Why Lois Lerner Should Be Granted Immunity

Immunity? I was thinking: the scene from “Taken.”

[Hoosier-Daddy]

If Lois tells the truth, she’s a dead person. She knows it.

Maybe Trey Gowdy could get Liam Neeson to do some “private interviews” of witnesses. :)

My frustration morphs in to anger with every new detail of how thees people gain riches and endless perks for their own security and then are so greedy they have to keep chipping away at our freedoms to further their political ideology.

I don't have an answer, but something has to be done to end this insider club of beltway graft and criminal corruption.

We can continue chipping away at their pentagons of power until they slide into the Potomac. More people are seeing the effects of crony capitalism and will push the dump button with every chance they get.

To get the answers to those questions, you need Ms. Lerner to testify. Instead, the House has wasted a full year chewing over a tough legal issue that, even if it were ultimately resolved in the Oversight Committee’s favor, would not get her any closer to answering questions — at least not for a long time.

The IRS investigation is all about Republicans trying to have it both ways. They want to appear to be tough on the outrageous abuses so they can get re-elected but at the same time "wink wink" don't ya know our Democrat friends nothing will come out of this.

I’m an adult citizen of the USA.

I don’t think you and I root for the same “team”.

I don’t view representative government as a sporting game.

And I particularly don’t view unelected highly paid government employees who criminally abused their positions for partisan political reasons as “individuals who don’t matter”.

I don’t think you and I root for the same “team”.

This is really simple.

Lois Lerner does not matter. Barack Obama does matter.

If you are willing to let Lois take the fall for Barack, then you are the simpleton!

I don’t view representative government as a sporting game.

It isn't. Except insofar as winning matters!

And I particularly don’t view unelected highly paid government employees who criminally abused their positions for partisan political reasons as “individuals who don’t matter”.

I do.

And I sincerely hope they, their friends, relatives, progeny, and history know it! I want everything they believed in and sincerely worked for to be tossed upon the ash heap of history.

[sarasmom]

I'm certain that if you bothered to read the tripe you just posted to me,sober, you would still be unable to comprehend just how astoundingly stupid your comments were.

[Fledermaus]

She would be compelled which is another way of saying tell the truth. She can still face perjury charges if she gives false testimony and it can be proved.
