Lois Lerner cites years-old threats to keep her IRS activities secret
Washington Times ^ | December 1, 2017 | Stephen Dinan

The threats that former IRS senior executive Lois G. Lerner says are serious enough to keep her court depositions forever secret date back to 2014, and she hasn’t shown any new threats, according to new court documents filed late Thursday.

Ms. Lerner and her key deputy, Holly Paz, have demanded a judge forever seal their depositions and parts of any documents that mention those depositions, saying they fear for their safety.

But the harassment they point to as evidence is more than three years old and dates back to the most heated days of the debate over the IRS’s illegal targeting of tea party groups for intrusive scrutiny, according to new documents opposing the secrecy request.

She hid the crime she and the Obama administration committed. Now she is so afraid. She never wants her testimony examined.

She is afraid more things she did will be uncovered. Things that could actually send her to jail.

Publish the stuff far and wide. Any chance it would be a deterrent to some other liberal air-headed clueless one to do a treasonous stunt like that would be all to the good.

Besides, there might be one or two in 5,000 liberal vacuum heads that might be given pause for sobering thought.

Can’t have history books covering the corruptions and abuse of power by those in the Obama administration. A partisan witchhunt and biased application of bureaucratic obstruction to win elections by suppressing the vote.

So surprised, with all the ‘random’ leaks, that none of that has come out.

Absolutely indeed.

Perhaps just prior to being tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail . . .

Or, perhaps just prior to being tried, convicted and sentenced for treason.

Gads I hate the massive amount of treason in our era.

The Constitution, to me, is far more than "just a piece of paper" Bush declared it to be. GRRR.

People often claim “death threats” but seldom produce them. What does she interpret as a death threat? Is “Go to hell, lady,” a death threat? “Drop dead”? Are there really any serious “death threats” at all?

They should take a look at the sources of the threats; most if not all threats come from the left and lawless Democrats.

If it IS that bad, stand her up in front of the Capitol steps and shoot her in the head. If she committed treason or helped someone else do it I want their heads on pikes in the reflecting pool.

I believe you are correct.

That is not how the FBI and BLM views the “threat”. They try to convince people that home grown right wing terrorists are a bigger threat. Which is nonsense.

Why would they do that? It is part of the ComDem agenda. They see that they can never win over rural traditionalists, so they try to limit their influence.

Same with Tea Party.
