Lerner called conservatives “a**holes” in emails

Loading

Newly released emails by Lois Lerner, the former IRS official at the center of the tea party targeting scandal, show “deep animus towards conservatives, which she refers to as ‘—holes,’” according to a House committee.

The emails were among a batch of new evidence the House Ways and Means Committee turned over Wednesday to the Department of Justice (DOJ) in support of an investigation of criminal wrongdoing at the IRS.

“Despite the serious investigation and evidence this Committee has undertaken into the IRS’s targeting of individuals for their beliefs, there is no indication that DOJ is taking this matter seriously,” Rep. Dave Camp, Michigan Republican and chairman of the committee, said in a letter to the department.

“In light of this new information, I hope DOJ will aggressively pursue this case and finally appoint a special counsel, so the full truth can be revealed and justice is served,” he wrote.

Mr. Camp argued that the newly discovered emails demonstrated Ms. Lerner’s “personal hostility toward conservatives,” who were targeted by the IRS office run by Ms. Lerner.

The new emails were not from the critical time period from 2009 to 2011, which the IRS claims were lost when Ms. Lerner’s computer crashed.

In one of the new emails, Ms. Lerner states: “So we don’t need to worry about alien teRrorists. (sic) It’s our own crazies that will take us down.”

The committee also turned over evidence that Ms. Lerner used her personal home computer for IRS business, including storing taxpayer information.

She had a real ”them VS us” attitude.

Got to love garbage. Expensive to put into office and really expensive to get rid of. Lois Lerner is a political whore like the current congress.
What is pension worth?

@Nanny G: Just like Obama and the rest of his administration as well as the lefties who support him. It’ll be interesting to see if, or for how long, “peaceful” coexistence will last. Just like on the playground growing up, people eventually get sick of the bullies and slap them down.
