Gowdy splained it to him.
According to the live tread she was handed a copy and signed off on it.
On Drudge right now, just a topic, no link...
“FLASH: ISSA TO SUBPOENA LOIS LERNER BACK...”
Issa handled it perfectly. He will be caling her back. Rush needs to put a sock in it for now..
Issa’s a former businessman, not a lawyer. Gowdy wasn’t just a lawyer, he was federal prosecutor. Issa should have war gamed this with his aides, of whom I’m sure there’s more than one legal eagle. He was obviously caught off-guard.
GO GOWDY!!!!!!!!
She blames it all on her flunkies.
“I guess he consulted with someone about Congressional rules.”
It’s a good time for these guys to start figuring those out.
Rush is such a downer. He’s always ready to throw his hands up and announce that our side has lost.
Issa knew perfectly well what he was doing, wanted to get other testimony and probably has built a lovely trap for her. I sense a deal coming, because there’s obviously something really incriminating in her story and I’m not sure she wants to go to jail for Obama. Better act soon, though, because enemies of Obama have a habit of turning up dead in unaccountable ways.
Doubt it.
My best bet is “They set the bitch up”. She waived her 5th by reading a statement into the record and answered The Chair’s question regarding her previous statement under oath.
She’s screwed. So now the only thing she can do is negotiate for a get out of jail free card. Issa aint gonna cave for anything short of documentation that the Administration was in the loop.
And for those that keep jumping on Issa remember this, if the court rules in his favor the US Injustice Department will have to turn over documentation that the White Hut knew about Fast and Furious when it was happening.
If they decide to destroy documents, ISSA already has some of the copies in his possession, so they go down for evidence tampering, hindering an investigation, etc.
The thing with Gowdy today was a brillant plan that came together because they were on the same Page BEFORE hand.
She testified, so her waiver is inoperable. Simple as that.
Bring her back and grill her, or offer immunity to get her to turn over the rock with the bad stuff underneath.
I posted some YT vids of it on this thread, they give a good context of what happened vs written accounts:

She's done.
Rush wasn’t certain of what the law was on this, when he found out he self corrected.
Issa was tactically brilliant. She is locked in. She has obstructed Congress (a crime) without privilege to do so. Yes, she lost her 5th Amendment privilege when she initially testified.
Secondly, harken back to Col. Oliver North and Adm Dexter Poindexter, the then National Security Advisor, being forced to testify before Congress. They were both later prosecuted successfully for perjury etc but the convictions were overturned due to Congressional heavy-handedness.
Issa not being overbearing and forcing the issue, preserves the criminal prosecution opportunity if we ever get an AG who will do it (or a special counsel).
Poor Lois Lerner, why are the Republicans being so mean to her? She said very plainly she was innocent yet they still hound her! They must HATE women! LEAVE LOIS ALONE! She already pleaded the 5th which is intended to protect innocent women like her from cruel harassment...
Just providing a preview of what you would see if you were stupid enough to watch MSNBC or CNN.
Issa is asking her back because he knows Lerner rolled him, which is basically
what Rush is saying.
