Issa: New Koskinen Testimony Will Turn Up Heat On Lois Lerner (VIDEO)

I think this criminal enterprise (AKA the Obama administration) will run out the clock ‘til the next inauguration. The day before, Obama will start issuing pardons.

He’ll be up all night signing the damned things.

AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO LET THIS HAPPEN.

Minor correction....I was not comparing the Plame case and the Lerner case in any way, shape or form. I was pointing out the media person involved who took the Fifth, but ended up going into the clink anyhow.

So, Mizz Lerner may not escape jail time by taking the Fifth as a protection.

The rest of your post is spot on.

Hi, Pete!

I don't think the Dems will be able to run out the clock in the Lerner investigation/stonewalling developments till the next presidential campaign begins in earnest or till inauguration day in D.C.

I'm convinced the GOP sleuths would not be investing this much time, energy and taxpayers' money in this case if they didn't ALREADY have enough damning evidence safely in hand.

What we're seeing now is the "flipping" process underway to ice the cake. John Koskinen, the new IRS comish, has already phoned into congress central to "clarify" his previous sworn testimony. Hah!

Watch for other under-reported clues in the next two weeks....the dominos are starting to fall - I have little to zero doubt.

Actually, a criminal referal on Lerner was sent to the Injustice Department around the 9th of April. Of course, Holder has done nothing, afterall his sworn duty is to preserve, protect and defend obama’s reputation against all enemies, particularly Tea Party enemies.

The ball has been in Holder’s court for months. I know that the default opinion here at FR is “why hasn’t Issa (or Boehner, or Camp) thrown Lerner and Holder in jail” but we have a little problem there, and it is called the Consitution of the United States and the separation of powers. Yes, yes, yes, (and again yes) I know that there is an implied constitutional power of congress to arrest and hold recalcitrant witnesses. The problem there is that it is not an enumerated power of congress, and it rests on rather murky ground (as I see it) in case law. That, coupled with the ability of the dem propaganda machine (CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, etc.) to scream and blare distortion and lies made it impossible to gain by incarcerating Lerner or Holder. At the very time that the criminal referal was sent, Elijah Cummings was huffing and puffing about McCarthyism. In my opinion, incarcerating Lerner at that time would have backfired big time.

We may be getting to a sweet spot. Koskinen wants to amend his sworn testimony (likely further incriminating Lerner) and then the two court actions this week are likely to fall in the direction we want them to fall. If this does not get eclipsed by a Marrieta showdown, or the emergency evacuation of the embassy in Baghdad, or both, we might see a special counsel appointment real soon. In any event, the True the Vote suit will continue, so regardless of what happens in congress, this one will not completely die.

***Slow Lerner should abandon the Fifth, request and be granted full immunity***

I have to disagree on the immunity thingy... Lois Lerner is a gangster, has been going back to her work for the FEC [elections]. She has committed serious Constitutional abuses going back long before Ob@ma.

Also, as you say, immunity is useless because without a prosecutor and threat of prison to various, the Democrap Communist Ruling Oligarchy is going to take care of her One way or the other!
