[Jane Long]

He is unsure whether her rights are waived in a Congressional setting. He is not a lawyer.
In a court of law it would be deemed waived which was brought up by the lawyers Trey Gowdy and Jim Jordan.

Not encouraging. They both spoke up about this and both were shot down by Issa. Yikes. Lerner got the kid glove treatment, and these guys got the smackdown. Hope there's a good reason.

That’s the wrong way to look at it.

Waiving the 5th in a Court MAY be different that in a Congressional Hearing. Lerner has a high powered lawyer.

Since Issa isn’t a lawyer..he has to defer for the moment. Gowdy and Jordan probably don’t know the answer to this either.

But even if she waived her rights....they still can’t make her answer questions. They can hold her in contempt.

So basically George is saying the law is ‘impractical’
We have a new catch phrase....

‘That is impractical’
