ACLJ: Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa said the 141-page report, posted here, “offers detailed evidence about steps she took to crack down on organizations that exercised their Constitutional rights to free political speech.” “The findings are extremely disturbing but hardly surprising,” said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ. “This report underscores what we have known for many months now: Lois Lerner’s maliciousness and corruption are well documented and very clear. What is also clear in this report is the extent to which she acted to ensure that the agency intentionally waged a battle against conservative 501(c)(4)’s, violating their rights of freedom of speech and association, because it had an ideological disagreement with the Supreme Court and with the Tea Party. It’s not the job of the IRS to overrule the Supreme Court, and it’s not the job of the IRS to crush political movements its leaders dislike. Her deep involvement in this scheme raises even more questions about who else was involved - including at the White House.”
