FULL TITLE
IRS villain Lois Lerner risks ARREST after pleading Fifth for a second time at IRS tea-party targeting hearing
The one-time head of the U.S. tax authority's branch overseeing nonprofits won't testify about a years-long scheme to target conservative groups
Congress has the power to hold her in contempt, try her and imprison her in the Capitol jail
That power hasn't been used in more than 75 years but used to be common in bribery and other cases
After the Republican chair of the House Oversight Committee quickly adjourned Wednesday's hearing, his Democratic counterpart went 'ballistic'
Former IRS official Lois Lerner refused for a second time on Wednesday to testify about her role in a scheme to target conservative organizations that applied for tax-exempt status during President Barack Obama's first term in office.
Lerner risks arrest if she is found in contempt of Congress.

That is a statement of confidence nothing will happen if I’ve ever read one.. LOL
Well is she under arrest?
Was she arrested at the hearing as she should have been?
No and no?
K.
“Free Silly!”
They are the "Washington Generals" of politics.
Love it!!
This woman needs a few minutes in a burlap sack in a swimming pool before being questioned again.
She’s given up her 5th amendment rights by talking. It’s all or nothing and she screwed up.
Contempt charges and a few months of incarceration are called for.
Yes, that much is clear, isn’t it. Issa made that his last point in his after-hearing remarks. She is withholding information from the American people. He pretty much was saying, “Let’s stick to the point here. She’s guilty of withholding information, if nothing else.”
Yes, this is true. I mean they found Eric "Malik Zulu Shabazz" Holder in contempt of Congress and he .......
Oh, wait ................
You (and every other American tax payer) give up your 5th amendment right every time you submit a U.S. tax return signed under penalty of perjury.
She has to weight that hollow threat against the certainty of meeting a Hastings end should she cross The One or VayJay.
Throw her @$$ in jail and flush the key.
“Hi mom, we’re number..uuhhhhhh.”
WATER BOARD HER
Yeah, she’ll probably wish she had talked when she gets Lorettafuddiedup.
SO angry, he'll be on Hannity's show tonight to tell us how really, really, really angry he is. Hannity will then ask, "So what now," to which Issa will ramble something about the "process taking time to pass through all the wickets."
Jim Traficant?
You are wrong. Palin has a set, and Cruz, Lee, Gohmert, Trey, and sometimes Mario. That is all.
Her choice was whom to fear more: A self-gelded GOP, or the obama kneecappers. No brainer.
