From the article:

"Republicans on the committee thought they had been defeated, but Gowdy knew better. Once a person issues a statement, Fifth Amendment privilege is waived on the substance of the statement. By issuing an opening statement, Ms. Lerner was testifying. Her right to stay silent on that testimony was gone forever.

A panicked liberal Elijah Cummings of Maryland pointed out that while congressional hearings are “like” a court of law, they are not in actuality a court of law. Even Congressman Issa, normally a very sharp and prepared operator, had to check on whether Gowdy’s interpretation applied.

It absolutely does."

Got her!! Nail her lying hide to the wall!!

Very, very good news. The Teflon’s cracked, now break it open the rest of the way.

Tomorrow should be an interesting day of ‘testimony’ from Ms. Lerner. She might get a better lawyer who won't stab her in the back from the git go. I wonder if Ms. Lerner thinks she has been set up to take the big fall for the Obama Scandals fiasco?
Ms. Lerner had the opportunity to testify or not testify, but she does not have the right to kinda sorta testify on what she chooses and then dummy up on other subjects.

And Issa did not adjourn but only went into recess. Those witnesses are coming back including Lerner, I bet.

Let Dowdy loose on ‘em. :)

Unless she’s suddenly the victim of an unfortunate workplace accident...

Thanks for posting the real guts of the article.

It is the unbridled arrogance of these people that will ultimately bring Lois Lerner and all of them down, including Obama, I hope and pray. That, and Patriots like Trey Gowdy.

Kicked her butt! Woohoo!

[Darksheare]

Now we get to see if she’ll take the sword for Zero.

[Sequoyah101]

She took an awfully deep breath when Gowdy made his point. If she does not know she has been had she thinks it.

We shall see, shall we not?

Meanwhile, what else is going on that we are not supposed to be watching?

[dandiegirl]

Gowdy needs to run the hearings-not Issa.

[SueRae]

Trey nailed it..and a special prosecutor is a must..not if.

Ever see “Law-abiding Citizen”? I want a prosecutor that can state it as well as Clyde in this scene.
