Your “transparent” IRS in action. Just think! They’ll be making your healthcare decisions for you after they finish pleading the Fifth Amendment. WHAT A COUNTRY!

‘Taylor asked that she be excused from appearing, saying that would “have no purpose other than to embarrass or burden her.”’

Well, golly, we wouldn’t want to embarrass or burden her. Let’s just drop the whole matter since it was just those despicable conservatives who were targeted. It’s not like THEY have any rights.

this is not America and the media are ignoring all of this even when it’s done to their own.

DOJ,
IRS
White house
wiretapping,
guns to Mexico
dead Americans
DOE
cover ups
spying
white house closed why?
donors having parties at our house still

the list goes on and on and not a frigging much of a peep from the stupid cowardly party and most of the media.

Just got back from the store and one guy has not heard anything about any of this I mentioned, it seems the media are doing a fine ob of protecting their messiah and ignoring the law being broken

Actually am I and just a couple of others understanding that this is not America and only happens in fascist and communist countries and happened in NAZI Germany ?

Even some on here seem to not think this is much, though they maybe watch MSNBC with the other cult of obama

Obama used his IRS to rig the election. The IRS prevented many tea party groups from getting started .Obama’s IRS stole the election of 2012. the IRS stole the senate for democrats/socialists and there were many more socialists/democrats that got elected to the House than if the tea party would have been allowed to get out the vote for conservative R’s

As Kirsten Powers asked, “can I plead the 5th when I get audited?”

Issa: “Ms. Lerner were you or are you now a member of a group or organization that wants to overthrow the United States government?”

Lerner: “On the advice of counsel, I refuse to answer on the grounds it may tend to incriminate me.”

Issa: “So you ARE engaged in the overthrow of the government.”

Lerner: “On the advice of counsel, I refuse to answer on the grounds it may tend to incriminate me.”

It can't be said any better than you said it.

Lerner works for the IRS and they put the fear of God into people every day asking them to verify their returns.

Now this public official refuses to answer questions about possible wrong doing on the IRSs part, this is despicable.

I’m a little vague on the 5th.

Is there any verbiage in there that precludes shooting a person named Lois Lerner taking the fifth? Just curious...

Heh heh heh...

Giuliani just made an excellent point. The 5th is invoked to prevent self-incrimination.

This de facto means there was criminal activity, and I smell the stink of corruption coming from the White Hut!
