Lerner pleads the 5th....again....so much for getting to the truth (weapon, Obama)

[pghquest]

ok guys, once again, pleading the 5th, does not mean you are guilty..

That being said, asking for immunity, clearly implies guilt, or you wouldnt need it.

What would one need immunity from other than a crime? Do you even know what immunity is? Means you cant be PROSECUTE for a CRIME..

Pleading the 5th means you are guilty or you are protecting someone else who is guilty.


It will be great when they give her immunity and she has to testify or face contempt charges.

Nope. We hate people that commit crimes and then HIDE behind the Constitution to avoid prosecution.

No, pleading the 5th means they dotn believe the person asking the question should have the answer, for whatever reason..

You could ask me how much money I have in the bank, I could plead the 5th, there isnt a crime taking place, its just not your business..

I know what the technical meaning of it is, I am giving the real world meaning.

Like I said, they can offer immunity and she will have to testify.

If Lehrner ever gets convicted of a crime, perhaps that will be more than mere bloviation.

Until then, you're still just hating on the United States Constitution.

Congress is not a prosecutorial body and you do not testify before Congress or anyone else during an open investigation. Issa knew going into this that any IRS employee involved in that investigation was going to rightly plead the Fifth. This was kabuki theatre and red meat for the base and you've fallen for Iss's false sense of outrage.

Another lefty who shouts up and down about meaningless garbage in an effort to distract from the discussion taking place.

What exactly would someone want immunity from if not a crime?

Actually, no. It doesn't.

It also can mean you are protecting yourself from what you bleieve to be a dishonest prosecution.

And gosh... note how long it has been and they have made no offer. Why is that? Perhaps the "truth" they seek is not the truth they know they would get.



That's the thing about political theater. It is a tale told by an idiot.
