#3 Hope Lois stays away from dark street corners and has somebody else start her car; at least until after she testifies.....

#4 Ought to be a little IRS pension caveat.

Please tell us everything you know about this Tea Party business in this here signed [by you] sworn affidavit and your retirement checks will start coming next month. If we find out you lied.... the pension stops immediately.

Have a nice day.

#6 Well g(r)om, a pensioned learner simply proves the US Gov't has no desire for discovery with regard to the IRS affair.

A Federal pension must be APPLIED for, and approved. Again, a retirement pension does not come automatically. It must be applied, requested, and approved by the agency of the gov't acting as the employer.

The famous 'delayer', Lois Lerner could easily experience a little 'delay' in receiving her pension. Good enough for us, good enough for her.

Under the circumstances, Lerner's pension would have had to have been approved at the highest levels of the IRS, DOJ, or possibly the White House. The shielding of harm and criminal discovery of the first black president continues.

#7 Do you think it won't be immediately approved? Why not, it's not like the MSM will report it or anything.

#8 I suspect it's already been approved and backdated as well. I know of no provision for a federal employee to sit at home indefinitely, on some kind of administrative leave [other than medical] and receive normal compensation.

#9 IIRC she isn't normal civil servant and the position is subject to the old patronage hiring and firing that goes with all administrations. Couldn't have taken this long for the appropriate government lawyer to determine that she could/should have been fired long ago. Of course when you can name names and point fingers, the 'other' people would be making sure that either you had a smooth transition to another job in the 'Party' or maybe a visit to Fort Marcy Park. Too high profile for the latter right now.

#10 Looks like bad news for the taxpayer on the pension front...

#11 If Lerner's position as a top IRS enforcer were to place her in a special 'law enforcement officer' retirement category, that amount would jump to over $61,700.

Who wants to bet that Lois considers herself a "law enforcement officer"?

#12 ..well, she does appear to have been an 'enforcer' for the WH. In the military the commander sets the tone of the organization, so yeah, for the WH.

#13 Instead of a pension she should be getting penitentiary.
