Some thoughts:
Coincidence ???
Lois just happened to give her opening remarks eliminating her fifth rights.
Issa just happened to not have a copy of her written remarks and needed her to affirm they were in fact from her
WH just happens to meet with journa-list who are now targeting her WH suspects what was coming down
D party was supportive of cleaning up IRS
Folks I think we were watching kaboki theater today in an attempt to get her testimony on record without exposing her testimony. Miss Lois may have indeed pulled the trigger before she was in their cross pins
Pray for her safety
Occam's razor. The simplest and direct answer.. She is on the dole for the Obama mob and wanted to have an 'in your face moment'.
And Issa? He has little power to do much here. The best he can do is try to get them to embarass themselves for the public. Hope it works.
Information you just pinged me to would fit under coincidence
Also add
Her high price lawyer allowed her to read her statement
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.
(snip)
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
