Lois Lerner is quite possibly one of the most unpopular people in America right along with Barack Obama, and after this latest scandal blowing up across the Internet, her fan base might go from a few to none rather quickly.
During her time at the IRS, presumably before she started massively targeting conservative non-profit groups for audit, Lerner was helping the Muslim Brotherhood front groups establish themselves right here in America.
Documents have surfaced which indicate that Lerner granted 501 (c)(3) status to several Muslim groups that have direct connections to the Muslim Brotherhood back in 2005.

Was the Hamzah Islamic Center on terror organization watch lists in 2005?
Because I can not find that information anywhere in your article.
(When I Google them now, I don't find any mention of them being a terrorist organization).

Don't you think George Soros, a known Muslim Brotherhood supporter and known to have supported Lois Lerner's efforts against Conservative groups might have "gotten to" Lerner back in the Bush days?
Soros spent big money trying to defeat Bush.
A worthy conspiracy.
I think there's a connection hidden deep.

Of course you do. Any chance you have any clear evidence for any portion of this claim?
Pro Tip: The Blaze does not qualify.
EDIT: Neither does World News Daily or any of that ilk.
Also, If Mr. Soros spent money campaigning, that's just exercising freedom of speech, right? According to Citizens United? Right?
What's your beef with that? Are you against free speech?

One of the reasons Republicans like Rep. Mike Kelly from Pennsylvania won’t come forward with the truth about Malik Obama’s tax exempt status and Lois Lerner’s role in it likely has to do with what she was permitted to do when a Republican president was in office. Calling attention to Lerner’s signature being at the bottom of the Barack H. Obama Foundation’s (BHOF) approval letter is certain to cause the Republican Party headaches over its complicity in taking the country to where it is today.
Based on a 2009 article that appeared in the Washington Post and a March 2013 report by CNN, Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) – who authored a resolution calling for the Sergeant at Arms to arrest Lois Lerner for contempt of Congress – should perhaps point to a much more significant crime in response to any concerns that Lerner could become a sympathetic figure if she were arrested.
That crime involves Lerner's alleged illegal backdating of a tax exempt approval letter for an organization whose founder does business with a State Sponsor of Terrorism, business the Post says is illegal.
U.S. legal requirements… mandate disclosure of work for foreign governments and which prohibit doing business with Sudan under sanctions first imposed in the 1990s.
…Sudan, which has been under strict U.S. government sanctions and a trade embargo for nearly 20 years for supporting terrorism and violating human rights.
As Shoebat.com has demonstrated for over a year now, Malik Obama – the brother of the President of the United States – has been "doing business with Sudan" since at least 2010, a year prior to when Lerner granted him tax exempt status.
In this photo, from the Barack H. Obama Foundation (BHOF) website, headed by Malik, Bashir can be seen dressed in black, to the right. Another man to take notice of is seated directly to the right of Bashir; his name is Suar Al Dahab

Progressive infiltrators is my guess.
If these allegations are substantiated ...
Where's Joe McCarthy when you need him? I'd love to see Trey Gowdy take over his legacy.

How does anyone know for sure that the MB isn't funding terrorists?

Right. So, Malik Obama (a citizen of Kenya) was doing business with the nation of Sudan and various other Muslims (*shakes fist at sky*) in 2010, and Reaganite Robert McFarlane was covering it up in 2009 while Lois Lerner was backdating documents to 2005.
Were Doc Brown and Marty McFly seen anywhere nearby in a DeLorean perhaps? One wonders given the apparent time travel involved.
All these boondoggles are verified by another of the same class of wingnut websites that all cross-post each other's drivel each day to generate Google links to somehow make this kind of baseless BS appear more authentic.
Meanwhile, real criminals commit real atrocities around the world, while we play pin the tale on the hapless IRS patsy, Ms. Lerner.
Brilliant.
As pointed out in our Complaint, federal law requires that organizations seeking to be 501(c)(3) tax-deductible charities must first make a successful application to the Internal Revenue Service and satisfy the standards ensuring the applicant would adhere to the requirements associated with operating a 501(c)(3).
Among the requirements following the certification of an applicant as a 501(c)(3), is the requirement that the group file an annual IRS Form 990 which sets forth income, expenditure, salary, consultant compensation and a host of other details which allow the public, the IRS and the media to assess whether the group is carrying out its obligations in an ethical and legal manner.
Since the Obama Foundation appears never to have applied for 501(c)(3) status and consequently never filed an IRS Form 990, these apparent violations of Federal tax law and regulations constitute grounds for an investigation and the application of sanctions, if appropriate.
The Foundation's original registered agent in the United States is an American named Alton Ray Baysden, who admitted to the Post that the group has not even applied for tax-exempt status.
