Lois Lerner Wants To Keep IRS Testimonies Sealed For All Of Eternity

Lois Lerner. Bet you weren’t expecting to hear her wretched name in the news again.

According to this, Lerner has filed a motion “to keep their testimonies in the Tea Party targeting case private forever.”

Why, you ask? Because they’re afraid it’ll bring harm to their families. They’re actually using Tea Party leader Mark Meckler’s quote as one of their reasons. He said the lawsuit would “treat the IRS like the criminal thugs they are.” So…I guess they’re afraid people will really treat them like dirty, rotten thugs.

It’s must be that bad.

Lerner and her deputy Holly Paz filed a motion last Thursday to keep the materials—including tapes and transcripts of their depositions—sealed due to threats they have received in the past.

Court documents, reviewed by Fox News, said the “public dissemination of their deposition testimony would expose them and their families to harassment and a credible risk of violence and physical harm.”

“Whenever Mss. Lerner and Paz have been in the media spotlight, they have faced death threats and harassment,” the documents stated. “Returning Mss. Lerner and Paz to the media spotlight places them at risk, regardless of what they actually said in those depositions.”

The documents also stated that: “Public exposure will put innocent bystanders, namely Mss. Lerner’s and Paz’s family members (including young children), at risk, too.”

Wow.
