PING!
I really wonder how the left is looking at this -
on the one hand, they have to be ecstatic that their wet dreams are coming true - the government is being used to oppress their political enemies.
But, on the other hand, they have to be a bit cautious because this exposes their beloved gov’t as the less-than-benevolent entity that we know it is.
Rules don’t apply to liberals.. Only to conservatives. Liberals are allowed to say whatever they want, and then be free of having to defend those statements. A microcosm of the entire liberal philosophy, in full public view at the hearing.
I don’t have time these days for anything more than Cliff’s Notes. I’m lucky if I have time for them. So threads like this just leave me more confused than before I started.
I doubt that even crosses their mind my FRiend
I personally found the Easter egg roll comment to be a high point when Backed up by Trey Gowdy asking Schulman if he knew he was under oath.
Color me skeptical.
Consider what happens if Issa calls her back to the stand and demands that she testify on those items covered by her Opening Statement on Wednesday's session.
She will refuse based on her 5th Amendment rights
Issa will have to go to court to force her to testify
Issa will probably lose that case
Lois the Fifth will gain time
Lois the Fifth will gain sympathy from the MSM and the Dems
Issa will be accused of “overreaching”
Does that sound good?
Is this a trap for Issa?
The Right to remain silent means just that.
Lois Lerner is the slowest learner.
But Lois had to Depend herself.
After she had imbibed a fifth.
Wow...quite a few DUmmies seem to have had Kewpie moments on this one!
Now...if the R’s blow it by not calling her back in and insisting on her answering...and punishing her if she doesn’t...then I totally give up!
Almost have anyway. Except on Ted Cruz and Trey Gowdy. Maybe a handful of others.
You should post on their site (pretending to be a libtard) “Hey guys we should be against obama and the IRS doing this because next time a Republican is in charge they can do the same thing to us”
See if ANY common sense sinks in
Good on Gowdy for showing cods.
Unfortunately, this is an investigation, not a trial. So yes, she can invoke at any time.
Gowdy said what she “ought” to do.
Don’t laugh, but I believe the next development will be a pardon by Obama for Lerner and the rest for any crimes they committed. This will stop the Congressional hearings dead. Obama’s approval among his idiot worshippers will carry him through.
One thing everyone can agree on is to hate the IRS.
Of course, the liberals employ some rather large cognitive dissonance by not associating that their beliefs are what requires the IRS to exist in the first place.
Yeah...and who doesn’t want to “get something back from the government”?
Thing is, most of the money goes to things that have nothing to do with the needs of the people who had to give to the fund in the first place.
IRS...and all other “gimmes”...are nothing but scams. The stupid people don’t get this. THAT’S what the libs count on.
I’m no lawyer...but I believe Lois blew it big time and her lawyer did as well.
When asked to respond...anything other than I plead the fifth.. ( even a friggin Boo ) waives the right to plead the fifth.
