You specifically targeted groups based on their politics and religious affiliation in the hopes of intimidation and for the advancement of liberalism. THAT WAS WRONG! You may have also altered the election outcome...THAT WAS WRONG!

Nice of her to testify that she’s innocent and only then plead the 5th.

If you have have not done anything wrong then why do you think you need to take protection under the 5th Amendment for performing your GOVERNMENT JOB?

You (or any government employee) should be immediately fired and then arrested.

Then you can take the fifth in your jail cell.

Lois Lerner saying she didn't do anything wrong, well the obozo hussein said it himself; “if you don't have anything to hide then tell the truth.

I'm surprised she didn't resort to "Have you no shame?"

Hey, that idiot Judge — Lance Ito — let O.J. Simpson tell the jury from counsel table "I am one hundred percent not guilty", without O.J. being obliged to take the stand, swear in or be cross-examined.

""I have not done anything wrong,""

According to the Alinsky rules of 0bama.

*******

" "I have not broken any laws."

Because I have yet to be convicted.

*********

I have not violated any IRS rules or regulations

Because the rules don't apply to me.

*********

"I have not provided false information to this or any other congressional committee"

Because I refuse to supply any info to you critters.
