Cummings said the hearing is not the same as a trial. I’d imagine Lerner’s attorneys will come back and say she did not answer any questions, only made a statement - parse it to their advantage.
Cummings says that but it is a self-serving attempt to protect the Administration. If what he says is true, Congress loses its power to subpoena and to prosecute people for lying to Congress. There would be no meaning to the oath given before testimony.
The Dems will grudgingly give on this because they realize the may be in the GOP’s role in a different administration.
Holy Schneikes! Now this is an occasion for citizens to write/call/email their congresscritter and tell them you support Issa’s decision and so should they! Don’t know last time I wrote my congressman, but am doing it right now.
Mmmmm.... but she did. It was an innocuous question about identifying some document or testimony to which she answered, "Yes." It took me a minute to realize what he had done.
She looked pretty damn smug when making her statement, now lets see how arrogant she will be when put in the hot seat next time. No question she knows plenty and is protecting not only Odumbo but her own gubmint career.
