IRS - lois lerner : UPDATE

[platoonDaddy]

Nine days ago the IRS was found in Federal Court to have targeted Tea Party groups under obama / holder / lerner agreeing to pay them $3,500,000 after a five year court battle. They agreed to pay but not admit to wrongdoing (hogwash). I never saw this payout from the IRS for an obama scandal targeting conservative opposition in any of the news.

obama is the one who weaponized the Federal Agencies against his and the Democrat's political enemies. This may be the first time the IRS had to pay out for illegal action in a class action suit. Note that lerner and her deputy's testimony through deposition is remaining under seal even though the case is over. Why? She said that if the public saw what she did, they would want to kill her. WOW!

If the IRS said they did nothing wrong, why did they just give away $3,500,000 of our money?

Therein lies the problem, they paid out our money, what do they care? The actors should have been fined personally. And Lois and any other higher ups involved should have gone to jail.

This is a fact.

The weaponizing of the IRS against conservatives was far more damaging to our country than any of the allegations against Trump- but you'll never hear anything about it from the MSM. Trump pulls the SC from a partisan hack and people go nuts.

Agreed. Screw paying the organizations. Put people in PRISON!!!!

You think it was bad under Obama, wait till they get back into power.

Where is our Special Counsel to investigate this? Plus, I'll just drop this here - you may have seen this 5 years ago, but just to remind us:

"National Taxpayers Union calculations show that Lerner could qualify for a starting pension at the annual equivalent of as much as $102,600, and up to $3.96 million over her lifetime."

Look at that. I agree with you.

This sets a precedent that a mere $3.5m is the penalty for taking power over the nation.

Why would people want to kill Lerner? They just want to know who is ultimately behind it. Give her immunity and find the real threat/perps.

I don't think people would want to kill her, however the people who she used to work for (obumbo, Clinton, etc) would..If she started spilling her guts and wasn't given protection, I've no doubt she'd have an "accident" within a week or sooner...
