Darrell Issa: Lois Lerner Was Acting on Obama’s Behalf When She Targeted Conservative Groups (Video)
Gateway Pundit ^ | June 23 2014 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 06/23/2014 8:38:05 AM PDT by PoloSec

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) told America’s Newsroom Monday that IRS Chief John Koskinen was not honest with Congress about the lost Lois Lerner emails. Issa also said Lois Lerner was acting on President Obama’s behalf when she targeted conservative groups.

“You came before us. You said you’d tell the whole truth but the truth under oath. Do you believe you told the whole truth? And, of course, the answer would be he did not tell the whole truth… I believe Lois Lerner is hiding something.

I believe the Justice Department, the IRS and the White House are interested in her succeeding and hiding what she’s hiding which is her targeting of conservative groups based on their ideology… Lois Lerner acted on his (Obama’s) opposition.“

Democrats have been open about using the IRS to pursue conservatives.

Behalf but not behest. That’s the good thing about fellow travelers - no instruction required.

Seems like the only thing Republicans can muster is trying to shame Democrats... like pissin’ in the wind, the shame is on them for not standing up for America, the Constitution and rule of law!

Based on what has been revealed so far, why not have Lois Lerner arrested and brought to the House jail. Do the perp walk in front of the cameras. Let her sit there for a few hours. Then Issa and Gowdy should go down there and offer her immunity if she agrees to testify. If she says ‘yes’, convene a hearing immediately and march her upstairs to talk.

I say again that Issa is making a strategic error, pretending to be a lawyer. And I wrote him a respectful email saying so.

"Following a contempt citation, the presiding officer of the chamber is instructed to refer the matter to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia;[10] according to the law it is the "duty" of the U.S. Attorney to refer the matter to a grand jury for action."

That’s “Contempt of Congress”. It’s “Inherent Contempt” iirc that allows the House itself to jail someone for contempt.
