Issa asked question and she plead the 5th, which she is entitled to do.

Issa turned the mike over to the dem minority leader and asked him if HE wanted to ASK HER ANY QUESTIONS?

INSTEAD OF ASKING ANY QUESTION HE STARTED OUT MAKING A POLITICAL SPEECH.

When she made it clear that she was NOT going to answer ANY questions there was NO reason to continue the hearing.

Cummings WASN'T going to ask any questions so the purpose of the hearing was impossible to achieve so Isaa closed the hearing and released Lerner instead of wasting everybody's time listening to speeches.
You are incorrect, Issa went on for around 15 minutes reviewing past history interrupted only by Lerner pleading the 5th. He adjourned the hearing, Cummings comments were subsequent to his adjournment. Issa got what he wanted and that was to bring this out yet again, her lawyer already told the committee that she would not testify without immunity so what do you think his motives might have been??

But last week she said she'd testify if only they gave her another week to prepare. She lied..

Why would she need immunity from a crime that didnt happen?

Are you a liberal? The concept seems to have YOU stumped.

Issa must be thinking he hasn't been on TV enough lately. When Fox asked him why he was recalling Lerner when shed already invoked, he claimed she was going to waive and testify. Lerner's lawyer said Issa was full of it.

So Issa recalls Lerner, and whattya know, she invokes again.

And Issa looks like a jackass... AGAIN!

If she does not need immunity, why has her lawyer been negotiating for immunity for her for the past 6 months?
Lois Lerner

As we now know from a vast amount of subsequent testimony and investigation, she was wrong to suggest that it was inappropriate. In point of fact, the IRS targeted political groups on both sides because it was correct to do so, and using key words for the purpose is not political targeting, it is efficient work. Many of those groups did not deserve Tax Exempt status, and the IRS was just doing their job. That's when we all discovered the "scandal" was a fake.

Even I was concerned at first... until the rest of the story came out.

I agree that Issa is no better than the Obama administration here. Both are embarrassments. He knew exactly what was going to happen and should have already accounted for it and got the immunity over with today.

"We are ready to grant you immunity for your testimony, now answer the questions" and then thrown her in jail if she still refused.

But they want to drag this out as much as the administration wants to impede.

LIE.

Conservatives were targeted to DELAY tax exemption status, liberals were AUDITED AFTER they received their tax exemption status, which is the normal process.
