Lois Lerner: ‘Exceedingly low’ public interest in her IRS testimony

Former IRS senior executive Lois G. Lerner told a federal court last week that there’s “no legitimate” reason why the public should see her testimony about her role in tea party targeting, pleading with a judge to keep her deposition permanently sealed.

Ms. Lerner and her former chief lieutenant, Holly Paz, have said they faced death threats in the past, and say they fear any more attention to their behavior would spur a new round of harassment.

They said there’s “exceedingly low” public interest in having their depositions released, and they said tea party groups are pushing for disclosure out of “spite.”

“The public disclosure of this personal and sensitive information and details of the harassment would further no legitimate end while undermining substantial privacy and physical safety interests,” the women said in briefs filed by their lawyers.

What a lewd-female-anatomical-referent.

Pay the piper corrupt treasonous bw**ch. You made the bed, lie in it.

[Oshkalaboomboom]

If there is such low interest then why is Lois worried? Nobody will care enough to read it.

[Nateman]

She SHOULD face the public wrath. She weaponized the IRS. I hope this rotten witch faces every day in terror for what she did.

[FredZarguna]

Why would the details of her behavior in her capacity as a public servant be "personal and sensitive?"

The claim that taxpayers who want to know what illegal acts were committed by her or at her direction is nothing but "spite" is equally preposterous.

Public malfeasance shouldn't be swept under the rug for the benefit of its perpetrators.

She is looking at having her fanny sued off!

Who in their right mind, would that fat, ugly fanny? 😁

[Fhios]

Sounds like somebody is ashamed of themselves.

[JockoManning]

That would be fine with me. Well deserved and then some.

I’m. Rey of nterested in what this Bitch has stated.

[zek157]

I also hate auto spelling.

[trustandobey]

I am hugely interested. Who can we call?

[ratzoe]

She’s in my top 3, along with Hillary and Obama that I want to see in jail. Our taxes paid her salary so we have every right to see her testimony.

[FES0844]

Don’t forget smirking, condescending Koskinen.

[Ann Archy]

I want them in PRISON where they BELONG!

[Texas Eagle]

Worst attempt at a Jedi mind trick ever, Lowest Learner. Lock her up!

[\/\/ayne]

It’s simple, lady. Just sign a confession, go to jail for a long period of time and people won’t be mad at you anymore! Simple.

[Rocky]

There must be a way (petition perhaps?) that we could show the judge that there is public interest in this matter.

Briefs, or no Briefs.

She operated in anonymity, now she fears disclosure

[Flick Lives]

Maybe Lerner should be in prison. For her own protection.
