’s a lot like Islam...the “lone wolf” theory is a crock because they are all members of the same murderous cult and know what is expected of them.

Is Jewery a word?

I’m also pretty sure that there were written orders from high ranking Nazi officials. Whether they came from Hitler or not is a different story, but he knew about them and instigated them at the least.

They called it the Final Solution.

I think that she fears that the truth about her crimes will come out. What the IRS did was unconscionable and absolutely criminal. Both she and Obama should be put in jail for their gross misuse of government assets.

It is a high crime for any political party to use the infinite power of the government against a particular group. There was a time when even the thought that a political party would use government agencies to suppress their political enemies, was unbelievable.

We became a banana republic under Obama, that would have gotten worse with a Hillary regime.

Not only did Obama use the IRS against conservatives and Republicans, but he used the BLM, DoJ, EPA, DoD, and other agencies that we have yet to learn about against his own people!

You have no idea how close we came to becoming a totalitarian government. Thanks to the failure of the Democrats to realize that they were vulnerable to an election loss, they left in place all the corruption and corrupt people (Deep State) for the Trump Administration to root out, fumigate, and cleanse our government of Democrats, communists, and GOPe, so our nation can once again breath freely, and be great again.
