Awe, really? I mean, I'd like to say I feel bad for them, but........

Lois Lerner, Holly Paz want testimony sealed permanently

Lerner should be in prison

 

[Auld Phart]

If she has nothing to hide, no reason to have them sealed

 

[mdk]

I bet they do. lol

 

[Bob Blaylock]

Under no circumstances should “fear [of] physical harm from enraged public” be accepted as an excuse to cover up the misconduct of a public official. If they didn't want to have the public pissed-off at them, possibly to the point of violence, then they should have thought about that before they committed their criminal abuses of their positions.

The founders would have hanged these people.

Let's see the death threats (which are against the law). Sounds like a ploy to keep her crimes from going public.

With the way that the media and the government protects progressives, one has to wonder what the fuck they did that they are making these statements. Wow....

Tax payers had to pay for their work good or bad. Tax payers have a right to see it.

If those files are bad enough to get them killed. How are they not good enough to send them to prison?

This has to be the worst argument in history.

Lois Lerner, Holly Paz want testimony sealed permanently

nov 19 2017 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.

“Whenever Mss. Lerner and Paz have been in the media spotlight, they have faced death threats and harassment,” attorneys for the two women argued.
Ms. Lerner and Ms. Paz gave taped depositions in a class-action lawsuit brought by tea party groups demanding answers and compensation for having been subjected to illegal targeting for their political beliefs.

Obama should have been removed from office for letting this evil witch use IRS to persecute conservatives. But he's black so the pro-black racist press let this horrible scandal slide.

 

[Pete7469]

She has more to worry about from her possible future cell mates than anyone else.

 

[MindWars]

Maybe they will eat her alive and give her up as one of their losers. You know how leftist play when they don't need their pawns any longer they turn on them.

 

[The Irish Ram]

Let the chips fall where they may..... You are accountable for your actions.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Already a thread on this

 

[basquebromance]

If Crooked Lois Lerner is that afraid of backlash for targeting conservatives, let's offer her the safety of a secure prison cell.

LOCK. HER. UP.

 

[Weatherman2020]

Nonsense, President Obama assured me there was not even a smidgen of wrongdoing.
