There is more than just this going on. Someone somewhere has been turned.

Abolish the IRS!

Top IRS official will invoke Fifth Amendment

Guilty as hell and doesn't want to end up in an alley with a bullet in her head for implicating the kenyan usurper.

[BAW]

She might get tossed out soon. It’s embarrassing to Bambi when his stoolies won’t lie for him.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Is she sure it’s the 5th Amendment? After all, she admits she isn’t very good at math.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Next to nothing happened....

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Even I know that you don't have to claim the fifth, you just do what Hillary does:

"I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall. I don't recall."

How hard is it?

[SampleMan]

Well, if she is going to play the game, let’s get it on the nightly news.

My understanding is that you cann’t selectively take the 5th, you have to take it on every question.

Therefore, the very first question should be, “Did you get direct orders from President Obama to use the power and force of your office to go after his political enemies?”

Answer, “I take the 5th.”

Follow up, “So in order to prevent incriminating yourself in a felony, you are taking the 5th.”

Answer, “I take the 5th.”

[wideawake]

Some prominent journalist, if they haven’t already, needs to label this IRS audit/AP wiretap cloud of scandals as “Obama’s War on the First Amendment.”

bttt

[wiggen]

ah but conspiracy or acting alone?

[Dr. Sivana]

Find out all we can, and when we have a decent picture and confirm, give her immunity (a la Ollie North, as she ain’t no Ollie North). She is not the fish we want.

[redgolum]

Interesting.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Leavenworth Penitentiary would be a good place for her.

[Steely Tom]

Testifying before Congress is a Civil proceeding.

There is no 5th amendment protection in a civil proceeding.

Silly me. Taking seriously a headline of the LA Times.

So why can't she just say "no comment" ?

[Red Badger]

[Jim Noble]

Use immunity, and I mean right now.

[onyx]

You’re right.

BTTT

“I don’t give a shit what happens. I want you all to stonewall it, let them plead the Fifth Amendment, cover up or anything else, if it’ll save it—save this plan. That’s the whole point. We’re going to protect our people if we can.” ~ Richard M. Nixon, 37th President

[jonno]

Two incongruent statements:

“She has not committed any crime...”

“I refuse to answer on the grounds that I may incriminate myself...”
