My... another transparent Obama administration employee.Embattled IRS official Lois Lerner will not testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee unless she’s given immunity from prosecution, her lawyer told POLITICO Tuesday.
My... another transparent Obama administration employee.
Well... I think we should go into the files and see who she and her Gestapo style Posse called, and for how long and how often. If they can log our calls... I'm sure they would be watching our little IRS/Gestapo too.
Put those records to good use... lets' have Lerner and her Posse of Taxholes at bat, and learn a thing or two more about how these thugs operate.
By what right will she not testify? I didn't know testifying was optional.
She has invoked her 5th Amendment rights.
If you want the truth then immunity will be appropriate. The political hostility that leads people to twist people's words and engage in trickery are the reason people are like this. "Well early you testified that the file was big and now you are saying it is large. Which is it, big or large and why are you changing your story?"
By what right will she not testify? I didn't know testifying was optional.
It's my understanding that a court ruled that, since she gave a statement, she effectively waived those rights. ??
It had to come down to this. Testimony comes with a price tag. Who knows what the truth might cost?
News to me this has been litigated in relation to her. You have a link to that as I have not seen it reported? Either way, the most she could get would be a year for not testifying and being in contempt of Congress.
A House Republican-led committee approved a resolution Friday declaring that high-ranking IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination by delivering a statement before the committee in May.

Maybe they can compromise and get both. Every time I conclude that the GOP is as dumb as a box of rocks, they surprise me a little. Just a little.Who knows indeed, but I don't think the committee is as interested in truth as they are with a crucifixion.
I guess I'm wrong here...it seems it was the committee -- I sure thought I read it was a court, though. Anybody?
Edit: Nah, don't bother looking. I was wrong.

The only people not interested in the truth are the Fascist thugs defending this corrupt and vile administration using the IRS like the Gestapo
Since when are you interested in truth?
We've already seen the righties come out and denounce any evidence that didn't support their theory of Obama directing it personally as "lies."
Breaking the law is still a crime even if Obama did not direct it. Why is it OK to target anyone for special treatment under the federal tax law based upon their name? Whether the IRS BOLO names listed were based on a particular political slant or not - it is still illegal.

It's not special treatment it's about scrutiny and applying the law. It's a no brainer that looking at organizations with "Tea Party" is a great way to funnel out organizations that are political not social welfare groups. Just like "9/12" or "Progressive" or any of the other names they used. Now if they were denying "Tea Party" groups and allowing progressive/liberal groups to get the status that would be unequal treatment.
:lol: :doh What about those with "union" in the name? :roll: What social welfare mission does Media Matters involve itself in? They clearly state their mission as having an anti-conservative bias.
You and your cronies want to obfuscate and misdirect. Make this about the committee and not about the IRS acting like the Gestapo for the Obama Administration. That's how corruption grows and spreads. People like you excuse it, rationalize it and cheer it on because the power behind that corruption is directed against your opposition. Why don't you tell us why the Bill of Rights only applies to one political ideology in the United States under the Obama Administration. Instead of playing cowardly games and trying to smear the people investigating the corruption, why don't you tell us all why this corruption and abuse of power should be allowed to flourish and continue.
