IRS officials claim their lives will be in danger if they testify about the TEA Party targeting scandal

 According to this story a closed hearing is going to be held on Friday to determine whether or not IRS officials should testify in an open hearing about the TEA Party targeting scandal. The IRS officials do not want to testify publicly because they claim their lives will be in danger. Here is more:

Current and former IRS officials are asking not to publicly testify about the agency’s alleged bias against Tea Party and other conservative organizations, claiming they are in danger if they do so.

Former official Lois Lerner and Holly Paz both argued in recent filings under seal in the U.S. District Court in Cincinnati that the death threats and other harassment they have faced take precedence over the public’s right to hear their testimony on the case of IRS bias against conservative groups, USA Today reported.

  It goes without saying but I feel I need to say it anyway in light of what I am about to write, I do not support death threats in any way shape or form. However, why would these officials fear death threats unless their testimony will confirm what the TEA Party already knows happened in the first place? If their testimony was to exonerate them there would be no fear but it is obvious to me their testimony will implicate them in the IRS targeting scandal and of course it should not be forgotten that this scandal first came to light when Lois Lerner admitted wrongdoing…

    Strange… I heard Comey testify at the last hearing that there was nothing to the IRS scandal and no evidence that the Tea Party was targeted. Guess wonder boy may have his ox in the fire if something comes of this. Wish I could find the clip. Believe it or not, I sat through the whole thing.

    That is very weird. Everybody knows that the targeting happened. Even the fact checkers (even with their so-called liberal bias) says it happened. This has to be about high level individuals trying to save face by keeping it out of the public eye.

    The Council On Foreign Relations with 4,500 + Elite members and the National Media controlled by David Rockefeller wants President Donald Trump and the Tea Party out of the way . The reason for this is if President Trump builds the WALL it will be the end of the One World Order that certain members of the CFR have been working on with the Club of Rome for 55 years, THEY MUST HAVE OPEN BORDERS.

    Lerner and company have nothing to fear but fear itself ha ha ha. With the republicans running the hearings what is the worst that can happen, probably nothing.

    Exactly Steve, why would they fear for their lives by speaking up! if those behind it didn’t do what the Tea Party claims. Billy C. used the IRS as a Mafia tactical operation too, so why not that last regime whose of the same cut of cloth (both knit into the CIA madness).
    When the swamp is found to be endless, and continues to fill faster than it’s emptied (bubbling up from Hells gate), who can drain it? No man or men, only slow the process. BUT, they can clean out some of the scummier sorts and hopefully that will be the outcome!
    (If the dark deep state wanted them gone, they’d wouldn’t even have the time or be able to ‘state their fears’!)
