I do not understand why she was not made to answer every question. And why has Congress not subpoenaed her computer (home and office)?
She’s allowed to plead the 5th. Nothing Issa can do about it. What did you think he would do, go down and punch her in the face?
**********************************************************************
Just repeatedly ask her “embarassing” questions such as “Has anyone from the Obama administration coordinated with you for the targeting of Tea Party organizations”.
Let her assert her right against self-incrimination over and over and over again. The Democrats certainly would have done that had the shoe been on the other foot.
But the Republican? Nah, the Republicans want to be “nice”.
I'm no lawyer, but I believe that if a witness is given immunity from prosecution, then she can be forced to answer.
Of course I agree with the fifth amendment, just not Ms Lerner abusing it.
She could say ‘five’ to each question. Also, she could be asked about her abuses as a FEC official asking about the content of Oliver North’s prayers as reported by the weekly standard.
Bravo Gowdy!
Boehner, as usual, is back on his heels & not leading. Rest assured that he is working some back room deal to help himself and sell US out.
A man of principle, a leader of action, he is neither.
I think they will try to turn her. It’s obvious these people were acting on orders from the top, and now they are being hung out to dry, just like Maxwell from the State Dept. Sooner or later some of these folks will turn against the administration, like Maxwell, God Bless him, already has. Now if only the Generals had the balls to do the same thing I might even have faith in the military again.
Thank you. Exactly.

Correct—and we don’t want to have this DIRTY, CORRUPT woman be given immunity.
I think they will indict her soon
Thanks for the education. Where are the demands for firing?
Where is the outrage?
Gowdy’s definitely one of the good guys.
I wonder whom Issa will consult with about Gowdy’s point of order?
DITTO!
If you are not going to get answers, at least get some campaign uses out
of it. The GOP did neither.
The republicants are in on the fix.
Nothing will come of this. Nothing.
She might have that right...but think about how terrible this is.
The IRS is supposed to be subject to congressional oversight...yet she refuses to answer questions. She obviously doesn’t believe she works ‘for’ the people.
Boehner should say that’s it, if the IRS won’t answer questions of congress, their funding is cut off.
She cannot plead the 5th on testimony already given.......
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.
If she invokes the 5th just WHAT would you have Issa do, beat the crap/truth outta her(that’s MY job)?
