No Wonder IRS DEPUTY Lois Lerner wants IMMUNITY: Ways and Means Committee discovers emails implicating Lois Lerner in collusion with the IRS when she worked for the FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION. Lerner handed over information which assisted the IRS in targeting Conservative political groups. Apparently her good work won her a PROMOTION to senior management at the IRS: Embattled Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner and an attorney in the Federal Election Commission’s general counsel’s office appear to have twice colluded to influence the record before the FEC’s vote in the case of a conservative non-profit organization, according to e-mails unearthed by the House Ways and Means Committee and obtained exclusively by National Review Online. The correspondence suggests the discrimination of conservative groups extended beyond the IRS and into the FEC, where an attorney from the agency’s enforcement division in at least one case sought and received tax information about the status of a conservative group, the American Future Fund, before recommending that the commission prosecute it for violations of campaign-finance law. Lerner, the former head of the IRS’s exempt-organizations division, worked at the FEC from 1986 to 1995, and was known for aggressive investigation of conservative groups during her tenure there, too. nationalreview/corner/354801/e-mails-suggest-collusion-between-fec-irs-target-conservative-groups-eliana-johnson
