The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform voted on Thursday to hold former IRS official Lois Lerner in contempt of Congress. The committee’s approval paves the way for a vote in the full House of Representatives.
Lerner is accused of leading an effort to target the tax status of conservative organizations, while giving liberal organizations a pass. Lerner previously pled the Fifth Amendment when questioned by the committee on May 22, 2013. The Fifth Amendment protects against self-incrimination.
But since Lerner had previously professed her innocence in a statement, a little over one month later the committee voted that she had waived her right to plead the Fifth. On March 5, 2014, Lerner was again called before the committee, and again refused to answer questions.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
FULL!!!
Eric WithHolder will not prosecute IRS Gangster Lois Lerner, of course, and even if he did, Barack Al-Obama would likely pardon her for her Federal crimes. But, can she be prosecuted in any STATE courts??
Minimalist reporting to support an ideology.
Lerner was deposed by the DOJ and THEN claimed some 5th Amendment protection before congress. The US Courts have never held in favor of selective use regarding enumerated rights.
There are 23 Pubbies on this committee. Of that number, 21 voted FOR. Who were the two that voted AGAINST (or weren’t there?)? I cannot find a roll call on this vote. Thanks.
And?
Then?
when she gets backed into a corner again,odds are she will claim that her father was a slave.
Nothing to see here - this story is not among the 40+ stories featured on the main page of The Seattle Times’ web site.
How long til the beheading?
Do we torture her for info first?
I guess she’s scared sh*tless, considering the severe punishments which ‘Contempt of Congress’ inflicted on Minister of Shenanigans Holder last year?
can she claim that she was drunk at the time as well?
Let me known when the cuff her and perp walk her out of the Capitol.
In the meantime, this is meaningless.

This is a perfect time for a contemptible creature from the IRS to be held in contempt — five days before the tax-filing deadline.
Over the weekend, millions of American taxpayers will have something else to get angry about besides America’s extortionate taxes and the IRS’s frustratingly user-unfriendly instructions for filling out its forms.
Members of the Tea Party — the IRS’s particular victim — should congregate at H & R Block offices over the next few days, waving ‘’Taxed Enough Already’’ signs and commiserating with the long lines of people waiting to be divested of their hard-earned money, especially those emerging from the offices like sheep after their annual shearing.
This is the ideal situation for Tea Party recruiting. Annual demonstrations in front of tax-preparation offices leading up to April 15th could arouse as much anti-tax anger over the years as dumping tea into Boston harbor once did.
.......and put in a cage and strapped to the roof of Mitt’s car....
Perhaps not but I see a sternly worded letter in her future. I'm sure she is dreading it. /s
The two didn’t vote against the contempt citation. They weren’t present. I’m trying to find out who they were.
But if holder won’t prosecute her, is there anything the house can do?
