Lois Lerner’s Own Words
Wall Street Journal – 9/11/2013
Emails undercut the official
IRS story on political targeting
Congress’s investigation
into the IRS targeting of conservatives has been continuing out of the Syria
headlines, and it’s turning up news. Emails unearthed by the House Ways and
Means Committee between former Director of Exempt Organizations Lois Lerner and
her staff raise doubts about IRS claims that the targeting wasn’t politically
motivated and that low-level employees in Cincinnati masterminded the
operation.
In a February 2011 email,
Ms. Lerner advised her staff—including then Exempt Organizations Technical
Manager Michael Seto and then Rulings and Agreements director Holly Paz—that a
Tea Party matter is “very dangerous,” and is something “Counsel and [Lerner
adviser] Judy Kindell need to be in on.” Ms. Lerner adds, “Cincy should probably
NOT have these cases.”
