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.

“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.
Can I plead the fifth on my tax return?
Found guilty by their taking the 5th. Context.
“You must be pretty damn smart to be able to tell me what I do or don’t understand.”
I just go by what you post, sweetheart.
She's guilty.
No, it is Sarah Hall Ingram that was moved to the Obamacare job.
That is Sarah Ingram, not Lois Lerner.
