It is my understanding that each invocation of The Fifth is independent of every other. Which is not to say that Lerner isn’t a criminal and shouldn’t be prosecuted.

Each waiver is independent of another. Bit of a tricky rule in practice. General contentions, like “I didn’t do it,” don’t amount to a waiver.

I asked this question on another thread, but adding it to this one:

Question for FReeper Legal Eagles:

Given she testified before the DOJ, can the House Judiciary Committee suponea that testimony; or, is there a division between the House and DOJ (outside of Legislative/Executive) and the House doesn’t have rights obtain such documentation (IIRC she wasn’t under oath in the DOJ testimony)?

Thanks in advance!
