Lois Lerner Pleads the Fifth
Posted by overmanwarrior 11 years, 11 months ago to News
The first two clips are raw footage from the Cincinnati rally the other day. It gives a nice idea how big the event really was.
We are the boss of the IRS, not the other way around and they answer to us, not some stupid labor union. And the labor unions have no right to “organize” on behalf of the political aims of the President of The United States, where the President might have said to NTEU president Colleen Kelley, “I need some help during the next election, Colleen. I don’t know if I can win this on my own—in fact I know I can’t.” An enthralled Colleen Kelley might state in return, “You’re not alone Mr. President.” Wink and a nod as both parties smile knowingly–no laws broken. Later Kelley contacts Lerner by phone where she might have said, “I had a wonderful day at the White House yesterday. It was very productive.” Lerner might then ask, “How is the president these days?” Kelley might then have responded, “Oh, he’s worried that some of these Tea Party organizations are actually fronts for the Republican fundraising machine, and they could hurt him in 2012.” Lerner would then respond with a bit of glee in her voice learned from over thirty years as a government employee, “Well, we might just have to take a little closer look into their finances.” Again, Lerner didn’t lie, cheat or steal…………and she didn’t break the law. But in pleading the Fifth, she allows doubt to hide the connection between Kelley and herself leaving plausible deniability as a perpetual option. The game of government is infected with many hundreds of thousands of similar situations, and they all cost money and lead to vast amounts of corruption. It is that game that the Tea Party protested, and will continue to fight against and if progressives wish to believe such a thing is terrorism, then the accusation is from the perspective of those who wish to bring harm to America, by destroying what is good about it in preservation of their ever-growing statism.

'Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, a senior Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, said Lerner was asked to resign but refused, so she was placed on leave. An IRS spokeswoman said the agency could not comment on Lerner’s status because it was a private personnel matter.' http://washington.cbslocal.com/2013/05/2...
