Lois Lerner does about-face, will give Hill testimony on IRS scandal

show us your cite for her apology so we
know what you are referring to

Hmmm...maybe her ADMITTANCE back in 2012 wasn't exactly a apology.

Or maybe she did apologize.

Back when she tried to push it on a couple of rogue agents.

Did you buy that BS ?
 
Are you interested in finding the truth?

Cummings was cut off because he brought politics into the inquiry, starting with his accusations against the Republican party. This would be better mentioned outside the committee if he feels strongly about the issue, while the media could respond to his accusations. It should not become a forum for political party bickering..

no, cummings was cut off very soon after he began his remarks
does issa get to form his questions for him?

show us her admission
 
Why is I$$A wasting the taxpayers money with all his faux scandals playing politics?
Why did Dems not do this when Pelosi took over, especially with Iraq and the 'overlap' scandals ?

If it's a faux scandal why did she plead the 5th?

Cummings was cut off because he was making a statement not asking a question. Certainly even a liberal such as yourself can tell the difference between the two.
 
I thought Obama said there was not a smidgen, if that is the way the word is spelled, of corruption in the IRS, so why would she need to take the 5th on anything?

Could it be that Obama was wrong?

It depends on your interpretation of the word "smidgen".

cummings asked a question
watch the youtube cite i previously provided
of are you of the opinion issa gets to form cumings' questions
 
show us her admission

Grant already linked to a transcript.
Did you not read it ?

Or are you going to keep pretending none of it ever happened ?
 
because she chose to say nothing which could be self incriminating
duh
If it's a faux scandal how could she self incriminate? If there is nothing there why can't she just simply explain the truth? Because she can't and there is.
 
Fireworks at House Oversight Committee.
I smile when I look at Darrel ISSA closing down Democrats from speaking at a hearing, after ISSA speaks for 12 minutes.
I$$A continues to dig a huge grave for the GOP in the election.
$ 14 million--I$$A .

Why would Comrade I$$A not let a single DEM speak ?

I watched it live, he was issuing a statement not asking a question.
 
But ISSA does get to act like a baby and cut off Cummings' mike.
Another link from the GOP to Putin .

Today's events were nothing more than political theater by the democrats. Lerner had no intention of testifying and Cummings was only going to go on some rant that couldn't be debated because Lerner wasn't going to be there to testify. Issa was 100% correct to cut things off.
 
Self incriminating in what way?


Exactly.

Its just a "Witch Hunt ", all fabricated by Issa and the GOP.

So Lerner should have been able to clear this up compeltely back in 2012 instead of taking the Fifth 23 times.
 
I watched it live, he was issuing a statement not asking a question.

then you were not watching the youtube whose cite i provided
cumings certainly did ask a question ... and one which deserves to be heard, then answered
 
Except with you and I$$A .
A certain fifth amendment? The Fifth is fine but it has certain restrictions. This isn't a right/left situation.

Who's acting like a baby here ? Like a petulant child who continues to make things worse by stalling and lying when confronted ?

Its all a GOP creation right ?

So why would Lois Lerners Testimony incriminate her or anyone else ?
 
as usual, you are wrong
she alone gets to make a determination when it is appropriate to invoke her right against self incrimination
nothing you have posted - or could possibly post - changes that reality
I think you are right about that. Your Fifth Amendment right isn't something that is subject to a technicality. She has the right not to testify even if she makes some broad statement about her overall innocence. But that said, everyone, particularly liberals who want a large, sprawling bureaucracy should be outraged at the hint of corruption and wrongdoing. Liberals should be pressing to get the truth out and should be outraged at this womans silence.

lerner testified because she was compelled by issa to do so
and you term that democrat driven theatre. your characterization is stunningly off the mark

issa ended the committee hearing after inviting cumings to ask a question but before allowing him to do so
such an indication the republicans' intent is to get the truth out

Are you against the Constitution when it
doesn't fit your needs ?

Wow thats hypocritical.

What aboit the Constitutional Rights of the Americans that she admitted had been targeted for their political beliefs in 2012 ?

Her rights are more important ? Because she's a Lib ?
