IRS execs: Our lives at risk in tea party case

A judge has ruled that there was a 'strong showing' the IRS had a bias against Tea Party groups. USA TODAY

Details about tea party bias claims against the IRS could remain secret because current and former agency officials say their lives are in danger if they publicly testify about the case.

Lois Lerner and Holly Paz both have argued in recent court filings that the threat to their lives outweighs the public's right to hear their testimony about how IRS employees in Cincinnati and Washington D.C. handled applications for tax-exempt status from tea party groups.

They recently filed evidence to support their claim under seal in U.S. District Court in Cincinnati. Though that evidence has not been made public, court records indicate it relates to death threats and other harassment the women say they endured after their names were connected to the bias claims against the IRS several years ago.

Does something that makes them deserve death by the public.

Can't testify it because people want to kill them.

So, how does the Goverment deal with all the criminals out there when someone wants to kill them for what they have done? Surely the gov isn't bypassing prosecution because of some idle threats on all them? What about when the DA gets threatened in a criminal case? Do they refuse to prosecute those cases too?

Wait... wait... hold up a minute... so the people you f*cked-over are pissed-off about it?  You abused your government position/authority to deprive people of their civil rights.  Innocent Americans were trying to organize, to peaceably petition their government for the redress of grievances, and you put your shiny black boot on their necks.

And now you have the balls to demand that the very system you misused CONCEAL YOU from the people you oppressed?

How about no.  

How about F*ck you.

Drag these cockroaches out into the sunlight.  

Let us all hear their testimony.

ETA:  not a smidgeon of corruption, right?  Obama said so... why would these execs have anything to fear?

Nixon's second article of impeachment was the ATTEMPTED use of the IRS to target his political opponents.

These scum actually DID use the IRS to target their political opponents.

IMO, that should carry the death penalty.  So fuck them, fuck their privacy, and fuck their safety.  Come into court and perjure the fuck out of yourselves and reap what you have sown.

I wouldn't doubt it.

Look... the whole thing is bullsh*t.  Despite their pleas about the "danger" they're in, nothing is going to happen to them.  The Tea Party crowd is probably the most responsible, traditional, family-values, law-abiding group of Americans you could ever find.  Regardless of what Lerner, et al might claim, The Tea Party is not going to form up a posse and burn them out of their houses, or assassinate anybody.  

Hell...  in the last 4-5 years, Lois Lerner hasn't had so much as a key run down the side of her car, or a rock through her window.  The worse she's experienced was probably somebody making a mean comment to her in the grocery store.

So, their defense is: They didn't do anything bad but what they did was so bad people want to kill them.

Just a Thought,

But, if whatever you are considering doing will inspire credible death threats against you if you are forced to testify to it, you should weigh carefully your actions before proceeding... 

Again, just a thought.

What do those nuts have to do with the Tea Party?  

The people the IRS directly screwed in the targeting Scandal were organizers for the burgeoning (at that time) Tea Party movement.  These people were business owners, local politicians, and regular "community" types who were looking to get involved in a larger national movement.  

Google "Liberty Township Tea Party" or "Richmond Tea Party" for the types of people the IRS screwed.  

These weren't "sovereigns"... those people couldn't organize a bake sale, and hate the government so much that their "person" would never create "joinder" by filing any sort of tax papers with the government.  

Sovereigns don't even believe in license plates, or the tax code itself, let alone 501(c) (3) organizing.

There are always whackos out there.  Make them testify in open court anyway.  If found guilty they will be safe in prison.  If found innocent they can be placed into the witness protection program.

I'm still pissed the GOP didn't have the Capitol Police arrest Lerner during that hearing.

If the Republican head of the IRS squashed 498+ Black/Hispanic voting groups before the election and Obama lost, the Dems sure as shit would have had them arrested.

The Tea Party was just as big a threat to the GOPe as it was to the Democrats.  They were primary'ing RINO Republicans left-and-right.  

So the GOP let it go, and Lerner skated.  

Hell... they refuse to impeach Koskinen... and that guy is negligent at best, and complicit in covering up the scandal at worst.
