It better be solid testimony.

Indeed.

There are two ways to approach this. One is to grant immunity AFTER finding out what she will testify to. The other is to offer immunity first and let her crap on the committee.

I wonder which approach the Republicans will take?

Trey Gowdy has warned him never to grant immunity without a proffer of what the witness will say.
++++++++
He’s absolutley right. Do you remember what happened when the dim prosecutors gave immunity to Oliver North?

They went absolutley ballistic when he gave them nothing and there was nothing they could do about it.

Unlike an oral agreement, a proffer agreement is put in the written form.

If Lerner implicates Obama directly, I could see it. Otherwise, no deal.

Agreed, if she implicates the WH and has evidence then fine.

“How does the public benefit from this woman’s being granted immunity? She is (by every reasonable expectation) guilty. If she goes to jail, even for contempt, that might deter the next sycophantic minion at her level. If she walks, it’s one more piece of evidence that they’re all untouchable.”

Exactly! She’s a committed Marxist! All you have to do is read what we know she’s done in the past to know that she’s simply going to give Issa & Co. the middle finger. She’s not going to give up anyone because she’s a true believer. She would probably go to jail rather than give any meaningful testimony and she probably thinks there’s no way that Issa can or would jail her because Boner wouldn’t let him.

And she might be correct. I wish Rep. Issa would throw her in the slammer and bring up the nearest available subordinate to see if he wants to go to jail for the Cause, too. And then the next one, and the next one ...

Lerner is a good soldier who will protect the emperor. Just like in Godfather 2:

Mr. PENTANGELI — Mr. PENTANGELI. Were you a member of the Corleone family? Did you serve under Caporegime Peter CLEMENZA — under VITO Corleone — also known as — “The Godfather”?

PENTANGELI

I — I — I never know no Godfather.I got my own family, SENATOR.

QUESTADT

Mr. PENTANGELI you are contradicting a sworn statement that you previously made to me and signed. I ask you again sir — you are now under oath — were you at any time a member of a crime organization — headed by MICHAEL Corleone.

PENTANGELI

I don’t know nothin’ about that.. Oh — I was in the Olive Oil business with his father but that was a long time ago that’s all.

CHAIRMAN

We have a sworn affidavit — we have it — your sworn affidavit that you murdered on the orders of MICHAEL Corleone. Do you deny that confession, and do you realize what will happen as a result of your denial.

PENTANGELI

Look the FBI guys promised me a deal. So I made up a lot of stuff about MICHAEL Corleone ‘cause that’s what they wanted — but it was all lies — uh — everything. And I kept saying — MICHAEL Corleone did this and MICHAEL Corleone did that — .uh — so I said yea sure, why not.

Idiot. That won’t work. She’ll never rat on her boss. When this is all over, the democrat party will give her a nice, high-paying low-work job. All she has to do is lie and protect the boss.
