Right-Wing Grudge Match With Lois Lerner Has Deep Roots In The Past



As it turns out, there’s much more than meets the eye with regard to the vendetta being waged against Lois Lerner. I took a hard look at the past, her history when she worked for the FEC, and the investigations she was involved in. My story about it is posted here, but I’ve posted an excerpt to whet your appetite. Enjoy.

When the IRS ‘scandal’ broke in 2013, IRS Exempt Organizations Director Lois Lerner found herself at the center of a maelstrom of finger-pointing and right-wing hysteria. For over a year, the right has been relentlessly attacking her in the media and in the halls of Congress. The nature of the attacks transcends the mere political and enters the realm of personal destruction, right down to the House vote to hold Lerner in contempt of Congress for choosing to exercise her 5th amendment rights.

Lois Lerner wasn’t just an unfortunate bureaucrat in the crosshairs of the Tea Party. Lois Lerner, it turns out, knew exactly what and who she was dealing with when applications started streaming in for exemptions back in 2010. She had seen it all before, in intimate detail.
