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 should be fearing for her life. As the rest of the tyrants working for the IRS should.
Good thing rope is reusable. Gonna need a lot of it.

Yeah, let’s hear who’s threatening her and we’ll know why,
and whom to prosecute next.

I think Gowdy, Gohmert have all the evidence they need - Gowdy was *extremely* confident about immunity on FNC today -
so perjury = jail quickly. Her only option is to rat out Jarrett and zero, i.e., tell the truth.

Get that? Not only will Ms. Lerner not testify if called to do so without immunity from prosecution, but the very act of calling her to testify endangers not only her life, but those of her family as well. Just calling her to testify could result in her death or dismemberment, you understand.
I swear...this pinch-faced broad must be the most important bureaucrat to ever walk the earth.

Her boss noted not “a smidgen of evidence” of anyone doing anything wrong - what is the problem?

Hmmm, well, if you are going to tell a lie (one suspects), better super-size it, eh?
