Nope!
Lois Lerner waved her 5th Amendment rights. It has been determined that she did so. Yet she still claims it allows her to refuse to answer any questions.
Why hasn’t she been found in contempt? How about a fine? Arrest?
So, let me make certain I understand...
If you, as a former government employee, are ever summoned to appear before Congress during an investigation you can just go in, tell them all to suck it and walk out.
Have all the people who have appeared before Congress in past been aware of this rule? I guess they are now.
Time for what? We already lost and America is in the shi! can. Issa is a pus and Lerner should be in jail. When we no longer have a responsible Government and both Democrats, Republicans, and Independents are in the crap hole we are finished. Forget 2014, America is finished without a civil war and tar and feathers would be to light.
Another show trial. Contempt would have been the move here. Cutting funding to the IRS would have been another move, and one I’d think would be pretty popular with the American people.
The targeting, which on a bipartisan basis, is something nobody wants in general, since one side will use it on the other, and vice versa.
You use this as the wedge for a flat tax of 10 percent, and you move on. Everyone pays it - 10 percent - no deductions.
Game over.

“I plead the fif!”
Can’t wait to hear what Gowdy has to say.
1.) What did the next Speaker of the House, Trey Gowdy, say at the hearing or to reporters?
2.) Why are we surprised that RINO Obamacrat Issa was surprised? DUH!
We need to get the apolitical interested in this. Here’s my Facebook post today:
Facebook is mainly a place to keep up with old friends and family. In that vein, I’ve tried to limit my political posts.
But, today I have to say something to all of my friends, because EVERY US citizen needs to recognize this:
FOR THE BETTER PART OF TWO YEARS (OR MORE), THE IRS WAS TARGETING CONSERVATIVE GROUPS.
Fact.
If you are not aware of this issue, I urge you to research it. Start with the Google searches “Lois Lerner” and “not even a smidgen”.
If you will tolerate this, what other forms of government corruption and suppression will you support?
First they came…
Despicable and predictable.
Q: Why didn’t he remand her to the custody of the Sergeant at arms to be held for contempt of congress?
A: Because he’s a WUSS. Like most Congressional “Republicans”.
Issa didn’t look “angry” at all? Fed up, sure, we all are. But not “angry”.
More like an exasperated Adult trying to deal with a particularly unruly child.
Arrest the wench.
I don’t understand why this “hearing” today even took place. Did Issa have information that led him to believe she’d do anything other than take the fifth? Why did they think today would be any different than the last hearing?
All just a play to try to convince people that there’s a difference between Republicans and Democrats....When the cameras are off, and they go to the backrooms, they’re all buddy-buddy.
Hillary gets a free pass on Benghazi, and now it appears that Lerner will not be held to account for the IRS scandal.
Things are moving along nicely for the Democrats, with the help of the feckless GOP.
Before Adjourning Issa should have darned well asked her if she was threatened by anyone who wants her to remain quiet during this testimony.
Issa should file for contempt or just resign if he’s not going to enforce the rules....like Holder.
"Ms. Lerner is not our primary concern today, nor is the contempt.."
That pretty much sums it up. This is a dog and pony show to appease Republican voters and NOTHING MORE.
Nope!
