Lois Lerner to 1996 U.S.
Senate Candidate Al Salvi: "We'll get you!"
Read this article – looks like
Lois Lerner has been with the IRS for quite some time.
CHICAGO - Former GOP U.S.
Senate candidate Al Salvi's (photo right) revelation this week that IRS official Lois Lerner offered
to drop the Federal Election Commission's (FEC) 1996 case against him
if he promised to never run for office again was the proverbial tip of the
iceberg.
"Before Lois Lerner
(photo right) took us before the federal judge, her last offer was for me to
promise to never run for office again. That was always part of their
demands," Salvi said. "Before that last offer, another FEC
representative that reported to Lerner wanted $200,000 and a promise not to
run."
Knowing his $1.1 million
campaign loan to himself was legal, Salvi rejected the initial settlement offer
from FEC attorney Colleen Sealander. In later conversations, Sealander lowered
the amount to $100,000, then $40,000, but always with the additional promise to
never run for office again.
"Every time we talked,
I refused the offer, and Colleen said she'd have to check with someone,"
Salvi said. "I finally told her I'd like to talk to whomever she reported.
That's when I got a call from Lois Lerner."
