On Wednesday, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) senior official Lois Lerner, the director of the division that singled out conservative groups for scrutiny, pleaded the 5th Amendment at congressional hearings. The lawyer by her side at the hearings, William Taylor III of Zuckerman Spaeder, comes from a firm with unusually close ties to the Obama White House Counsel’s Office and Department of Justice.

Kathryn Ruemmler, the White House Counsel, is a former associate at the firm. Ruemmler was a White House official who knew in advance that the IRS Inspector General Report would show the targeting of conservative groups before it was released to the general public.

Ruemmler met one-on-one with Treasury lawyer long before April

Good shot of Ezra Clown!
Cruz is already a step ahead of you, and he told it to their faces.
It could still be (50 - 50 chance) Obama&Co inform them more detailed and/or new scandals about to be dropped.
(Oh, how I wish the Hillary practically wrote the ARB report to be true!)
I think she should flip. She needs to ask herself if Hussein is worth spending her retirement years in prison. Stupid evl woman.
Benghazi !
Like someone else made mention about this last night, it will bring you to a political orgasm to play the video of his comments.
To see the arrogance of all the officials, with the exception of Mr. George, it appears they fear nothing and will take their limited time in prison because they appear to have already been told they will be pardoned after this term.
(I suspected this is what you meant, but just want to make sure.)
Something I forgot; they will not spend a day in prison because just getting to a trial will be long enough and, then the appeals process will further delay having to report for an orange jumpsuit.
She probably doesn't trust Republicans to follow through with a strong investigation. Republicans have the reputation of being people who 'give up' when faced with PC and a hostile media. That said, she'd be safer coming clean on this - dems won't protect her...
And Holder controls DoJ, they won't prosecute ‘contempt’, just like his own ‘contempt of congress’ charge.
The only one who might have more of a power is a special prosecutor, but I would be weary of who appoints whom to be the SP.
