Guardian: Reports the following on the IRS Tax Scandal, " Lois Lerner says she has 'done nothing wrong' before leaving hearing into targeting of conservative groups over tax status ".
Lets Get Real:
It was reported last night that Lois Lerner would plead the 5th before the hearing, but what was shocking was the fact that she made the above statement then then invoked her 5th, the Chairman of the Committee had her dead to rights, by making that statement the witness had waved her rights to plead the 5th, this blog is no lawyer, but knows enough law that once a witness makes a statement she or he loses the right to use the 5th and must answer questions. If the witness does not the Committee can site the witness for Contempt of Congress and throw them in jail. The House Committee should ask her back, and since she made a statement force to answer ALL questions, even if she lands herself in trouble. One can see that the 5th plea will or should lead the Evening News tonight in the US, this blog will be watching, lets see what, NBC and CBS do with the story, CNN is in the tank for the Obama Oval. Shows how a great network once a rebel can become part of the establishment. These networks should be asking why the Obama DofJ is going after Fox and the AP and not them, are they seen as part of the fold and not a threat, your either a rebel news operation or your nothing folks.
