As far as I’m concerned she is a common criminal and a traitor, to boot. Of course he needs to be jailed - until she talks. Any so-called Republican who would not vote to put her in jail for contempt is a traitor, too.

...requires House Speaker John Boehner to then direct the House sergeant at arms to arrest and confine her.

LOLOL....pant, pant...LOL.

Not in our lifetimes. We need a leader with the fortitude to bring respect and discipline back to the lower house. It isn't Boner, Cantor, or Issa.

I think Lerner is guilty of criminal actions but i think she did it on orders from higher up.

But I do not think you EVER give up your right to the fifth ammendment on a ‘technicality’

If they have people who she ordered to do things then proceed right to a criminal case and call them as witnesses and convict her.

It’s then up to her is she wants to plea bargain for giving up info

... the House of Representatives has the authority to jail her unless she changes her mind about refusing to answer questions about her role in the IRS scandal.

Yes, but ...

... Boehner and other House Republicans don't have the political spine to jail her.

So, the bottom line is, she has absolutely nothing to worry about.

Essentially, what is required for that to happen is for a House majority to vote for a motion holding her in contempt and House Speaker John Boehner to then direct the House sergeant at arms to arrest and confine her.

Well that's the flaw in the plan right there.

Lerner and ALL of her co-conspirators and bosses, including Barack Obama and Valerie Jarrett, deserve prison for their rest of their natural lives.

Sure just like Holder spent the last several years in jail for contempt of Congress.

The House GOP will do nothing, because doing nothing is the safe option. They put Eric Holder in Contempt of Congress in September 2012 and have since done nothing but continue to send Holder letters asking him to comply with subpoenas.

Cowards.

A minor correction to the headline:

Lois Lerner could should go to jail in contempt clash

Waiting till the word should can be changed to the word will.

Maybe the YouTube link should be sent every House Republican.

Poor Lois.

She has to calculate the risk of spending an eight or nine month stretch in the congressional slammer, Vs the possibility of being dead forever.

If Lerner were a Republican and if Democrats controlled the House, then yes, she probably would be sent to jail. But unfortunately, Republican control the House. So the chance of them actually doing anything to punish her remains equal to the probability of Obama releasing his college records.

That mere wrist slaps have become the norm speaks volumes.

A bank treats its depositors in a fraudulent manner. The bank get fined (read, the bank’s shareholders pay for it). How much better if the bank CEO, and others if appropriate, be put in prison? As it stands, the CEO receives no real punishment.

Same with Lerner, Holder, et al. Time in jail is significant.

Forcing Lerner to “suffer” through administrative leave with pay is a joke.
