Lois Lerner – IRS hack was formerly FEC political speech “Enforcer”

We’re working on developing this story further, but it’s important to note that Lois Lerner, the designated “fall guy (or gal as the case may be)” in the ongoing IRS scandal, was previously the chief enforcement attorney for the Federal Election Commission (FEC).  In other words, a woman who is highly enthusiastic about the government controlling political speech via the FEC, was probably equally enthusiastic about using the IRS to control political speech with which her employer disagreed.  Shocking?  Hardly.
