Lois Lerner To Republican Candidate in 1996: “Promise me You Will Never Run Again, and We’ll Drop the (FEC) Case”

Wow, this Lois Lerner is a piece of work, isn’t she? - Nice Deb

We’d already heard about some of her antics while she was head of the Enforcement Division of the Federal Election Commission (FEC), under Clinton.

Now, via Illinois Review we find out how in 1996, Lerner went after Republican State Rep. Al Salvi who was running for US Senate in Illinois.
According to Salvi, Lerner was without question, politically motivated, and went so far as to make him an offer: ”Promise me you will never run for office again, and we’ll drop this case.”
Salvi, who had nothing to hide, declined her offer and the case against him was eventually dismissed.
