[matginzac]

I don’t know...she’s so arroogant that the “charge” might go beyond just us FReepers.

[Roccus]

BUSH'S FAULT!!!

[william clark]

The disturbing subtext of this whole thing is that no matter what crimes are uncovered, consider who we’d be dependent on to prosecute the perps.

[mardi59]

Cummings time to blame Bush. Cummings is lower than dirt.

[Jane Long]

Cummings has his questioning talking points rehearsed quite well.

[onyx]

BFD - President Bush nominated him in 2007!

Yes, he’s a demonic-rat.
Check his political donations!

[penelopesire]

Cummings set up questions and shulman’s no answers are going to come back and bite the dems on the ass. LOL....

[txmissy]

Exactly.

[Toespi]

No....no.....no.....no.....no....no. What a set up.

[matginzac]

But if she hides behind the fifth, how is she going down?
Who’s going to arrest her?

[Dead Corpse]

Issa’a point was valid and they were derelict in their duty. You KNOW your organization isn’t following the law and you don’t bother getting indignant about it until after an IG report let’s the cat out of the bag?

Oh really...

Several people need to be occupying jail cells over this and a certain pResident needs to abdicate the throne.

[onyx]

Cummings can’t resist.
That was in 2007!
Shulman donates to demonic-rats!

[tflabo]

She should have at a minimum been there to plead the 5th at least a few times before excusing her.

That was before Gowdy jumped in and demanded just that. Issa asked her a few more questions where she took the 5th each time. it was just the right balance to get the effect.

[RedMDer]

Shulman - no instructions to go after conservative groups from WH.

The Commie Cummings is leading the witness to protect Obama.

[Batman11]

“Mr. George REFUSES to INVESTIGATE IRS
apparently because he dated the First Lady.”

Yikes, that’s a crime against humanity!

[mardi59]

Cummings tells the witness “I know you will be truthful”.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

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.

Wouldn't it have been nice to have pressed this formally, now?

Since he's not an attorney, and he knows that Gowdey is, why didn't Issa seek counsel's advice?

It seemed like he was in a hurry to dismiss her, for no apparent reason.

[onyx]

BUMP

[Jane Long]

Grrrr. Taking a break. Have to get work done...can't stand the softballs Cummings is gently handing the Schulman. Nauseating.

Will check in, later.

[txrangerette]

Even if she testified, and lied, Congress can’t arrest her.

A public prosecutor could file charges from a criminal referral from Congress.

But that prosecutor would get to decide whether anything happened at all.
