Would have to be limited/conditional immunity. You give her blanket immunity and she takes the fall for everything, insulating the Administration.

Asked about the IRS scandal recently, Speaker Boehner declared, “I don’t care who is going to be fired. I want to know who is going to jail!” That’s a good, fiery sound bite for the campaign season, but it’s exactly wrong.

When officials prove unfit for government power, taking that power away is the highest public interest. Even if you’ve deluded yourself into thinking the Obama Justice Department would lift a finger to prosecute Lois Lerner, who cares if she ever sees the inside of a jail cell? What matters is laying bare the entirety of the scheme and finding out how high it goes: Who and what induced her to orchestrate the harassment of conservative groups? Why was the government’s fearsome tax agency placed in the service of the Democratic party’s political needs?

Taking a politicians power away stops them from doing more harm but it doesn't punish them. Punishment serves two purposes. It is justice for the victims and it warns others with the same intent. In this case there are a lot of politicians that need to learn that their power isn't unlimited and there are consequences to their usurpations.

Immunity deals for little fish get cut when they are able AND willing to help take down big fish. There is no evidence the Lerner is either able OR willing.

No, I don't agree that she should be offered immunity from legal prosecution for her actions.

I am not a fan of last minute plea bargains.

She knew exactly what she was involved in by helping orchestrate the illegal abuse of government IRS powers on USA citizens, she was very aware it was unconstitutional and illegal, and she has zero remorse for her actions.

Immunity?
Oh hell no!

Why does she need immunity?

According to her, she’s done nothing wrong.

Red is positive, black is negative. Hook her up and start asking questions.

Lerner and her attorneys have not offered up a proffer. You can’t give somebody immunity without a proffer. I mean you can, but it’s stupid to grant immunity before you know what you’re getting. The proverbial pig in a poke.

What they should do is strip away her limited IRS immunity and allow her to be subject to Civil Suits from the organizations she stomped on.

The House should start offering up bills that address the IRS immunity and the intrinsic gag order that supposedly keeps them protected from divulging their sources. They should have one every Tuesday morning for Reid to kill then keep pointing at the Liberal Conspiracy to suppress evidence and impede investigations.

No immunity.
How about this deal: 100 years in jail minus one year for each name she gives that leads to another conviction.

As things stand right now, the congressional investigation is going nowhere.

Apparently this article was written prior to the IRS stating it would finally release all the requested emails.

I have been thinking this myself for a while.

It would have been fantastic to have been able to answer her initial taking of the 5th by saying...

“OK, we thought you might say that so we are giving you immunity. Now you are going to answer our questions...”

Or maybe taking a vote of the committee on it right then. Interesting to think of how Mr. Cummings would have voted on that.

Her jaw would have dropped right then as she could not possibly have anticipated actually having to testify. Facing reality is not something liberals take well.

Instead of Immunity, I would be in favor of anything that will unhinge the Obama Regime. It is a ticking bomb scenario where each second that goes by is a second closer to the destruction of America’s Constitution and America. I think this justifies that Lois Lerner should be Waterboarded for the all information she has.

These DC hacks, just like the writer of this article doesn’t want to
hold anyone accountable for their criminal actions, they just want to
use this as a campaign tool. Same old same old from these hacks.

Only jail time will send the right message to IRS employees who break
the law. Sending more GOP hacks to congress won’t stop this. Only jail time for
IRS employees will.

Grant her immunity so that she can lie with impunity? No thanks.
