Louis Lerner continues to take the 5th the court of public opinion it appears that there is guilt. Is she protecting herself, is she covering for someone else. If you are not guilty of anything just answer the questions. Cummings is tired of a one sided investigation.

LOL... I take no man's word for anything. I actually look at the evidence.

Give it a shot. You might surprise yourself.

LOL... wrong. There is no US law, statute, rule, regulation or court decision saying that someone cannot plead the 5th at any time they want. Whatever they may have said before they pled can certainly be used against them. But one cannot "implicitly" waive the 5th permanently.

Here for just one example:

Gosh... that's exactly what I said.

Congressional immunity does not protect her from prosecution. It only protects her from prosecution on charges stemming from her testimony.

It is breathtaking how anxious you guys always are to pontificate on issues about which you apparently know nothing, and then how you desperately hang onto that ignorance even after you've been pointed to what is actually true.
Oliver Norths conviction was overturned because he was granted immunity even though none of his testimony was used to convict him.

Herself. From a witch hunt.

You do not get to pick and choose what questions to answer.

Ohio v. Reiner, 532 U.S. 17 (2001), citing Hoffman v. U.S., 351 U.S. 479 (1951); cf. Counselman v. Hitchcock, 142 U.S. 547 (1892)

Why dont you get a clue...

No. The first and foremost job of the IRS is to collect taxes.

You are wrong. On Page 5 of the IG's report, the word "Progressive" was absolutely on the BOLO.

Perhaps you should take your own advice.

That was the original claim.

It turns out to not have been true.

Perhaps you need to also look up what "assumes facts not in evidence" means.
