Will the DOJ be responsible for initiating this prosecution?
If so, I'm sure Eric Holder will be all over this. /S
I hold the IRS in contempt.
“A contempt of Congress vote could lead to her being prosecuted in a court and subject her to a maximum $1,000 fine and potential 12-month prison sentence”
Riiiiiiiight! Like that’s gonna happen!
Yes. No “Contempt possible” or ‘probable’.
Just DO IT and put her Democratic, lyinhg ass in jail as a lesson to the other Obamite drones that there is a penalty that will be paid for lying to Congress (Hillary is next).
The Democrats protected Lerner saying HER RIGHTS
were more important than the entire US public.
Why? Because the road leads to the IMPOSTER.
How will she be prosecuted? By the Justice Department? Fat chance. The Congress already held Holder in contempt to no effect. The power of congress is the power of the purse and until they start using it they will be ignored by this lawless administration.
The plan is not to jail her, but threaten to.
Trey Gowdy explained the process: they are going to use this and their subpoena power to work their way up the chain, forcing people to talk.
This is just the starting point. She’s going to talk.
A contempt charge will probably just get her a big fat promotion.
Agreed, but Chairman Issa screwed up the moment he let leave the Hearing Room.
Republicans still think Civility will earn them respect. There is no Civility coming from the Democrats.
BTW - Has anyone noticed that the term “The Loyal Opposition” is only used when the Democrats are the Minority Party?
I was watching an old Rockford Files episode and he was called to testify before a Grand Jury. He was answering questions and then he said he didn’t want to answer citing the 5th amendment. His attorney told him that he couldn’t use the 5th because he had already willingly answered other questions. When I head that I thought immediately of Lois Lerner and how she had somewhat done the same thing.
Kind of funny I thought.
Throw her in jail. Let her serve as an example to others.
Obama will use the Presidential Pardon Power.
Naw. She ain’t going to the slam. Obama will give her an ambassadorship to some country. Maybe Iran, Iraq, Egypt, etc. One of his muzzie friend nations. She’d fit in good there.
No, make sure he testifies first as this stinks at the source which is the top of the White Hut.
They used to burn witches! Oh dear so insensitive... Buhahahaha!!!!
As a federal employee, she works for the People.
She doesn’t want to testify to the representatives of the People?
Then she should be relieved of her position, give up her TSP and face the charges. Better yet, just ship her filthy communist rat azz off to Gitmo and let those super spooks work on her a while. She’ll sing like a canary then!
Pish posh. Even though Holder has proven that this administration has no regard for Congressional contempt, look to Congress to blather and dither over whether or not to take such a “serious” action involving Lerner. I hold them ALL in contempt, and I don’t think they care either.
Sure. We’re going to get them all and put them in jail, and go after their bosses. We have that Right, you know.
We need a Revolution in this country, and it isn’t happening. If so many people are so pissed off about so many things the “Government” is doing or not doing, then why are we even having this conversation?
We should all exercise our 2nd Amendment and head for Washington, DC, to let the a$$hoes know WE WANT AMERICA BACK NOW!!!
What is it going to take to galvanize this country into action?
