According to insiders in her testimony Ms Lerner quoted O.J. Simpson: “I yam 200% Innocent!”
How can this be handled to the Republicans’ best advantage?
First, the Republican Committeemembers’ staffs should prepare hundreds of IRS-scandal-related leading questions to be presented to Lois Lerner. For example, ‘’When was the first time you spoke about this to the President?’’
Next, Ms. Lerner should be invited back (subpoenaed) for open-ended Congressional hearings, at which the prepared questions will be asked day after day, and Ms. Lerner can either embarrass herself by remaining silent, implying guilt, or repeat her statements of innocence, boring everyone and implying she’s a fool.
After a week or two of this, the name ‘’Lois Lerner’’ will have become as well-known and ludicrous as the name ‘’Monica Lewinsky’’ still is — a certain laugh line for every late-night comedian.
And the public will identify Ms. Lerner closely with the President since the Republicans’ questions will imply that she visited Obama in the Oval Office to discuss the IRS issues as often as Monica Lewinsky once visited Bill Clinton to discuss their areas of interest.
Hey Issa, grow some Balls and ignore your leadership RINO’s and do your DAMN JOB!
That would be the work of a Special Prosecutor and a Federal Grand Jury. Congressmen ain't got that kind of time.
Yup.
Q. “Was President Obama involved in this scheme to harass conservatives?”
A. “I refuse to respond on the grounds that it may incriminate me.”
Q. “Did you do this on the orders of anyone in the White House?”
A. “I refuse to respond on the grounds that it may incriminate me.”
And so on. Will make wonderful commercials for 2014.
Don't his low information voters think he's Superman? Isn't Superman always associated with women who's names start with LL??!! Superman, meet Lois.
Might as well get started if we’re ever going to get anywhere.
I agree 100%.
But here’s the deal. Special Prosecutor named. Grand Jury impaneled for maximum 18 months. No way any results are known until after 2014 elections, and for 2016 - no Obama to kick around anymore! Democrats have picked the timing.
Question: Who is Lois Lerner?
Answer: She was not Superman’s girlfriend
but she did audit him last year.
The 5th protects someone from "self" incrimination...or testifying against one's self.
She stated she was taking the 5th to keep from incriminating others...and to make that worse, she is aware then by that admission she knows others to be guilty of incriminating acts criminal acts).
To: St_Thomas_Aquinas
Again from Hot Air:
After she reads her statement where she asserts her innocence and pleads the 5th…
Issa says…OK…We understand that, say would you mind just authenticating whether this IG transcript is we received last night is…authentic…We’d really appreciate that..if you don’t mind.
All lawyer chummy…very polite.
Well I haven’t seen that she replies.
Issa says…Oh so sorry…here hand this to her so she can authenticate it please.
She bit.
It looked to me like a cross examination and response.
Looked like a nifty trap to me…and Gowdy saw that too.
Maybe…Gowdy spoke out but was really talking to her lawyer…Cause she screwed up her 5th pleading both in the opening statement and responding to Issa’s innocuous request for authentication of evidence related to the investigation.
If I were her lawyer…I’d try and convince her to cut a deal and spill the beans.

Issa had to let her go today to attend her previously scheduled singing lesson.
It’ll be fun to watch her don the wardrobe of Annie Lee Moss of the McCarthy era, or was it Annie Lee Moses?
Legally, Issa is 100% correct.
Moss.
“Lawsy, I just don’t know why that copy of the Daily Worker kept following me around to everywhere I lived.”
Yeah?
Rush made an excellent point today on that. Said Issa should have continued to ask questions, over and over and over. Let Lerner repeat her refusal over and over and over.
Instead he just excuses her. What does he plan on doing if she simply refuses to appear next time? Uh, nothing. And she and her handlers know that. Not one..damn..thing he can do. Ask the DoJ to come after her? Har har.
Does anyone have any idea what document Issa showed Lerner today? She looked a little stunned while the color was draining from her face.
