FULL TITLE
IRS villain Lois Lerner risks ARREST after pleading Fifth for a second time at IRS tea-party targeting hearing
The one-time head of the U.S. tax authority's branch overseeing nonprofits won't testify about a years-long scheme to target conservative groups
Congress has the power to hold her in contempt, try her and imprison her in the Capitol jail
That power hasn't been used in more than 75 years but used to be common in bribery and other cases
After the Republican chair of the House Oversight Committee quickly adjourned Wednesday's hearing, his Democratic counterpart went 'ballistic'
Former IRS official Lois Lerner refused for a second time on Wednesday to testify about her role in a scheme to target conservative organizations that applied for tax-exempt status during President Barack Obama's first term in office.
Lerner risks arrest if she is found in contempt of Congress.

May I have your attention please?
May I have your attention please?
Will the real GOP please stand up?
I repeat, will the real GOP please stand up?
We’re gonna have a problem here..
Democrats had no problem having Oliver North arrested for Iran-Contra.

If a contempt vote has the same impact as it did for Attorney Degenerate Holder this is wasted effort.
Where has the Holder contempt vote gone? No where.
At a minimum, Lois Lerner should have her paid vacation suspended, and be summarily dismissed and banned, from Federal Government employment forever. Yeah, right.
Cheerio, old boy, the House of representatives will perform at a different speed if we can keep our mouths shut until after we beat the Democrats in the Senate. Otherwise we will continue to spin our wheels for the rest of Obama’s term.

I say it is time for him to earn his pay.
IIRC, North was arrested by the DOJ, not by some Congressional authority.
One should not expect the same kind of cooperation from Obama's DOJ with a Republican House Committee.
Get real. They don’t have the stones to arrest anybody. Issa huffed out of the meeting. Thats all he’s going to do. What a joke!!
Faces arrest?!?! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
They seem to forget that the defining characteristic of an opposition party is that they oppose to the goals and platform of the party in power. The GOP has failed at this fundamental thing, they offer no opposition in any real tangible sense. Obama wants more debt? "whine whine whine" then APPROVE. Obama wants his nomiees? "whine whine whine" then "oh well, what can we do? APPROVE!". Obama wants to act lawlessly? "whine whine whine" but no hearings held, no special prosecutors appointed. Obama wants to ruin health care? "whine whine whine" but then try to kill Ted Cruz for actually fighting to do something about it and now change the rhetoric to making it affordable (i.e. keeping it).
They are like a vestigial organ, an appendix which does nothing useful but can still cause harm. Well it's ruptured and poisoning the body of our nation with inaction and "me too!" I say remove it and be done with it.
Poor old Scooter Libby spent years in federal prison because he gave an incorrect date in his testimony to the FBI during the totally bogus Valerie Plame media-induced farce.
That’s how Democrats treat Republicans. Let’s have some well-deserved pay-back for this witch, who illegally used the IRS to shut down the participation of TEA Party and other conservative groups in the 2012 election. The GOP is as toothless as Obama’s foreign policy.
Yeah, I believe it. It’ll take time, but they’ll get her.
Yeah, I believe it. It’ll take time, but they’ll get her. “The Service’ needs to come clean on this ...
It isn’t going to happen. The GOP doesn’t have the stomach or guts to fight.
There are more than that . . . I’d definitely add Sen. Jeff Sessions to the list. But the point is that they are too few as a percentage of the total GOP.
Precisely why she probably WILL NOT go to jail.
I can just see and hear the TV and radio spots by the Demonrats about how the Pubbies sent this poor defenseless WOMAN to JAIL for “...simply doing her job!”
That’s one.
What a joke. Don’t say it, DO IT.
