LOLOLOL.
She merits water boarding!
What a smug, haughty witch!
Who’s this clown doing the “Previously on IRS Hearings...” routine?
I agree, they have a plan and the dumbs have no idea what’s gonna go down.
I have no doubt he does. There's blood in the water now...
Lerner’s big gun attorney.

Being typical Federal management, she'll just get a GS5 to be her food taster with the help of a compliant union steward looking for a promotion.
You are right. My bad. Sounded like he said the other.
Don-o how many times do you need to touch the flame before you realize its going to burn you every time...? ;)
Issa screwed up period.
She should have at a minimum been there to plead the 5th at least a few times before excusing her.
“Do you mean to say that since she gave an opening statement, she accidentally waived the fifth, which she didn’t intend to do. So as a courtesy, Issa is dismissing her entire testimony?”
Yes. The statement is in the record but he is saying you can’t consider it when weighing the evidence.
He is unsure whether her rights are waived in a Congressional setting. He is not a lawyer.
In a court of law it would be deemed waived which was brought up by the lawyers Trey Gowdy and Jim Jordan.
Yes, I believe Issa holds the cards...and is letting them be revealed very slowly. Lerner seemed very nervous. She knows that if she answers questions, whoever gave her the orders will be revealed - and that person/s, obviously, wants her to keep quiet, or else!
“She probably won’t live to see another hearing. Obama’s bus is warming up...”
Yea, If i was Lerner i’d stay off of small planes and away from local parks for a while.
Wolin....
One can not say anything other than their intention to plead the fifth. To say anything else is to waive that right. She made a BIG mistake with her high and mighty opening.
By having her present they can point out later that she had the opportunity to correct previous testimony and did not when they present her with perjury charges
She has given previous statements verbally and in writing. Today, she gave an opening statement entailing her work and I think the fact she stated, “she is over 900” employees is considered testimony. When one gives testimony, that is considered waiving rights to the fifth.
FYI ... Holly Paz’s eight years in private practice is undisclosed.
Which is why it is stunning that the lawyer let her make that statement. I guess he has researched the law and determined that it can’t be considered waiving her rights.
Or they decided there was nothing that Issa can do other than hold her in Contempt of Congress.
Bullfrog in the spotlight ... just before getting 'gigged' for use in the frog-leg fry(?)
And maybe, like obama, Hire herself a food taster for the next couple of months...
