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.

The government should fear its people.

Her proposal is acceptable - her freedom in exchange for sealing of the testimony.

She didn’t help herself by coming across as an arrogant, untouchable bureaucrat during her testimony.

Put them both in protective custody ... federal prison.

Angry mobs: what happens when government obstructs justice.

So, what has Lerner admitted that we don’t already know about? Must be horrendous. Her desire to hide her testimony (to say “hide the truth” would put optimism over experience) is the best possible argument for publishing it.

Lerner is a pos.

Should be in prison for a variety of charges.

Address to Lord Lovelace
Governor Lewis Morris, March 12, 1708/9

As Ravens and Night-owls their Voices betray
So Asses are certainly known when they bray.
And Spight of the Noise and bustle they’ve made
Mankind will believe that a Spade is a Spade.
That Bullies and Bankrupts, and Men without Store
Dull wretches that have not one Virtue or More,
The Pests of the Country, whose Practice has been
To flatter the Governor, and Lie to the Queen,
Have right to no favour in a Well-govern’d State
But to Swing in an Halter, or peep through a Grate.

Which tells you just how bad her testimony must read.

The Left makes all the death threats. Their real concern should be where to find decorating tips for an 8 x 10 cell (in the unlikelihood actual justice ever catches up with them).

If this is true then she should be charged, plead guilty, and go to a nice safe prison.

Good, she needs to fear for her life. And all the rest of her ilk at the IRS.

FU IRS!

The fear by her and her family is precisely why the transcripts must be released.

She should never feel safe, for even a minute, again.

I think providing ms Lerner a one way ticket to the leftest paradise of Venezuela would be appropriate. She’d be safe there.

And she’d get to enjoy the benefits of rights suppression that she so admires.

There's a nice safe place for you - solitary confinement for the rest of your life.
