Like that is new? We both know they ignore us. We vote for their lesser evils no matter what they do. We proved that a few months back.
Look at the screaming fits when Newt discussed defunding depts in the primaries. They should. But they wont...for a reason. They want them.
Yup. Pretty much that exactly. Because the bowel movement is a lot worse!
I meant to type Gowdy. I wuz on a friend’s smart phone and have really fat thumbs and am too dumb to know how to easily go back and change one letter.
I've certainly noticed, esp. Miller and this Lerner bitch. Walking advertisements for abolishing the IRS.
After they are arrested, perps don't waive their fifth amendment rights by speaking except to the extent they speak. Answering one question does not cause a perp to waive their right to refuse subsequent questions.
That's the definition of getting rolled. Nothing that the lawyer said in private is actionable, but it set in motion a thought process in Issa that caused him to be caught off guard during the hearing. He fell for the misdirection. He was distracted by the left hand and didn't see what the right hand was doing.
Remember how Pelosi bragged about rolling Boehner over tax increases? Those optics are what the Democrats live for, and Issa gave them another theater today.
Republicans will always give the extra benefit of doubt, and Democrats will always know it and count on it, and then play it to their advantage.

She’s in need of a new pair of Depends ? or Fruit of the Loom ?
Not only did she testify about how innocent she is, she also took a shot at the committee and then tried to go Fifth Amendment. She was coached to do that.

Finally a Repub with some balls!!!!
Ha! Ha! Obama!...
I did not talk to cops.
A prosecutor in a courtroom asked questions to me that I refused to answer.
The case was dismissed.
Good for you. Prosecutors are no better than cops when it comes to convicting the innocent (see Nifong and that witch Corey).
That’s a fact. If you want to invoke, remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you, like saying you didn’t do anything illegal.
That’s testimony, and you can’t have it both ways.
I’m sort of amazed Issa had this planned, or was savvy enough to get this done.
Now, from here, she will have to listen to questions, and she can waive each time she wants to invoke.
If the questions are reasonable, it’s not going to play well on national TV for her to invoke before Congress. She hasn’t even been charged with anything yet, and she’s invoking.
Not good, since there’s no jury but the one of public opinion involved here.
The instant she said ,”I haven’t done anything wrong,” she opened the door to cross examination on that very point. That means she waived the privilege.
That's what I think. I'm pretty sure I remember Watergate hearings when they would be answering a string of questions and get to a subject matter where they would start taking the 5th. and then they'd answer other questions, and then take the 5th.
Besides our rights are not something we should be able to unintentionally waive. If all or nothing is current procedure in any court, then it should be incumbent on the court to explain the implications before someone testifies. We shouldn't have to be lawyers to retain our rights.
