I agree but I think she will make Issa get a judge to force her testimony . That takes time and effort. The judge may or may not agree. Her answers will be just as evasive if not more so than what we heard yesterday. And there is a difference of opinion on the waiver issue.
In any case, I bet Issa turns it down.
Very astute observation. Maybe I am guilty of giving to much credit when no credit is due, but the Obama administration is the ultimate political animal. Nothing said or written by this administration does not serve a tactical purpose in promoting or protecting the ideology and existence of the regime. Issa and Gowdy will have their courage tested.
IMHO, this should not matter...She also stated previously that the reason she was taking the fifth was to not incriminate others. She is innocent, remember...as a new born babe.
However, the the fifth amendment protects one against "SELF" incrimination, right? So...
1. You cannot take the fifth for someone else and,
2. She knows incriminating information on someone else.
The fifth amendment does not apply here and she admitted she has knowledge of criminal activity. She needs to be compelled and held in contempt if she tries to plead again.
You need to do a post on The Magistrate always tries to bring order to chaos.

He wasn’t referring to you, he was referring to Lois’ lawyer, who apparently didn’t read the entire law
textbook, only the Cliff notes.
Time to restock the popcorn bin.
And I wasn’t referring to you. So what’s your point?
My point was, just as I stated, that I don’t have time these days to delve deeply into the news of the day, so I cherry pick threads, hoping to get the important parts in condensed form. I was searching for the Cliff’s Notes version of today’s news, and this thread wasn’t it. This thread is obviously for those FReepers who have more time on their hands. That is neither a compliment, nor an insult. Just an observation.
When I came across Smarty’s post, referring to the lawyer relying on Cliff’s Notes, when I was already conscious of the fact that I have been doing just that recently, and I already had the term “Cliff’s Notes” in my head before I read that comment, it just seemed natural to respond accordingly. Sorry if I offended anyone.
Sorry. I’ll stay out of your business. Thought I was doing you a favor.
No problem. I was just returning the favor. Have a nice day.
You didn’t get what I said but that’s OK
I have a suspicion that that would get the poster an instant granite cookie. Oceania is at war with Eastasia. Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.
IANAL, but I believe that this would mean that Lerner and anyone else involved in the scandal could then be compelled to testify, since they could no longer incriminate themselves. IMO, they're going under the bus.
I did get what you said. I said something else. I explained it to you twice. (Once in reply to your freepmail, and once in a courtesy ping here.) I didn’t think it was complicated or disruptive. I don’t see why anybody would be upset about it.
It sounds like you are upset... I sure am not. Mostly because I don’t know what you are talking about. OK?
LOL. I’m not upset. I was just wondering why you were.
She was fatigued and actually tried to invoke the 5th Dimension:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Issa …. Last night, I didn't get to sleep at all (No, No)."
Oops. Forgot the courtesy ping. And when I said “you” I meant chaguito.
LOL, seems there are more posts on this thread because of my bad judgment in posting to BykrBayb than on the topic at hand. Normally I’m not the author of such confusion. I’ll try not to do that again.
You mean you’re not upset either?! Then who was upset? Okay, let’s start over. I don’t have time to read the whole thread. Can I borrow the Cliff’s Notes?
