She read a statement and then said she wouldn’t answer any questions. She was about to be dismissed then Trey Gowdy called a point of order and said she waived her 5th amendment rights by telling her side. She was dismissed subject to recall while the committed looks into whether she can do that legally.

Fascinating.

She either has a really stupid lawyer or a smart one.

Seems like you could be right in the middle of testifying and then you could plead the 5th, doesn’t it?

[Mr. K]

OK now THAT makes sense now...

You cannot tell your side of the story and then be allowed to clam up when the other side is told, although I a wary of this point.

If you lie and then are caught in it, you still should have the right not to be forced to testify against yourself. The proof that you lied is testimony enough against you.

Gowdy’s definitely one of the good guys.

[Sacajaweau]

She wants immunity...She knows that she will wind up in jail without immunity.

Missy...stay away from Marcy Park.

I heard an old speech...She does exactly as she's told....no questions asked...is what I got out of it.

[Nervous Tick]

Good. Trey Gowdy gets it!

I like Issa’s willlingness to rumble, but I’ve never been all that impressed with his skills. He’s ineffectual. A lot of going through the motions but precious little in the way of results.

[BenLurkin]

Good for him.

That idiot Judge — Lance Ito — let O.J. Simpson tell the jury from counsel table “I am one hundred percent not guilty”, without O.J. being obliged to take the stand, swear in or be cross-examined.

Read somewhere else.
Issa asked her to read a transcript, purported to be her interview with Trasury IG.
Issa asked if that was her testimony.

She REPLIED yes, that was her testimony.

She cannot pick and choose which questions to answer

[mware]

That is my understanding of the law too.

Once you open your mouth, and it isn't to plea the 5th,you have to answer all questions put to you.
