In his Super Bowl interview, President Obama stated there wasn't a "smidgen of corruption" in the IRS. If so, why did Lois Lerner just plead the Fifth in front of Congress?
If you say so. She isn't going to testify against herself. If they have a crime to charge her with, bring it on.
Yep, I think it is time to do just that. Appoint a special prosecutor and rack her arse up first, then proceed to next. I don't think she is the top dog in this bullshit scheme.
But if it's just a fishing expedition, what would she have to say that would incriminate herself? She's pure as the driven snow, right?
Today Issa made a 15-minute speech, then cutoff power to the Ranking Democrat's microphone, accusing him of wanting to make a speech. Watch this video. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/issa-shuts-down-his-own-irs-hearing
Ranking Democrat Cummings (#2 on the committee) kept talking without his mike and no one could hear him. He tried to note facts that Issa had deliberately excluded from his investigation, such as the IRS Inspector General’s report that found not a conspiracy directed by the White House, but an ad hoc decision by a local IRS manager who was himself a Republican. Here's a list of Issa's many failed anti-Obama investigations. http://www.salon.com/2014/03/05/dar...arrell_issa_is_bad_at_investigating_scandals/
There is corruption in all levels of government. To think that there isn't corruption in the IRS is both naive and foolish.
If there's a crime, convene a grand jury. I don't see one. Nor do I see a special prosecutor. If she says anything at all that she's mistaken about or some other witness doesn't verify, she would be up for perjury. She'd be going under oath against hostile examination. It is a circus atmosphere where they are looking to beat their chests over this perceived slight. She wants no part of it, which is understandable. Pleasing the 5th simply is not an admission of guilt. If they are interested in finding the truth, they'll grant her immunity. Then she can't plead the 5th because she can't incriminate herself.
My guess is that Obama didn't think when asked that there was corruption in the IRS. Today he knows differently. So the questions is.... what's he gonna do about it?
This is the way to go. I dont think it will ever happen though. I would have to believe that back room deals have already been made to avoid tarnishing obama in any way.
please let me make sure that I am not misunderstanding you. By posturing, are you implying that nothing happened? That this bitch was called in for questioning only for show? would you please enlighten me?
I would happy to expound upon my opinion. I think there was something inappropriate that occurred, but I don't think it was as bad as the situation the Republicans are trying to frame. I don't think it's fair to call her a bitch. I do think she was called in just for show.
wow..so all of the numbers that show an overwhelming amount of biased actions in several offices, that was ordered to be preformed by upper management who in turn were instructed by their bosses..all of this already on record, is "republicans trying to frame her" I will disagree with you,I believe her actions to date do indeed earn her the title of bitch. I also believe that she was called in to try to get her to say who instructed her to do what she did..many believe that it leads to the oval office..truth be told, I doubt anything comes of it.
