LOL The "raving fringewhack axe to grind site" was the Washington Post.
A 141-page report released by Issa and the committee's Republicans Tuesday concludes that Lerner "was extensively involved in targeting conservative-oriented tax-exempt applicants for inappropriate scrutiny." The report includes nearly 100 pages of emails and documents that aim to show Lerner had an overtly left-leaning political ideology that, combined with the public scrutiny of the Citizens United Supreme Court decision by "voices on the left," led her to develop a process to scrutinize and delay tea party groups' applications for 501(c)(4) status and later cover up that scrutiny.
"She was keenly aware of acute political pressure to crack down on conservative-leaning organizations. Not only did she seek to convey her agreement with this sentiment publicly, she went so far as to engage in a wholly inappropriate effort to circumvent federal prohibitions in order to publicize her efforts to crack down on a particular Tea Party applicant. She created unprecedented roadblocks for Tea Party organizations, worked surreptitiously to advance new Obama Administration regulations that curtail the activities of existing 501(c)(4) organizations - all the while attempting to maintain an appearance that her efforts did not appear, in her own words, 'per se political,'" the report says.
Lois Lerner needs to be held accountable for what she did. She is a leftist piece of crap who violated the Constitution and now wants to plead the 5th.
Who let you back in?

Were you banned?
Oh, wait... the fifth amendment is part of the constitution which Lerner upholds by claiming it as her right. Funny that.
Since when does a far left nutjob like yourself care about the Constitution? You have no problem with obama violating the Constitution.

Assume for a moment that the following is the regulation to be followed by the IRS regarding this issue. Do you think scrutiny of the various organizations is well within the responsibility of the IRS? And that Primary and Exclusive are terms that put into question the nature of the organizations having their requests challenged?
"The promotion of social welfare does not include direct or indirect participation or intervention in political campaigns on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for public office. However, a section 501(c)(4) social welfare organization may engage in some political activities, so long as that is not its primary activity. However, any expenditure it makes for political activities may be subject to tax under section 527(f). For further information regarding political and lobbying activities of section 501(c) organizations, see Election Year Issues, Political Campaign and Lobbying Activities of IRC 501(c)(4), (c)(5), and (c)(6) Organizations, and Revenue Ruling 2004-6."

Yep, defending everybody's right to invoke the 5th amendment makes me a Commie, right?
Damn, I didn't know they had Commies back then.
If you truly want a response from him, you need to phrase it in a question that can be answered "Fuck Yes", "Hell No" or "STFU you liberal slime".
You don't care about the Constitution with your support of obama and FDR. You only want to obey the parts that suit you.

Thank god P&N's resident court jester is back. The daily funny-stupid was starting to lag a bit.
Not surprised at all that you resort to insults. Got anything useful to contribute?

Lots of useful things, you can search my serious posts. Of course, pretty much anything nearly any P&N'er posts here is more useful than your drivel.
I figure that if he actually stopped and looked at what we pay the IRS folks to do he might link their job mandate to what the heck they did.
I'd have tried to get a handle on these 501(c)(4) applicants and hopefully determine which are more likely to be Primarily Political or more appropriately, Not primarily for the Social Good as indicated in the IRS regulations and which may be appropriately seeking tax exempt status.
SCOTUS decisions seemed to have created an envelope that while being pushed in all directions needed guidance beyond what is in law. Everyone of those political entities want avoiding taxation but what is also interesting is many if not all were allowed to proceed in violation of the law...
I want them to pay their tax... Maybe Issa can help in this regard.
