When Lois Lerner worked for the FEC she offered to drop a case against a conservative if he promised never to run for office again.
Working for the Democratic Party: When IRS thug Lois Lerner worked for the FEC she offered to drop a case against a conservative running for the Senate if he promised never to run for office again.
The conservative refused, and the case went to court, where all charges were dismissed. Nonetheless, the conservative subsequently decided that the harassment from the government, which also included a visit from the FBI, was not worth it, and has not run for office since.
In other words, Lerner’s harassment worked, to the benefit of the Democratic Party.
Readers!
My annual February birthday fund-raising drive for Behind the Black is now over. Thank you to everyone who donated or subscribed. While not a record-setter, the donations were more than sufficient and slightly above average.
As I have said many times before, I can’t express what it means to me to get such support, especially as no one is required to pay anything to read my work. Thank you all again!
For those readers who like my work here at Behind the Black and haven't contributed so far, please consider donating or subscribing. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Why isn’t Lerner being indicted?
Why is there such a blatant double standard for those in government, both politicians and “unionized” government employees?
What ever happened to the rule of law instead of the rule of man and pop-culture’s teflon protection of the celebrity class?
She might yet be indicted, because she botched her 5th Amendment claim by preceding it with a statement that she did “nothing wrong.” The move was so incompetent it surprised even the committee chairman, who has decided to recall her. What he should do, with her and every other administration witness short of Clinton and Holder, is grant her immunity. That means she can’t be prosecuted for what she did during her tenure, but she can no longer hide behind the 5th Amendment, and if she answers falsely she opens herself to contempt of Congress and perjury. That’s the way to get to the bottom of all this. The question is, does the GOP leadership have the (courage) to find out the truth?
Grant her immunity ONLY if she will absolutely finger someone hired up then her.
Otherwise jail her on the testimony of those below her.
Trade for immunity. Don’t just give it away with a pile of hope.
No immunity useless absolutely necessary.
Or she will just wait on full paid leave until Obama issues her a Presidential Pardon at the end of his last term.
