| Lois Lerner's price for testimony: Immunity |
| 2013-07-03 |
| h/t Instapundit Embattled IRS official Lois Lerner will not testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee unless she's given immunity from prosecution, her lawyer told POLITICO Tuesday. Now it's beginning to move---unless, of course, we see some (chi style) accident happening to her. What stops her from taking immunity and then claiming that she knows nothing? |

| #4 Rita Lavelle (EPA) was indicted for lying to Congress; convicted; sentenced to 6 months in prison, 5 years probation thereafter, and a fine of $10,000. Holder has also been held in criminal and civil contempt of Congress. So far, he continues on. |

| #2 So this means that her lawyer agrees that she blabbed her fifth amendment rights away and behaved illegally. Strange behavior given that the only people who could prosceute her is Holder's Justice Department. What stops her from taking immunity and then claiming that she knows nothing? Exactly. |

| #1 Immune from purgery? Immune from losing her retirement 'stipend'? Immune from falling in the Chicago river? |
