Lois Lerner, who infamously plead the 5th before Congress this past summer, also declared she “did nothing wrong”. The Obama administration, after first claiming presidential outrage over the IRS scandal, later appeared to dismiss it as a “phony scandal”. An ongoing Congressional investigation into the matter has just uncovered very specific emails from Ms. Lerner that appear to confirm the allegations of an aggressive and determined attempt by top IRS officials to both intimidate and deny Tea Party affiliated groups via the tax code.

“I did nothing wrong – and I plead the 5th” So said Obama IRS official Lois Lerner during sworn testimony before Congress this past summer.

Emails show IRS’ Lois Lerner specifically targeted tea party

Newly released emails show that Lois G. Lerner, the woman at the center of the IRS scandal over special scrutiny of conservative groups’ applications for tax-exempt status, specifically targeted tea party applications and directed they be held up in 2011 in order to come up with an agency policy.

The email, released by a House committee investigating the IRS, seems to counter Democrats’ arguments that tea party groups weren’t specifically targeted.

“Tea Party Matter very dangerous,” Ms. Lerner said in the 2011 email, saying that those applications could end up being the “vehicle to go to court” to get more clarity on a 2010 Supreme Court ruling on campaign finance rules.

In another email, from 2012, Ms. Lerner acknowledges that the agency’s handling of the tax-exempt applications had been bungled at the beginning, though she said they had taken steps to correct it.
