Give her immunity, prosecute her if she lies. I’m interested in what she has to say.

That says a lot, doesn’t it?

Of course, we do know that Lois is an Obamadork selectee, and -

If: Obamadork selectee

Then: Sleazy, untalented, couldn’t hold a real job, and of course, liberal.

Only if it is tied to her linking it to Obama and Dem leadership and you know in advance what she will give up. Otherwise NO!

She wants full immunity because she knows she’s GOT to testify, and she has nothing to cover her donkey!!!!

She is asking for what is called “transactional immunity,” meaning the government is barred from prosecuting her at all. Transactional immunity is not recognized by the Feds and is never offered. Various Supreme Court decisions state that an offer of transactional immunity is not legally binding anyway. So unless she’s changed attorneys, which would have been a good idea, she is probably getting more bad advice to go for transactional immunity.

She can seek “use immunity,” which means that the statements she provides cannot be used against her in a prosecution. She can still be prosecuted, the government just cannot use what she says against her. There are two significant exceptions to the grant of use immunity. One is that use immunity does not apply in prosecutions for Perjury. Second, the use immunity goes away if she takes the stand in her criminal trial and testifies differently than what she said while under the grant of immunity. The contradictory statements are admissible for impeachment of credibility, and not substantively as evidence of guilt (but juries use it for that purpose anyway).

Cut off this bitch’s salary and any future benefits and toss her can in the can.

Jail her for contempt. She ALREADY waived her rights, so calling for immunity now is just a bit too late. . .

Grant her immunity and hook her up to a polygraph. No polygraph; no immunity.

Give it too her. Once she goes against Chicago she’ll be looking over her shoulder for the rest of her life.

The American people have watched Egypt rebel
against the American pRes_ _ent-by-fraud.

If the US Congress does not jail Ms. Lerner
for perjury and/or contempt of Congress,
they may just find that the public’s hate for THEM
and THEIR evil Betrayal of the Constitution,
is already beyond their wildest dreams.

as long as she gets full immunity from prosecution
**********
She declared she was innocent, but wants immunity. She must have realized that underlings have turned on her to save their own arses.

Absolutely! As long as she agrees to incriminate Ovomit and Holder.

She can only get immunity if she details what she will testify to.

Then it might be feasible to just let the cards fall where they may.

I understand the thinking, but would suspect with immunity, she admits it was all her fault, all her idea, taking the fall for the entire Obama Administration, and gets free retirement.
