Do you remember the Watergate hearings and the special prosecutor? Do you think Holder will play the role of Bork or Richardson? Do you think the Senate would go along with a special prosecutor or independent counsel.
You can still have Congressional hearings with a special prosecutor.
Things being what they are today. If taken in for questioning, just invoke your right to remain silent. The best thing to do is to do under oath is take the 5th. Anything else they wind up making your life miserable, and try to convict you of perjury.
Lots of people live to regret opening their mouth.
Don’t remember Watergate. Just the “Nixon Now” fishing hat my dad had in the basement. Thanks for the input.
Question: Is there a difference between a special prosecutor and an independent counsel?
I am sorry but I can't speak for Mr. Levin. Possibly he was talking about a "Select Committee" which could be set up for the specific purpose of conducting the investigations but it would still be a legislative body and would have to defer to the Justice Department for any criminal prosecution. I may be in the minority, but would counsel patience. So far, the appropriate congressional committees are doing a good job and setting up a select committee would just delay the process. Jumping on Speaker Boehner for not doing something he has no authority to do certainly does not help the situation.
That is what I was going to do if they found me to go before grand jury - not one word to that judge's people. It couldn't have been legal for them to accuse my friend over and over of lying. I thought she had to shut up or they were going to get her for something made up.
The friend was a computer expert and the lawless judge hated her guts. I was surprised the judge didn't indict her for something.
The lights are on and the administration cockroaches are scurrying for cover!
Give her immunity and force her to testify or spend time un jail............
All the sources that I looked up indicate that a special prosecutor may be appointed by the judiciary or by Congress.
If we don’t get any names soon, this investigation/ prosecution will go nowhere.
Crap - I’ve got severe thunderstorm warning until 1 am. The line of the present storm will soon be over me but I am on the end of it as most of it is north of me. Have my battery lantern by my chair if I lose power.
.....and the stink rises to the top!
“Don’t remember Watergate.”
I saw it all. The first time John Dean’s wife came in the room, all the men in the room nearly had a heart attack. She was an absolute knock out.
That comes later.
You don't offer immunity until you've learned what the truth actually is. You can't afford to give her immunity without that safeguard because she might then give misleading testimony...and she couldn't be charged with perjury.
She'll have another turn.
The term "special prosecutor" may have a variety of meanings from one country to the next, from one government branch to the next within the same country, and within different agencies within each government branch. Critics of the use of special prosecutors argue that these investigators act as a "4th branch" to the government because they are not subject to limitations in spending or have deadlines to meet.
Attorneys in the United States may be appointed/hired particularly or employed generally by different branches of the government to investigate. When appointed/hired particularly by the Judicial Branch to investigate and, if justified, seek indictments in a particular judicial branch case, the attorney is called special prosecutor. When appointed/hired particularly by a governmental branch or agency to investigate alleged misconduct within that branch or agency, the attorney is called independent counsel. When employed by the state or political subdivision to assist in a particular Judicial Branch case when the public interest so requires, the attorney is called special counsel.
I’m greedy, I want em all behind bars....Nuremburg proved you can’t rely on “I was just following Orders.” Hang em all says I.
uh, but for the 2nd there would be no fifth..........
The sad truth is, she knows she’s more likely to get into serious legal trouble for lying to congress than targeting conservatives via the IRS. There’s more wiggle room on the targeting front than lying to congress and being caught in black and white.
Nope.
“The claim and exercise of a constitutional right cannot be converted into a crime.· - Miller v. U.S., 230 F 2d 486, 489.
Yes, and this woman should not profit from her years as an IRS employee. She should be paying massive fines, and lose her job, pension, and benefits in exchange for her immunity/testimony and freedom from incarceration. She should be prohibited from ever again working for the government in any capacity. In short hammer her into the ground for any testimony that provides immunity from prosecution.
Hats crimes are the equivalent of Orwellian thought crimes - it is presumed to know what another is thinking.
As we lose more and more of our freedoms, the level of evidence required will be dropped lower and lower.
Nice! I love rain. I’d love any weather besides ‘hot, sunny, and clear.’
