Obama regime ramps ups threats from IRS audits to death

Talk about your war on whistleblowers….

The Obama regime has been conducting an IRS pogrom against conservatives for several years now. Private records have been released, conservative groups and individuals have been audited continuously and the Obama regime has issued new rules codifying the persecution of conservatives.

Now the Obama regime is taking it to a new level- the threat of death. (http://dailycaller.com/2014/03/04/l...t-wednesdays-oversight-hearing/#ixzz2v2Ry4flD)

Lois Lerner fears for her life if she testifies openly before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Wednesday, according to her attorney.
House oversight committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa announced Sunday that Lerner will testify at Wednesday’s hearing, but Lerner’s attorney Bill Taylor said that Lerner will seek to continue invoking her Fifth Amendment rights and will also seek a one-week delay of her testimony.
Oversight members are reportedly open to granting Lerner a one-week delay if she petitions for one in person at Wednesday’s hearing. The delay would allow Lerner’s lawyers to continue negotiating for immunity, which they have been doing since at least September.
“I advised the staff that calling Ms. Lerner knowing that she will assert her rights was not only improper but dangerous. Ms. Lerner has been the subject of numerous threats on her life and safety, and on the life and safety of her family. I left with the staff recent evidence of those threats,” said Taylor in a letter to Issa.
But Oversight previously determined that Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights when she made a statement attesting to her innocence at a May 2013 hearing.
Republican Reps. Jim Jordan and Jason Chaffetz, both Oversight members, said recently that they were considering holding Lerner in contempt of Congress if she does not testify.
Issa said on the subject, ”We want her to come back and answer questions. We’ll see on contempt.”​

Congressman Trey Gowdy said they have the goods on Lerner:

Attorneys for Lerner are claiming Ms. Lerner is danger if she testifies before Congress. Now who would threaten her, Progressive Democrats?

 

You mean she might become a member of the Obama dead pool???...

- - - Updated - - -

They want answers why would they threaten her if she testifies??? Good grief man....think!!!!

 

Why have you lied here? There is no death threat from the Obama Administration. You have presented zero proof of that. Lois Lerner says she fears for her life. What is your evidence she was referring to the Obama Administration with fearing for her life?

 

Personally I think it's all drama to say she's afraid for her life. She may think that will get her off the hook. I'm sure her lawyers have tried to think of something for her to say....having said that nobody in the Tea Party would NOT want her to testify. If she's afraid for her life it's either a ploy or she's afraid of the Obama Chicago thug machine.

 

Did I claim the Obama Administration? Do you think that conservatives would want to keep Lois Lerner from testifying?

Lawyer to Darrell Issa: Lois Lerner facing threats​

Embattled IRS employee Lois Lerner fears for her life and is asking House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa to revoke his summons to recall her back to the Hill next week.

“Ms. Lerner has been the subject of numerous threats on her life and safety, and on the life and safety of her family,” her lawyer William Taylor III wrote to Issa on Wednesday morning in a letter obtained by POLITICO.

Issa summoned Lerner to a continued committee hearing next week in a letter sent to her lawyer Tuesday night.

What purpose would it serve for conservatives to threaten Lois Lerner and keep her from testifying before Congress?

 

Give her immunity and let her testify immediately. Lerner can dodge prosecution but she will be ruined socially and politically.

Let her talk openly and identify the rest of the villains, and then make those villains lives so unbearable that no IRS employee will ever want to play politics again.

 

If she testifies and tells the truth why would the T-Party want to stop her? She's already revealed enough through her E-mails that the IRS was persecuting conservatives, T-Party, and religious groups. Are you sure it's not those 'Progressive Fanatics' that don't want her to testify proving how corrupt and biased the IRS hierarchy really are? Your statement defies logic.

 

I don't doubt she is in fear of her life, the tea party extremists are a violent bunch who threaten and bully to get their way.

 

this looks like it has all the makings of another amusing gop charade

 

You should get your stories straight. "The Obama regime is taking it to a new level, the threat of death". You talk in circles.

