I am not defeated. But this is Stockman and a a few others with absolutely no leverage on Boehner. Boehner has already said he is not going to put Lerner in jail after she was previously found in contempt by Congress.
This contempt ‘resolution’ is just Stockman taking advantage of the timing of the current news that Lerner was cautioning people to be careful of what they say in emails and to communicate via instant chats which could were unmonitored.
So there’s no defeatism here. There’s only Boehner and he will bet he will not bring it to the floor. He will not allow it.
I think it’s more likely that Boehner will not be reelected as Speaker before I would believe he will put to a vote to jail Lerner.
Boehner seems to be the main reason that BO is getting away with all his criminal activities. Who’s paying him or who’s blackmailing him? That’s all it could be. Let’s call and ask him.
