She will be pleading the fifth AGAIN

Issa has subpoenaed Lois Lerner again in the IRS hearings and her lawyers say unless she is given immunity she will plead the fifth and is asking that she not be force to show up if all she is going to do is plead the fifth again.

If this woman did not lie the first time she was in front of the Congress when she said she did nothing illegal than why is she now hiding out and requesting immunity for her testimony? :?

Ex-IRS official Lerner's attorney says no Hill testimony without immunity or court order
FoxNews.com | 2/26/26 | Fox News.


The attorney for Lois Lerner, a central figure in the IRS scandal, signaled Wednesday that his client will not comply with a request to testify on Capitol Hill next week.

Attorney William Taylor said Lerner, who resigned last year as the agency’s tax-exempt organizations chief, will return and testify only if compelled by a federal court or if given immunity for her testimony.

Taylor stated his position in a letter to Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. He was responding to a letter Tuesday from Issa saying, in part, that Lerner’s testimony remains “critical to the committee’s investigation.”

The committee continues to investigate the IRS' targeting of Tea Party groups and other conservative organizations trying to get tax-exempt status.

Despite Taylor's letter, staffers with the committee told Fox News they still expect Lerner to show up on March 5. Unclear is whether she would answer any questions.

Won't you love to know if our resident lawman supports an employee of the US tax payers refusing to answer question about CORRUPTION in the Obama Administrations IRS? Wonder if he thinks she should get away with perjury as if she is INNOCENT like she claimed in her testimony to the Congressional hearing what does she need immunity from now?

His SILENCE tells me he supports her lying just like he supports OBAMA LYING and Obama calling his Wife and Grandkids MONGRELS. :wink:

But there was another interesting testimony today when the Treasury IG, that did the investigation into the IRS and found the illegal targeting, testified Lerner was the one that arranged to leak the targeting of Conservatives group out to the press by arranging a question be asked about it at a meeting she was speaking at. WHY would she do that and then invoke the fifth, unless she knew it was happening, did nothing to stop it and thought if it came out before the IG report it would be OLD NEWS and the Liberal bias media that has been protecting Obama's corruption for day one would put it off as "we were told about this and it is no big deal" ANd the issue would just be dropped?

I don't think she thought there would be such a backlash about the IRS being used to punish Obama opponents. But the Dems including Oldtimer that thinks this is no big deal better remember what goes around comes around. The Dems will live to regret Obama's unconstitutional executive re-writing of laws, Holder picking and choosing what US Laws he is going to enforce and those the State have to enforce, Reid's abolishing of the Filibuster and the turning of the IRS into a tool to punish Political opponents. I just hope it is in 2015 after the voters hand Obama another history making midterm DEFEAT. He and the Dems did not learn from the 2010 election so it is time to give them an even BIGGER LESSON. :mad:

Jason Chaffetz was on today saying Trey Goudy argued that Lerner gave up her right to invoke the fifth when she claimed she was innocent then invoke her rights the first time she appeared before the Committee. He won and that is why Lerner has been subpoenaed, and the Committee has no intention of giving her immunity and if she does not show up to answer their question she will be held in Contempt just like anyone else that refused to show up once they have be SUBPOENA.

If Goudy gets a crack at her, she will be begging to spend some time in the House jail just to give her time to get a defense together. I say if, because even if this report is correct, you know zero will be looking in go providing his own immunity. Think Holder.

Why is it legal for the top official to impede investigation again?

I wish there would be a major stir up in the Republican leadership and they would get rid of Boehner and the new Speaker of the House get rid of Issa and put Trey G in charge of the Oversight Committee. As He seems to be getting a little sick of the stonewalling and the lack of movement under Issa's Chairmanship. They need somebody that is willing to get the ball moving and Issa seems to be willing to give these corrupt heads of departments all the friggin time they want to hide/destroy evidence, while Obama turns the blame game back on the Republicans.

I would like to see Boehner GONE as he seems to think the voting public is going to support a party that can't handle more than one issue at a time. :x
I'm sick of hearing the Republican leadership telling candidates/Congressman that they are to stop bringing up other issues as they are going to concentrate on "Obamacare" to defeat the Dems. Meanwhile the Military is being gutted, and the debt is skyrocketing because the entitlement programs are being stuffed full of yet more people making them dependent on the Dems for the FREE STUFF.

Boehner did not want a fight over the Debt ceiling as it would be a "DISTRACTION" for the 2014 Election. The Skyrocketing National Debt should be a VERY BIG ISSUE IN THE 2014 ELECTION. But Nope Boehner and the Republican leadership can't risk dealing with TWO BIG ISSUES AT ONCE. :roll:

People wonder why the US Congress and Senate NEVER GET ANYTHING DONE and their job approval rating is so low. I'll tell you why, it is because you are NEVER OUT OF AN ELECTION CYCLE and the leaders will not risk doing anything that might offend a single voter as they might lose their cushy job. :x

Term limit ALL these career Politicians and if they don't do the job in their first term. they don't get to stick around for their second term. If any of these people had to go back out and actually make a living with the regulations they are hanging around the necks of business owners maybe they would read the bills before they pass them. :x
