When a public servant refuses to answer Congress, under oath, it should be grounds for immediate removal from office.

These slimeballs in government should be denied that right, as they are accountable to the whole country. If you’re a “civil servant,” you ought to be held under a microscope for the entire time you’re there. She should be forced to answer questions.

Anytime Congress is involved you can count on nothing being done...aside from their usual blather that is.

the only way a public official should be allowed to take the fifth the is if they resign and then they should not be allowed to hold public office for X amount of years if ever.

I know FReepers are famous for commenting on articles we haven’t actually read, but a lot of the people here didn’t even read the post.

Lynch didn’t “plead the Fifth”. She merely declined to answer questions posed by some Congressmen. Executive privilege, and all that.

Attorney General Lynch 'Pleads Fifth'

The text didn't say that. It said, "...prompting accusations that Lynch has "pleaded the Fifth" Amendment..."

I'm not sure what these weasel words mean. I don't think I'd bet the bank on this just yet.

It’s illegal for the government to pay ransom so this is a legitimate target for big time congressional oversight. At least before the era of Obama.

How can the chief law enforcement officer of the United States take the 5th amendment and remain in office. This is a disgrace.

She should be impeached immediately!!

So eventually some of this stuff is gonna lead back to Zero. If he pardons a bunch of these scumbags and later is found guilty himself, do his pardons stick or are they nullified?

This is bullcrap she hasn’t done anything of the sort and Congress is not in session so she has not been asked to testify, yet. Totally false articles don’t help us.
