Lois Lerner fears for her life if she testifies at Wednesday's oversight hearing.
[Daily Caller] Lois Lerner fears for her life if she testifies openly before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Wednesday, according to her attorney.

House oversight committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa announced Sunday that Lerner will testify at Wednesday's hearing, but Lerner's attorney Bill Taylor said that Lerner will seek to continue invoking her Fifth Amendment rights and will also seek a one-week delay of her testimony.

Oversight members are reportedly open to granting Lerner a one-week delay if she petitions for one in person at Wednesday's hearing. The delay would allow Lerner's lawyers to continue negotiating for immunity, which they have been doing since at least September.
If she's done nothing wrong, what is there to fear ?
If she's doing nothing wrong, why does she need immunity?
Still not clear why she fears for her life. Is this some kind of Democratic omerta?

#1 Well, if this has to do with Obama giving her direct orders, or even worse, then she may end up like Vince Foster.

#4 Not even a "smidgun" of Corruption.

Does anybody ANYBODY believe Obama would actually LIE to you and to me and to everybody in the room, and possibly Lie to everybody in the entire Nation? Huh?

After all HE is the Messiah.

As to poor Lois, do you feel any pity for her? Even a "smidgun"?
Gas the rat or feed it its own entrails. Or maybe an injection of something that will blast her heartbeat right out her nose. Take her down the hall and do it on the back steps so we don't ruin the rug. Oh, and be sure to vote for Hillary so we keep the same people down at the IRS in place. We are going to continue to need that kind of people for a better and stronger GOVERNMENT. Ready to Rule from Day One.

#8 If she's afraid to testify, doesn't this mean the IRS should be getting an anal probe of epic proportions? By the FBI and other Federal agencies? Death threats from members of a Federal agency should be unacceptable.

How about this, defund the IRS pension fund until the end of the investigation:p

#9 So she is in fear of her life from the Mormons or the Amish or the Tea Party? She may end up like Jimmy Hoffa if she talks. It is the Chicago Boyz she needs to fear.

#16 Even though dismissed by Chairman Issa, Lerner and her legal team appeared to sit obediently through the Cummings tirade.

BASTARDS !

#18 Her comments were an attempt to get this all behind closed doors where the press won't feel the same pressure for not covering it.

I beleave the FBI and others sent the IRS wish-lists of whom they wanted to harrass and thus don't want to be tangled in yet another snooping type deal.
