Lois Lerner fears for her life if she testifies openly before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Wednesday, according to her attorney.
House oversight committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa announced Sunday that Lerner will testify at Wednesdays hearing, but Lerners attorney Bill Taylor said that Lerner will seek to continue invoking her Fifth Amendment rights and will also seek a one-week delay of her testimony.
Oversight members are reportedly open to granting Lerner a one-week delay if she petitions for one in person at Wednesdays hearing. The delay would allow Lerners lawyers to continue negotiating for immunity, which they have been doing since at least September.
I advised the staff that calling Ms. Lerner knowing that she will assert her rights was not only improper but dangerous. Ms. Lerner has been the subject of numerous threats on her life and safety, and on the life and safety of her family. I left with the staff recent evidence of those threats, said Taylor in a letter to Issa.
But Oversight previously determined that Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights when she made a statement attesting to her innocence at a May 2013 hearing. Republican Reps. Jim Jordan and Jason Chaffetz, both Oversight members, said recently that they were considering holding Lerner in contempt of Congress if she does not testify.
Issa said on the subject, We want her to come back and answer questions. Well see on contempt.

She’s afraid of contracting Breitbart-Fuddy Syndrome.
It would almost be worth it to see how certain individuals explain a ninja assassin frogman sneaking into the Committee room with a yellow scuba tank on to take her out.
I’d come in through a man-sized air duct conveniently running above the hearing room and shoot her with a poison micro dart.
That always works in the movies.
Valarie Jarrett is not pleased.

Are the hearings going to be on C-SPAN tomorrow? I see nothing about them on their website.
Just perhaps when others up the chain realized Gowdy et all meant business they contacted his office wanting to save their own asses. All they need Lerner for is to introduce the evidence or trail right to V.J. or Bambi.
That is my take on it. They have the evidence to hang her and others they just want to show the public she was just following orders from the top.
Much better than my plan which was to abduct Elijah Cummings and pack him full of C4, erase his memory and return him to the Committee.
That would sure be nice. Then again we’d probably all just be more frustrated because nothing will be done.
Gowdy believes she already gave up her 5th amendment rights when she made her statement. That may be why he’s saying there will be no immunity.
GOP/Dems are panicked the public will learn of Lois Lerners role in establishing Malik Obamas terrorist group(s) under 501(c3) status.
DETAILS HERE: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3129556/posts
Malik (Obamas claimed brother) is CFO of global Muslim Brotherhood.
US government will put Lois Lerner on TV, ASAP, for a couple hours so they can Put this behind us and sweep the underlying (domestic/foreign) terror network under the rug.
If they wait for end of March, Arpaio is blowing the lid off Obamas fake ID, thus scrutiny of Ubama crimes/terror sponsorship will skyrocket. Thus, Lerner must be resolved before then.
But perhaps McCain/Issa will get to the bottom of this hahahah hahaha...
Asylum in Russian might be safer.
If Ubama decides to ‘fuddy’ Lois Lerner, I owe everybody a drink.
If he ‘breitbarts’ her, make it 2 drinks.
I think he’ll ‘Hastings’ her on the way to Capitol Hill.
She’s taking the Monica defense, as Linda Tripp demanded to keep Lewinsky alive. There are still millions of Clintonites in the bureaucracy.
F15Eagle -You want a ping? You can’t HANDLE THE PING!
(oh alright, here it is already...)
ping.
Sounds like a good plan. Hope he does it.
She’d better be careful...the longer the delay, the more opportunities for Benghazi Barry Soebarkah et al to have her Breitbarted.
Hurry up and testify, Lois—it might save your life.
Did she visit the White House?
