Issa says committee could consider holding Lerner in contempt next week
Fox news ^ | March 05, 2014

Posted on 03/05/2014 7:07:17 PM PST by Red Steel

California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa told Fox News Wednesday his House committee could move as early as next week to consider holding former IRS official Lois Lerner in contempt.

Lerner refused earlier in the day to testify on her role in the agency’s targeting of Tea Party and other conservative groups.

Her decision to plead the Fifth Amendment marked the second time in 10 months that she asserted her constitutional right not to testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Affairs.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said of her refusal, “at some point Lerner must testify” or be held in contempt.

“Our committee will consider it,” Issa, the committee chairman, told Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren on “On the Record.”

“We could consider it as early as next week.”

I wonder, wonder, wonder when.....when will “talking the talk” become “walking the walk”?......

....I’m still wondering, but have decided not to hold my breath whilst I wait and wonder.

Not holding my breath. The pubbies will wimp out. Even if they held her in contempt, Obama and Holder will pull a ‘never mind’ Jedi mind trick, and the sissypants won’t want to be called racists by bucking them...

and too treasonous??

They did. They thought about it. They laughed about it. They forgot about it.

If memory serves, he said almost the exact same thing last year.

By the way, whatever happened to Sheriff Joe's "earthshaking revelations?"

I'm sure there's no pattern here.

Issa is currently a LAUGHING STOCK amongst those of us "Regular" American citizens who care about the DC apparatchik war on the right.

He's pissing off the Pope.

Testimony to Issa would be the easy way. An angry citizen, unhappy with the way their taxes are spent may grab her and impose more leftist tactics to make her sing like a canary. Myself, I would not hold back at the incremental increase in force against this certain criminal communist. The muslims that Zero worships know how to do head chopping. Is turnabout not fair play?
