Lerner, Paz say they fear physical harm from enraged public, want IRS testimony sealed permanently
The Washington Times ^ | 11/19/2017 | Stephen Dinan

Former IRS executive Lois G. Lerner told a federal court last week that members of her family, including “young children,” face death threats and a real risk of physical harm if her explanation of the tea party targeting scandal becomes public.

...

Ms. Lerner and Holly Paz, her deputy at the IRS, filed documents in court Thursday saying tapes and transcripts of depositions they gave in a court case this year must remain sealed in perpetuity, or else they could spur an enraged public to retaliate.

It’s not the public she fears, it’s the Clinton-Obama DNC Gang that is the danger of Arkancide, ala Seth Rich....................

Hmmmm....perhaps she should have considered the consequences BEFORE violating the civil rights of American citizens UNDER COLOR OF AUTHORITY, instead of doing whatever the eff she felt like and then pleading to be concealed from those consequences. If for no other reason that deterrence of future enablers of tyranny, her request should be denied. Probably should be published in an NYT ad paid for with tax dollars in fact.

If you can’t do the time....

With Ms Learners confession, “that members of her family, including “young children,” face death threats and a real risk of physical harm if her explanation of the tea party targeting scandal becomes public” means that she should already be the target of same.

Why have public hearings? The criminals are the ones who get the private ones.

Or swinging, or had her US citizenship revoked, or some combination of the above.

“She should be sealed in a tight security prison.”

Hey Lois, a spot just opened up here at Corcoran State Prison in California yesterday with the death of Charles Manson! Three hots and a cot here for the rest of your life!

In a day when our President has had to leave the White House in order to have any sort of assurance of confidentiality regarding his own discussions, it’s amazing to me that Lois Lerner somehow believes that her testimony would somehow remain secret forevermore. I guess the ship of state only leaks on one side. Ever wonder why that is, Ms. Lerner? Wouldn’t it be something if conservatives started behaving as you and your compatriots do.

I sincerely hope that she is losing sleep and is very afraid of the consequences of her actions.

Sorry Lois. Doesn’t work that way.
You took the 5th before congress and now you sing.
How does that happen?

I agree. Judges will provide cover for their own. After all, Sessions gave her the free pass in the first place.