 

The rules adopted apply to all groups, not just conservative groups and there is no indication of anyone being targeted for audits based on political stances other than baseless claims.

 

Who would threaten her? The Obama admin. She will suffer the same fate as the HI Health Director.

- - - Updated - - -

And you know this how? Why would Lerner say she was afraid for her life, ask for immunity or plead the fifth if this is all based on baseless claims? You need to wake up.

 

I know what how? That the rules regarding 501c(3) apply to everyone? Because I read them, and in no way, ever, do they only apply to one ideology.

http://www.irs.gov/Charities-&-Non-...-Requirements-Section-501(c)(3)-Organizations

Do I? So i can start repeating nonsensical, right wing blather that has no basis in (*)(*)(*)(*)ing reality? Is that why I need to wake up?

 

Maybe obama is gonna force progressives to get a job??? Thats just like death, right?

 

This would be great, but, unfortunately, Obama does not have enough guts to stick with the principles and even cannot keep his promises. He is a centrist. We need a progressive president. Hopefully next time, in 2016.

 

It's not the law itself, it's how and to whom the law was applied.

Yeah, also from your article.

“Instead of this prestigious committee using its broad jurisdiction to address critical issues that confront us, it has been consumed by a tireless effort by Republicans to find political scandal, regardless of what the truth holds, as they look toward the November election,” said Rep. Sander Levin

It would appear that partisan (*)(*)(*)(*)wads are long on accusations, short on anything to actually support them.

But hey, some Republican claimed that the IRS was out to get right wingers, so it must be true, right? Why actually expect him to produce (*)(*)(*)(*) all evidence when he can simply claim it, and folks lap it up.

 

Please dispute this with data to the contrary:

“At Washington, DC’s direction, dozens of groups operating as 501(c)(4)s were flagged for IRS surveillance, including monitoring of the groups’ activities, websites and any other publicly available information. Of these groups, 83% were right-leaning. And of the groups the IRS selected for audit, 100% were right-leaning.”

Else, you're partisan blathering is just the same as the blathering you're blathering about.

 

Dispute what? Baseless claims? No thank you.

 

Did it again.

10:00 ET Lerner pleads the fifth amendment again.

Lieing left...keep it up.

 

Sounds like Rahm Rahm is on the case...

 

If they are baseless, they should be easy to refute, no? I would think that the IRS would have been quick to respond to the House Ways and Means Committee Chairman's "baseless claims" with some "real" numbers to the contrary, if they were indeed false. Wouldn't you? I'll concede if proven wrong, because I'm not a partisan hack. How 'bout you?

 

The question has been answered. You asked that I refute someone's baseless claims, and I declined. Is Thais now clear enough? If you have some tangible facts and reality to put forth, then do. Otherwise, sitting there and repeatedly asking the same question over, and putting forth petty insults when I refuse to play some game with you seems to lack veracity as an argument.

 

As a percentage, they were probably right, seeing that there were way more Tea Party groups. However, that still has no relevance in the game of right or wrong. The targeting, in the scheme of things, is only a side show to the real issue. Like lawrence o'donnell has said from the very beginning, the only thing that matters, is how the law itself was illegally changed. No one from the IRS really new how to scrutinize any organizations because of the illegally implemented law of 1959 that changed the wording from "EXCLUSIVELY" to "PRIMARILY". I'm sure like everyone else, Lois Lerner had to sit back in her chair looking at that law and say "WTF". That is where the confusion and misunderstanding of the actions of the IRS begin. They were having to deal with an illegal law, and they never new it. And that is why Lois Lerner should never get blamed for any wrong doing. If the committee is discussing activities of any IRS employees as it relates to the illegal law, while these same IRS employees were unknowingly doing their best to do their jobs under the circumstances of that illegal law, then all IRS employees should be dismissed from any wrong doing. Even Lois Lerner should be dismissed. That law was illegally changed over 50 years ago unbeknownst to the IRS. This scandal bottom line, has been a joke from the beginning.

 

Ahh.... the old 'head in sand' gambit. Well played sir. Well played...
