Republicans have resisted public opinion that is in favor of a special prosecutor.
I believe they want personal publicity vs. a procedure that might actually come up with the truth and some action in court.
Even if they turn up something that is illegal, Holder will not prosecute.
Lerner may want to think about hiring armed private security.
BTW, on a tangent, but related to Lerner, I’m all in favor of a limited exception to the 5th Amendment which would exclude the privileges against self-incrimination for government employees, officials, and elected officials with respect to actions made as part of their official duties.
Unless the House Sergeant of Arms arrests this woman these hearings are a complete waste of time.
That should have happened when she made her speech and walked out the first time. As long as Issa and the Establishment Republicans are in charge, don’t expect too much. If , and it is a big if, he recalls her it will just be for show.
Dear Mr. Issa -
Please let Trey Gowdy run this show.
He has significant legal experience. You don’t.
He was the one who spoke up about the 5th Ammendment. You missed it and were about to release Lerner.
He has the motivation to get answers. You are seeking votes.
You will have in front of your committee, Lois Lerner, who was once the head of the agency that clearly abused its powers to silence the opposition. The result should include prison, fines and names - not more hearings.
Let Gowdy take charge.
How many of the GESTAPO SCUMBAGS AND THEIR ENABLERS are in prison?

DISMANTLE $ocialist collectives. HOLD unaccountable bureaucrats (socialists) accountable.
Quite a number of pathological malcontents have shown up on FR to dump on Issa, Gowdy, and Chaifetz, alleging that they are doing nothing in their investigations.
You haven’t been paying attention. The pattern is 1)kenyan has a scandal 2)GOP feigns outrage but then turns down heat 3)no focus from GOP or MSM, scandal goes away.
The Dem narrative is set on the IRS. There is no competing message from a GOP. The kenyan lied his skinny behind off at the Super Bowl interview. There was no engaged response from the GOP. This is what political surrender looks like. Enjoy.
IRS story broke a year ago. What three election cycles are you imagining?
Issa hasn't been a Committee chairman for 3 election cyles.
He's held Holder in contempt over F&F, but without a (R) Senate there's not a lot he can do to move toward impeachment of him if he wanted to do so, is there? Still, he's got him on record and dancing from time to time in his Committee and injecting sand in DOJ's gears as he does.
1974 Watergate investigations were held in advance of a mid-term election. Let's see if the Summer of 2014 hearings distract the Administration enough to draw attention away from mid-term election efforts as it did for (R)'s back then (assuming you remember them).
Just because Lerner retired doesn't mean that it's a "get out of jail free" card for her to play.
FReegards!
So you are suggesting that retirement should make a person immune for having committed crimes in the past?
The criminal bum lerner should have been “retired” to prison. These psychopathic freaks are too much. Pursue them until they die.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
BUMP!
Hello, loser.
Yes, you are one of those malcontents I was talking about.
Got your picture right here.
Just another "know-it-all" Eeyore
Thanks for one more of your routinely uninspiring commentaries on such topics.
FReegards!
“””Issa was going to do this the last three election cycles. Still waiting.........

He has been huffing and puffing for a long time on a number of investigations. They will go nowhere. He just needs to do something once in awhile to fool some people into sending him some campaign donations. Also it keeps the eye off his pal boehner who is busy kissing husseins asssss.
Issa was probably ordered by Boner to look like he’s doing something. We all know this is going to go absolutely nowhere.
GOP = GIVE OBAMA POWER
