Lerner’s involvement and support for the new gift tax contradicts the IRS statement to the media at the time that audits were not part of a “broader effort looking at donations 501(c)(4)’s.” In July 2011, the IRS retreated and soon-to-be Acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller directed that “examination resources should not be expended on this issue” and that all audits of taxpayers “relating to the application of gift taxes” to 501(c)(4) organizations “should be closed.”
“These documents that we had to force out of the IRS prove that the agency used donor lists to audit supporters of organizations engaged in First Amendment-protected lawful political speech,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “And the snarky comments about the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the obsession with Karl Rove’s Crossroads GPS show that the IRS was targeting critics of the Obama administration. President Obama may want to continue to lie about his IRS scandal. These documents tell the truth – his IRS hated conservatives and was willing to illegally tax and audit citizens to shut down opposition to Barack Obama’s policies and reelection.”

Re: Lois Lerner E-Mails
"IRS Used Instant Messaging System to Hide Internal Communications
The IRS used a “wholly separate” instant messaging system that automatically deleted office communications, according to documentation released by the House Oversight Committee on Monday. The system appears to have been purposefully used by agency officials responsible for the targeting of conservative non-profits, in order to evade public scrutiny.
The system, known as “Office Communication Server” or OCS was used by IRS officials, including many in the Exempt Organizations (EO) Unit, which was headed by Lois Lerner.
As the Oversight Committee report states, the instant messaging system did not archive any communications, so it is not possible to know what employees of the EO unit discussed on it.
However, in an email uncovered by the Committee Lerner warns her colleagues about evading Congressional oversight:
“I was cautioning folks about email and how we have had several occasions where Congress has asked for emails and there has been an electronic search for responsive emails – so we need to be cautious about what we say in emails.”
Lerner then asks whether OCS is automatically archived. When informed it was not, Lerner responded “Perfect.”
While it is possible to set the instant messaging system to automatically archive messages, the IRS chose not to do so, according to one employee interviewed by the Committee. The fact that the agency chose not to archive messages raises questions about the true purpose of OCS and what discussions took place.
Needless to say, the apparent use of OCS to evade Congressional oversight once again shows that the IRS does not want the American people to learn the truth about the Lois Lerner targeting scandal."

Lerner emails show IRS tried to cover up targeting of conservative groups
Published July 29, 2015
The IRS sent an inquiry letter to a nonprofit group in order to buy time by preventing the group from complaining to Congress about their treatment by the agency, according to newly released Lois Lerner emails.The emails, obtained by watchdog group Judicial Watch, show that Lerner and her colleagues were aware of a mounting congressional pressure and sought to hold up one of the organizations from complaining by sending a letter of inquiry, The Washington Times reported Wednesday.
In an exchange dated Nov. 3, 2011 between Lerner and Cindy Thomas, a program manager in the Cincinnati office handling the cases, the IRS admitted they had hundreds of cases stacking up and waiting action, The Times reported.
“Just today, I instructed one of my managers to get an additional information letter out to one of these organizations — if nothing else to buy time so he didn’t contact his Congressional Office,” Thomas wrote to Lerner.
Thomas said she was concerned a judge would get involved and order to move the applications more quickly, the Times reported.“This material shows that the IRS‘ cover-up began years ago,” Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, said.
“We now have smoking-gun proof that top officials in the Obama IRS unlawfully harassed taxpayers just to keep them from complaining to Congress about IRS‘ targeting and abuse. No wonder the Obama IRS has had such little interest in preserving or finding Lois Lerner’s emails,” Fitton said.
The most corrupt administration in our Nation's history.

Re: Lois Lerner E-Mails
I really would like to see her prosecuted. There is a certain amount of above the law arrogance among executive branch appointees - it happens with ANY administration. Throwing a couple in jail will send a very useful message moving forward
at this point they might be getting enough evidence in spite of her taking the 5th
btw why would you take the 5th if you havent broken the law? (thats a rhetorical question)

Re: Lois Lerner E-Mails
Koskinen is in a Judges' sights for contempt, refusal to produce information when ordered. Have a gut feeling he'll get it first. The IG has covered up for Lerner, and the FBI and DOJ are complicit, so I doubt we'll see Lerner prosecuted until after the Donks leave the WH.CID1990 wrote:I really would like to see her prosecuted.

some of these "smart" people are also referred to as leaders of the free world
that gives me pause

Re: Lois Lerner E-Mails
So the final IRS targeting case comes to a close with an apology and its a doozy:
http://m.govexec.com/oversight/2018/02/ ... c_today_nl
"Some applications for tax-exempt status were being sent to a special office in Washington for review of whether the applicants’ policy positions conflicted with those of the Obama administration.”
Meanwhile, Lois Lerner is working on her tan or polishing her knife collection or whatever agenda driven federal corruptocrats do when they get a senior executive service retirement with bennies
In a just world people like her are eaten by wild dogs or die of leprosy
