Lois Lerner - deja vu

[boomerang]

Pleads the fifth again. What is she hiding?

Lois Lerner pleads the fifth again, doesn't testify on IRS targeting

 

[Londo_Jowo]

According to airdata she's guilty cut and dry.

Everyone who sits in front of any hearing by Issa should plead the 5th until he shows he's serious about oversight by holding a hearing against himself for his multiple illegal leaks of classified information.

She needs to be tossed in jail. She's obviously hiding something. If she had told the truth all along there would be no conceivable reason to need to plead the 5th since there would be no conceivable criminal action against her. My guess is that she's protecting the involvement of the higher ups in the party (white house?).

You should start a thread about your hate for Issa. It would probably be a really bitchin' cool thread.

I'm trying to figure out her motives based on earlier reporting that she intended to testify. Maybe somebody got to her?

You should start a thread about other instances in which you have issues with a person freely exercising their rights. I'm sure you have many rights which you hate other than just the Fifth Amendment.

Can anyone tell me why there has not been an independent special prosecutor assigned to the IRS scandal?

I keep hearing that's going to be the next step but it hasn't happened yet. I will venture a guess. It's pure politics. It's being drug out so it will be closer to the mid-terms. It's the best way to maximize the damage.

No need to get all huffy, it was just a suggestion.

Fox News and that troll Daryl Issa have egg on their faces.

They touted the exclusive story that LL would testify this week and not take the 5th.


In the words of Nelson Muntz...

"HA HA!"

Lessee, Lerner pleads the Fifth like any run of the mill drug lord over the politically motivated IRS persecution and you feel it's Fox News and Issa who have egg on their faces?

Wow! Some people simply cannot get enough government boot on their necks.

Well, I see school's out for the day.

Given the ramp up needed for a special prosecutor to be effective, you'd think there would have been one by now.

Both directions make for great political theater. *Though at this point it is pretty obvious that there was specific targeting of conservative groups vs progressive groups. I don't care if the executive branch was involved or not, that is not acceptable protocol for the IRS and I would feel equally adamant about it if the IRS was unfairly targeting liberal/progressive groups vs conservative.

It is a prime example of how power gets invented and abused in gov't as any agency grows larger and larger in size and scope.

Issa is a giant turd.

Did you read the article this time, or just the title? I'm just trying to figure out if I should ever bother reading one of your posts. Thanks!

That's for sure, but it is the usual dunces.

 

[boomerang]

Just ran across this. I guess we're to believe she's getting death threats.

Lawyer to Darrell Issa: Lois Lerner facing threats

Guess the progz really don't want her to testify. Maybe the death threats are coming out of the White House.

No Boris, don't bother. We're not looking for the Commie viewpoint plus you've never contributed anything worth reading. Go back to reading Pravda.

Go back to reading your polyps.

 

[senseamp]

She already pleaded the fifth last time, I guess Issa didn't hear it. Or he thinks that the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution is something that you can waive once and for all, and not something you can assert at any time.

 

[Drako]

Why did she and her attorney agree to testify, and then change their minds? :hmm:

No Fifth Amendment assertion, no Presidential pardon and no job.

Understood, but why would they even agree in the first place?
