She also criticized the Citizens United ruling as one of the worst things to happen in the United States.
Andrew Kugle of the Washington Free Beacon:
Lois Lerner: GOP is ‘Evil and Dishonest’
Former IRS official Lois Lerner said that Republicans are “evil and dishonest,” in a email dated March 26, according to Fox News reporter James Rosen.
In the email, Lois Lerner described the time when she was called back to testify about the IRS targeting of conservatives before Congress.
“They called me back to testify, on IRS ‘scandal,” Lerner wrote. “I took the fifth again and they had been so evil and dishonest in my lawyer’s dealings with them.”
Here’s the video report with James Rosen of FOX News:

Lerner slammed ‘evil and dishonest’ GOP inquisitors
At the height of the scandal over the IRS’ handling of political nonprofits, Lois Lerner privately let loose at her Republican tormentors, saying she invoked the Fifth Amendment because they had been “evil and dishonest” and accusing them of “hate mongering.”
A POLITICO examination of thousands of pages of emails and other material recently released by the Senate Finance Committee found previously unreported comments from Lerner, the central figure in the controversy, on everything from the inability of career IRS agents to handle “the sensitive stuff” to her views on the fiscal cliff.
When she was under investigation by Congress, she offered a blistering critique of her inquisitors. In a March 6, 2014, email, Lerner told a friend: “They called me back to testify on the IRS ‘scandal,’ and I too[k] the 5th again because they had been so evil and dishonest in my lawyer’s dealings with them.”
It’s astounding that Lerner thinks she’s the victim in all of this.

Why isn’t she in jail?
For the same reason Obama hasn’t been impeached.
For the same reason Hillary hasn’t been indicted.
For the same reason Koskinen still has his job.
A cancer throughout the entire government has killed the rule of law.
Compare the treatment of Petraeus and Hilla, esp when considering the actions they are charged with.
Just like Charles The K said. Collectivists see conservatives as evil.
We see them as stupid.
“To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil.”
Lerner didn’t need to be told to be a tyrannical thug. It’s just part of who Collectivists are.
Well, this conservative knows that the progs are evil.
By that calculus then, which is really the stupid one and which is really the evil one?
Ah, there you take us from perceptions to realities! Dr. K was only dealing with how the two ends of the spectrum think.
In reality…objectively…Collectivist live in delusion, as many of us have said many times. This leads to a “voluntary stupid” regardless of one’s native intelligence. It also leads to what many of us see as evil, since it refutes reality and reason as guiding principles and embraces the irrational and immoral.
For instance, the other night one of our Collectivist trolls was able to actually state that an unborn child could be either a human being or a “womb vampire”, depending on your POV. Not only is that evil, it is objectively false, or STOOOOOOooooooOOOOOpid.
I’ve always wondered how it could be a baby if it was wanted and a blob of tissue to be sucked out of the womb if it’s not. It can’t be both.
Did you evar see a purer example of Democrat “Self-Projection” than what Lerner wrote?
“They called me back to testify on the IRS ‘scandal,’ and I too[k] the 5th again because they had been so evil and dishonest in my lawyer’s dealings with them.”
Yeah, no. That’s not why you take the 5th, honey. We ALL know why you did that, and it had nothing to do with anybody being a meanie to your lawyer.
That would be an incorrect exercise of the Fifth Amendment. It is to prevent self incrimination.
I think Lerner must have had a few too many fifths…..
So if Republicans are “evil and dishonest” what would she say about Queen Hillary and the Community Organizer?
She luvs those meeces to pieces – since they employ rats……
She and Hillary are two sides of the same totalitarian coin.
I see an IRS audit in the future for James Rosen.
“I LOVED HER in the Wizard of OZ!” This witch should have to watch everyone that loves her die a painful death, and suffer knowing she may have been the bad part of the Karma Payback!! (what could that be?? no more than 2 or 3 people max!!!)
Also let’s all remember Lois Lerner the republican and conservative hater and criminal was appointed to her first government job by a Bush. The moral “Stay out the Bushes”.
Comrade Lerner was only following her exemplar V.I. Lenin who stated, “What socialism implies above all is keeping account of everything.”
She served the Collective in her capacity as Minister of Purges and Systematic Expulsion.
Comrade Lerner focused on conspiracy theorists, free thinkers and Tea Party members.
Comrade Lerner will receive the V.I. Lenin “a million deaths is a statistic” award.
The Hatch Act, 5 U.S.C.S. §§ 7321-7326, forbids employees of the United States and its agencies, generally, from politicizing the work place.
“Evil and dishonest”, perhaps Lerner is projecting a little? Would using the FEC to damage a senate candidate running against Dick Durbin count as evil and dishonest? Salvi lost under the cloud of Lerner’s investigation.

And the rogue agents story was a lie under oath. Such dishonesty is apparently prerequisite for working in the Obama administration, since they have lied under oath about everything.

At the very least, this pathetic excuse of a human being shouldn’t be allowed to live off of a fat pension for the remainder of her pitiful existence. Employers have recourse for misfit employees who willingly harm a business, and American taxpayers should have some recourse against any rewarding of this viper.
Lois is a victim because she is doing what is right from her perspective. Her moral standards are relative. She sets them not by logical or philosophical or theological reasoning, but by definition. Therefore, anyone who disagrees with her is evil by definition. You agree with her or she will destroy you because you deserve it. See her emails.
She is not unique in the totalitarian left. She is but an example that is now in the light. She has been backfilled I suspect
As a simple matter of English comprehension, I will not read “being so evil and dishonest in dealings with my lawyer” as “they are evil and dishonest people”.
That may be what she means, but it’s not what she said.
All right. Which one of you Republicans is “evil and dishonest”? Out with it you “right wing conspirators”, you “bitter clingers”, you “deniers”, you “common cause” caucus.
Just because EPA officials purposely foul the Animus River in order to secure superfund money doesn’t mean you have to be so… apoplectic.
And, just because the IRS denies Tea Party groups timely non-profit status if at all doesn’t mean that you have to be so downright “evil.”
Meanies, the lot of you. Bhwaaaaa!
