She violates the American peoples’ First Amendment and then hides behind the Fifth Amendment.
If you watch Lerner closely in the Gowdy footage

you can see that when the crowd applauds she involuntarily looks down - because that one HURTS.
This is just another high-ranking political crony driving back and forth from Fairfax, Prince George’s County or wherever and collecting bonuses who thought she was on the inside track to affluence all on the taxpayer’s dime.
They have coached her, told her to keep mum and keep her poise but - chauvinism warning - women generally aren’t quite as good at keeping a poker face.
She didn’t expect to be in this position and she certainly didn’t expect to receive the public’s scorn live and in person, however tepid it might have been in the committee chamber.
