WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups.
Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd.
Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.
DOCUMENT: The Inspector General’s report on the IRS
“She has not committed any crime or made any misrepresentation but under the circumstances she has no choice but to take this course,” said a letter by Taylor to committee Chairman Darrell E. Issa, R-Calif. The letter, sent Monday, was obtained Tuesday by the Los Angeles Times.
I don’t think a lawyer would advise a partial 5th. The reason for the 5th in this case is likely to obtain immunity.
I believe that the official advisement that the 5th is going to be claimed is the expectation that those seeking her testimony will agree to immunity in advance. My guess is she has something of value that her attorney believes will result in an immunity deal.
However this plays out, this is not a good development for Obama.
It was raining and approaching dark and a dilapidated house trailer had broken down on a county road just around a corner. The trailer mover truck driver had driven off and left it. Our constable, a Republican, had to do something to get that off the road. He called the county commissioner, a Republican, and the commissioner himself drove a front end loader to push it off the road before someone crashed into it coming around the corner. Naturally, the pushing off the road did some damage to the old trailer.
The brought in lawyer got the grand jury made up of the District Judge's relations and friends, to indict them on a charge of intentionally committing a HATE CRIME by damaging the trailer. The owner of the trailer was black. The lawyer contacted the press from Houston and there was the press at the jail to see the two “criminals” taken to jail to make bail. They actually had to go to trial and were found not guilty. This story is as ridiculous as it sounds. The other cases were just as ridiculous.

Now, now, US Navy Vet. A dunking tub and sitting her in the witch’s chair will achieve the same result without bruising your knuckles.
If you can’t answer questions about your job performance without invoking the 5th amendment, you should be fired immediately. IMMEDIATELY!
Shulman made a contribution to the DNC in2004 of $500. He is probably a Democrat.
When I was dealing with those court cases in our county with the Democrat District Judge, I conferred with one of our lawyers about taking the 5th in that grand jury. I was told if you take the 5th, it must be total. You can't pick and choose questions. You must take it for every question.
The Heat Is On- Glenn Frey
The heat is on, on the street
Inside your head, on every beat
And the beat’s so loud, deep inside
The pressure’s high, just to stay alive
‘Cause the heat is on
Oh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho
Caught up in the action I’ve been looking out for you
Oh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho
(Tell me can you feel it)
(Tell me can you feel it)
(Tell me can you feel it)
The heat is on, the heat is on, the heat is on
Oh it’s on the street, the heat is on
Oh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho
Caught up in the action I’ve been looking out for you
Oh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho
(Tell me can you feel it)
(Tell me can you feel it)
(Tell me can you feel it)
The heat is on, the heat is on, the heat is on
Oh it’s on the street, the heat is on
The shadows high on the darker side
Behind those doors, it’s a wilder ride
You can make a break, you can win or lose
That’s a chance you take, when the heat’s on you
When the heat is on
Oh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho
Caught up in the action I’ve been looking out for you
Oh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho
(Tell me can you feel it)
(Tell me can you feel it)
(Tell me can you feel it)
The heat is on, the heat is on, the heat is on
Oh it’s on the street, the heat is on
It’s on the street
The heat is on, the heat is on, the heat is on
Yeah it’s on the street
The heat is on

What a charmer you are. How long have you been a gorilla?
Since conception.
I just heard about the rallies a few days ago and walked to the local IRS several blocks from my office arriving at about 10 of 12.
There were 8 people there. No organizers or anything like that. Just some of us that heard about the plans. Within a few minutes there were at least a dozen. Mostly we were all strangers to each other. By the time I had to go back to work the number had doubled and was growing. People came and joined. Just like that.
We chanted a few chants that we made up.
There was a couple of DHS uniformed cops taking notes. I held up my sign to them a little closer to make sure that they could read it.
INTIMIDATE
RIVAL
SQUAD
While we chanted “intimidation through taxation”.
Lol!
To your point:

Of course, as I recall, The Duchy of Grand Fenwick actually declared war in the US, attacked the US and won...
Food for thought!
ping for later.
Republicans can use this if they're sharp.
Ask her who above her knew of her actions.
5th amendment of course.
Then ask her if the White Hut or OBozo ordered her actions.
Let her take the 5th on that.
Stir up a hornets nest.
Let the innuendos fly for questions she won't answer.
Play the game ruthlessly on the bastards, play to win.

The Obama Justice Department has seized the phone records of numbers that are associated with White House staffers and, apparently, with Fox News reporters, according to a document filed on October 13, 2011, in the case of Stephen Jin-Woo Kim, a former State Department contractor accused of violating the Espionage Act for allegedly leaking classified information to James Rosen, a Fox News reporter. Ronald C. Machen, Jr., the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, who is prosecuting the case, has seized records associated with two phone numbers at the White House, at least five numbers associated with Fox News,
From the Securities and Exchange Commission to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the Central Intelligence Agency to the Federal Communications Commission, many lawyers in top positions in the federal government have something in common—they’re from Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr.
More than any other law firm, Wilmer has populated the Obama administration with high-profile alums. At least 20 partners have left since 2009 for senior government posts. A handful have come back, but 17 others, including U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ronald Machen Jr., Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin, Internal Revenue Service chief counsel William Wilkins, and SEC division of corporation finance head Meredith Cross, are still on the job.
Maybe, but she may be taking the fifth to cover for Obama. Whatever she's convicted of, she knows Obama will pardon her and then his lib friends will get her some high paying cushy job at a university or a think tank or in the media.
