Lois Lerner, Holly Paz Think They’re the Victims, Want Records Sealed Forever

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, according to The Washington Times.

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 forever, or else they could spur an enraged public to retaliate.

Are they really getting death threats? We all need to know what they testified to and how serious the targeting was.

The attorneys for both say they’ve been harassed and threatened.

The lawyers for these two made the same claims in May.

“This documentation, as the court will see, makes very personal references and contains graphic, profane, and disturbing language that would lead to unnecessary intrusion and embarrassment if made public,” their attorneys said. “Public dissemination of their deposition testimony would put their lives in serious jeopardy.”

What are the nature of the threats? Nasty tweets? What? Are they credible?

Both women have been dishonest, secretive, hateful, refused to testify and Lerner appears to have destroyed records.

Who are they to deserve secrecy over the public’s right to know in a case where a government agency under their leadership targeted American citizens?

It’s amazing how they’ve made themselves into the victims when they were the ones targeting conservative groups.

Both women are afraid of President Trump’s Tweets.

AG Jeff Sessions REFUSED to reopen this case … a case in which managerial staff of the IRS weaponized this federal agency against American citizens who DARED to disagree with their political ideologies.

How do you stop such behaviors? YOU PUT SUCH SCUM IN JAIL.

judyann joyner – The IRS just settled with those whose rights they violated. I would rather have seen them all in prison, because that’s where these criminals belong. = “Tea Party Groups Targeted by IRS, Gets $35 Million Dollar Settlement.” AT TAXPAYER EXPENSE, of course. They do the crime, WE get to pay. NOT at all ‘justice’ imo.

Sessions will certainly not fight the sealing of those records.

Lois Lerner and her buddy in crime, Paz, should have already been through a trial and in prison by now. They violated their oaths of office, they insured the voices on the right/conservatives would NOT be granted the same benefits/tax exemptions they gladly handed to their liberal benefactors and they went after them like they where criminals. Seal their statements/records up? NO WAY, jose. They already DESTROYED the info on their computers… saw to it their ILLEGAL actions wouldn’t be so easily exposed. Believe them at your OWN US Const. peril.

PRISON, not protection is what they deserve. Matter of fact, putting them IN prison WILL ‘keep them safe’ from those who EXPECT equal justice under our laws.

They are desperate to seal the records to avoid further incrimination.

I agree fully. Criminals, protected from the crimes they committed in the IRS… which was never meant to be a partisan, political law breaking group.
