IRS scandal figure Lois Lerner is negotiating through her lawyers with Rep. Darrell Issa’s House Oversight and Government Reform Committee about possibly gaining immunity to testify again in the committee’s investigative hearings.
“The Chairman did not adjourn the hearing, he recessed it. Ms. Lerner remains under subpoena. The Committee has not made any offer of immunity to Ms. Lerner. The Committee has, however, indicated a willingness to listen to any offers from her attorney about what she would testify to if it was offered,” Oversight Committee adviser Ali Ahmad told The Daily Caller.
“I don’t have any update for you on timing,” Ahmad said in regard to when Lerner will be called back before the committee.
Though Lerner, who apologized for her IRS division’s improper scrutiny of conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status, can be called back before Issa’s committee without immunity, and even arrested if she doesn’t show up, Oversight seems to be taking a more diplomatic approach to get information out of her.
Washington-based Lerner tried to plead the Fifth to avoid self-incrimination in congressional testimony in May, but the Oversight Committee ruled that she waived her Fifth Amendment rights when she said “I have not broken any laws” before attempting her plea.
Emails released this month show Lerner appearing to collude with Democratic operatives and the Federal Election Commission in targeting tea party groups in 2011.
The IRS did not return a request for comment on the nature of Lerner’s negotiations with investigators.
It’d be a mistake to offer her immunity. All she would do at that point is say, “Yeah, it was all my idea.”
No immunity! The GOOBers have fallen for that ploy before. Give her immunity and you’ll never get her to talk. Threaten her with prison and you’ll never shut her up.
Oh-bama...
The commie hoe has been undermining America for 20 years. She needs a public conviction.
She needs to do serious prison time.
No. Send her to prison and have a wardrobe of orange jumpsuits.
“”Though Lerner, who apologized””
I sure don’t remember that happening!!!!
She will do or say anything to protect the son of a bitch that put her up to it.
She will be protected, count on it.
She should be watching her back however, she has lots of enemies. Frankly I hope the bitch acquires a long debilitating disease that eats all of her fiber and being. She deserves to rot in hell with the rest of the traitors.
immunity , BLAH , Obama will give her a Pardon, then place in his Admin where no one can touch her ,just like Rice
She should be careful crossing the street-—accidents happen.
“But... of course I did nothing wrong.”
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
But the BIGGER scandal that America is concerned about is a southern woman that has a cooking show who said the N word 30 years ago.
don’t write filth like that, OK?
This is not democrap underground
Keep in mind the Vince Foster solution. Hilldebeast will clean out her office and home.
The GOP should make an example out of this human pitbull if they don’t want Democrats using the IRS as a personal hit squad in the future.
Something for the federal drones to whisper about at the water cooler.
Who are you, the hall monitor?
