Lois Lerner wants IRS testimony sealed forever, fearing death threats

[captain_kook]

That's nonsense.

[D2D]

The Trump administration, after years of litigation, has settled lawsuits with Tea Party and other conservative groups who say they were unfairly targeted by the IRS under the Obama administration.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced early Thursday that the Justice Department had entered into settlements with Tea Party groups whose tax-exempt status was significantly delayed by the IRS dating back to 2013, “based solely on their viewpoint or ideology.”
The settlements involve payments to the plaintiffs and an apology from the IRS.
The targeting scandal drew heavy attention in 2013 when the IRS admitted it applied extra scrutiny to conservative groups applying for nonprofit status. Lois Lerner, then head of the Exempt Organizations unit responsible, became the public face of the scandal, though other IRS officials were involved as well.

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION made the deal.

But there was no deal to be made- it's a con:






Who Cares That There Was Never a Scandal At the IRS?
 

We All Should
by Neil H. Buchanan
OCTOBER 09, 2017
Do you remember "the IRS scandal"?
 



If you do, you remember a lie.
 



Granted, it was an elaborate, innuendo-driven lie
 

that many people repeated endlessly,
 

trying to get you to believe that there was a scandal.
 



But it was still a lie, and a damaging one at that.
 



The reason to revisit this issue now
 

is that the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA)
 

issued a report last week that showed that the supposedly scandalous behavior
 

never happened.
 


In other words, the central lie behind this non-scandal has been definitively undermined.


In the meantime, Republicans continue to use the IRS non-scandal
 

as a reason to "punish" the agency with further cuts to its budget.
 


Even if the Republicans cannot get their act together this year
to cut taxes for rich people and corporations,
 

they can continue to achieve the same end
 

by making it all but impossible for the IRS to catch tax cheats.


The Republicans will never admit that there was no scandal.
 



The Democrats will never make a concerted effort to educate the public.
 


And the press will continue to say that it is all very complicated and that the two sides disagree.
 


It is a beautifully closed system, with the only losers being the American people,
 

who need the IRS to be able to continue to do its job.

GOP Surrenders Cherished   IRS   Scandal at Last Bloomberg - TODAY ^^^^ The   IRS   scandal came to a pathetic, whimpering conclusion earlier this month.   The fiction served the GOP for years, yet died quietly this month, forsaken and alone.   Contrary to the Republican story, the IRS never targeted conservatives.   The IRS targeted politics, which was pretty much what it was supposed to do.

Lois Lerner:  Lock her up!

[chuck_curtis]

If she fears death threats, she must have admitted to IRS targeting.

[dont-blameme]

The bitch and bastards done Obama's biddings and now they want protection, how much protection did they allow the people that were their targets, to hell with the bitch and bastards!
